One of the newest features at African Lion Safari near
Cambridge, Ontario is a fabulous water park that appeals to youngsters
of all ages and the adults who bring them to the attraction.
Misumu Bay Wet Play is an interactive water adventure for kids. A tipping
bucket, water sprays and a splash pool all keep the youngsters busy
after they have enjoyed everything else that the attraction has to offer.
Bathing suits are required and toddlers in diapers are restricted to
certain areas that appeal to them. They must however have tight-seal
plastic pants that are available at the Beachwear Shop.
Height restrictions apply with one area being reserved for children
in the 40" to 60" category.
Children receive an official height measurement.
We watched for some time as the little folk ran back and forth under
the sprays and mushrooms that made a hot afternoon a delight. They were
thoroughly enjoying themselves as some parents watched and others who
had donned their bathing suits led them by the hands. The brightly colored
pink surface in the toddler area is very soft and that is good for little
tumbles. When we were there a lot of babies were gleefully enjoying
the water break.
Water slides, flat areas, water umbrellas and small shallow depressions
in the surface are just right for the tiniest of customers at the park.
If it's a soaking you want you'll get it and dozens of older kids were
gathered, some with their parents, under the huge water bucket that
slowly fills then dumps on those below.
Water slide tubes and other unique water features kept them busy and
happy for a long time.
There is some seating for parents within the pool area allowing the
kids to enjoy themselves while the parents were close at hand.
A change room and washroom building is adjacent to the water area.
The Beachwear Shop carries a number of products that patrons might require.
It is obvious that this feature of the Lion Safari was a great idea
and something that will bring more families to the attraction, especially
on hot summer days.
