Things to know before booking your … tickets

Booking window

Ticket availability: Book in advance as high‐demand dates may sell out 3–4 weeks ahead (As of 2023‑10‑01). Online purchases guarantee your chosen date and help you avoid onsite queue delays.

What’s included

Standard admission: Your ticket provides full-day access to all standard attractions. Note that optional upgrades—such as reserved seating or cabana rentals—are available separately and are not included in the base price.

Entrances & flow

Dedicated entrance: You will use a separate entry gate with mandatory security checks and turnstile scanning. While pre‐purchasing online helps bypass ticket booths, security protocols remain in place on arrival.

Ways to explore

Self-guided access: Once inside, explore at your own pace. Arriving early maximizes your ability to claim seating and minimizes delays at popular attractions.

Policies & rules

Regulated entry: Strict rules apply regarding proper attire, restricted outside food, and non‑allowance of loose items. Familiarize yourself with onsite policies to ensure a smooth experience.

Tips & guidelines

• Wear approved swimwear without metal zippers or rivets; pack a spare swimsuit to ensure safety on slides while keeping comfort intact throughout the day.
  
• Bring water shoes or secure flip-flops to prevent slips on wet surfaces; some slides may require you to remove or hold onto your footwear for safety.
  
• Apply waterproof sunscreen and pack a light jacket or wrap, especially for cooler early mornings or windy late afternoons when water reflection can intensify UV exposure.
  
• Pack an extra towel and a change of clothes for post-ride comfort; consider renting a locker for valuables since loose items are not allowed on most rides.
  
• Follow posted safety and height guidelines and maintain a calm, patient attitude in busy queues to ensure a secure and enjoyable park experience.
