Adventure Cove Waterpark at Resorts World Sentosa

What attracted us to this theme park is the promise of being able to swim with 20,000 fishes. If this is as good as what I imagine then we don't have to travel overseas for snorkeling anymore.

Since most of the attractions are not suitable for toddler, we didn't bring our daughter with us. We thought it would just slow us down and with the school holidays just started, the place could have been packed to the limit.

Adventure Cove Waterpark
The waterpark is one of the attractions of Resorts World Sentosa besides Universal Studios, The Maritime Experiential Museum, and the S.E.A Aquarium.

Walkway to the Adventure Cove Waterpark

The entrance

We reached there around 10am and to our surprise there wasn't any queue at all! Yeah, so far so good. :)

The ticket price for an adult is $29. But since the dolphins aren't here yet, they gave us a $5 meal voucher which can be used anywhere in RWS, not just inside the park.

The dolphin pool is still empty.

A reminder of the dress code.

Rainbow Reef
Snorkeling is the first thing we tried once we arrived. We had to pick up a life jacket and snorkeling gear before going into the aquarium.

Rainbow Reef is actually an aquarium.

Get your life jacket here.

The colorful fishes

It definitely had more fishes than what we saw in our snorkeling trips but somehow it lacked the excitement. There were a lot of fish but not much varieties. The coral was so so only. The aquarium wasn't deep and big enough so it felt like a pool. No, this can't replace the real thing. :((

Dueling Racer
It was quite a thrilling ride, and at some point I felt like Aladdin with my magic carpet. :P

Race with a friend.

Storage racks to put your stuff before going up the slides.

Pick up a mat.

And off you go.

Bluewater Bay
Wave pool wasn't really my cup of tea. It made me seasick.

Cabanas at the Bluewater Bay.

Tidal Twister and Pipeline Plunge

These two slides are side by side.

Spiral Washout and Whirlpool Washout

The four slides above were pretty similar, it started with a series of dark tunnel, some twisting and turning, a sudden water spray and finally splashing out of the tunnel. All the slides were quite entertaining, we took them a few times each.

Riptide Rocket
This is the one slide you should not miss. It is pretty much like a roller coaster ride that sends you up and then suddenly plunges at maximum speed... for as much as three times!! I couldn't stop laughing after I took this, too much adrenalin!

Adventure River
It's a relaxing river ride on a float, sans the adventure. A notable mention was passing underneath an aquarium full of manta rays.

Toddler playground
The Big Bucket Tree House and the Seahorse Hideaway are the only places where toddlers could play. No wonder it's free entry for kids under 4 years old.

Big Bucket Treehouse

Seahorse Hideaway is a toddler pool.

F&B Outlets
There is only one restaurant here and the menu didn't whet my appetite. Chicken rice, nasi lemak, fish and chips which I wouldn't mind if I had no other choice. But I had already imagined having the char kway teow at the Malaysian Food Street, which is only a 5 minutes walk from here. :D

Submarine snack kiosk

Bay Restaurant

We were so lucky that there were very few visitors on that day. The park was so empty that I had a feeling there were more staffs than visitors hehe... We took two to three rides per attraction and completed all in less than 3 hours. Since we finished the rides, we went to get change before going out for lunch.

Very nice shower room with wet and dry section.

Before we exited the park, we had our hand stamped so that we could come back later.

Malaysian Food Street
We were famished after having all the rides. See how much food we ordered.

Malaysian Food Street

Famous food streets in Malaysia

Buzz of a typical hawker center at night, complete with a moon. :D

Very nice char kway teow. Better than those I had in Penang. If only they had a branch outside Sentosa, I would be their loyal customer.

Chendol was pretty good too, comparable to the one in Malacca.

Chicken rice ball wasn't good. Singapore chicken rice tastes better.

Roti Prata was so so only.

After we finished our lunch, we still had pretty much half a day before the park was closed. So we thought of going to pick up our daughter from home and bring her to the waterpark. But unfortunately, it rained heavily soon after we reached home.
