Wet World Batu Pahat, Johor’s water attraction

It’s a colourful world at the only waterpark in Johor; the Wet World Batu Pahat. Built around the town‘s famous Merdeka Lake, the waterpark spreads over a 44-acre landscaped park.

Shrieks and laughter from children and adults greet you as you enter the park.  Everyone is having enormous fun playing in the water. The Wave Pool is definitely one of the biggest attractions. Both young and old seem to love hanging out on the Wave Pool beach, waiting for the waves to rush up and splash over them, It’s even more fun to jump into a yellow or red floatable and ride the waves, as many people are doing.

o         For more challenges, do try the Covered Slide and the Giant Slide, and allow yourself to rush through the twists and turns on a jet of water. You’ll want to go on these water rides again and again. The Action River that loops around the park is just the place for team racing, or for families to have some splashing fun. Small children can also enjoy themselves at the Wet World Batu Pahat as there are special water areas designed for their needs. Accompanied by adults, small children can splash about safely in the kids’ pool and play on the kiddy slides. Once they’ve discovered the fun of playing in the water, they will not want to get out.

o         After all the excitement of the water rides, it’s time to take it easy and relax in the swirling waters of the Jacuzzi. For those with lots of leg energy, they may want to try the paddleboats and paddle around in the lake.

If you like fishing, why not join the many people at the lake and try your luck at landing a fish? There is also an area where ducks, swans and ostriches are kept, which will surely interest the children. With activities for everyone to enjoy, whatever the age group it’s no wonder the Wet World Batu Pahat is a favourite destination in Johor.
