To start with there were no road side signs on the main road to direct you to the place. We had to ask around and also depend on online driving directions. once we got there we were dissapointed because the water was icecold and the younger kids couldn't enjoy it at all. The age restriction of 12 for the rides is too restrictive and just bogus. You can go with a six yr old and say he's 12 and they'll probably let him ride. They should have a height restriction instead for the safety of all. And what really pissed us off was when we were about to leave the place, we were told to exit in a back way that took as by their shopping center. Probably to get customers to buy stuff from the shops. Cheap!!By then we were exhausted and having to walk around instead of going out the way we came was unnecessary and very ungrascious. The place itself and the rides and the water play grounds are decent and fun but not so confident about its sanitation as there were bad smells in some areas and rides.

This is one of the world super expensive places, which I don’t recommend for professionals. They don’t have package for groups, families. For example you will pay 2500 ( will increase regularly - October 2024 price) for entrance to water park per person. Which is crazy doesn’t take into account also the living standard of Ethiopian people. Shame

We went during a quiet time, which was fortunate as the place wasn't packed. This is a fun water park to visit with a lot of fast slides. You could easily spend an entire afternoon there with family. Staff working the park were friendly and approachable.

Great place but the signage from the main road could be improved. We missed the turn to the place and ended at the end of town. Please improve the signage including distance from destination and indication of where to turn from the main road.

Nice water park about 40 min by road from Addis Ababa. Nice variety of water slides. The only beef I have with the place is they are over restrictive in their slides as even simple slides have an age limit of 12 years. In most countries you find a height restriction of 120 cm, not age ! Most 8 year olds can slide on most of those simple slides as they do in other countries. Otherwise it’s a good place to relax with children. Their wave pool is the highlight of the visit !

Although it was the rainy season and was cold, since we were visiting Bishoftu, we could not pass up on a visit.
We enjoyed the rides, it was so much fun.
