About BLAST Aqua Park
Blast Aqua Park Coolum is located on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland Australia - at 60 Junction Drive Coolum. The park covers a huge area, roughly 100 meters by 70 meters, and boasts a wide array of inflatable fun items for everyone’s enjoyment, suitable for ages from 6 all the way up to the elderly.
Slides, blast bags, trampolines, swings, challenge tracks, balance beams, wobble pads and chill out areas are just a few of the many and varied features enclosed within the extensive walkways and floating tracks of the course
On shore we have extensive shade structures, free BBQ areas, change rooms, picnic benches and sunloungers. A new café with great coffee and a new kiosk are all provided for your convenience and comfort under the natural shaded environment and white sand beaches.
Blast Aqua Park Coolum will welcome you for the day or just for a few hours. If you have a party, breakup or celebration of any sort we offer a great option for groups large or small.
Customers should arrive at least 30 minutes prior to their preferred time to allow for their ticket purchase, the signing in process and the safety briefing. This time may become longer as peak season approaches. All patrons need to be on the beach dressed and ready to go 10 minutes prior to the session start time. Latecomers cannot join a session that has already started once the safety brief has been delivered

Participants should note that Blast Aqua Park Coolum is a strenuous outdoor physical activity that does requires strength, stamina and fitness. The runways and obstacles of the course are all inflatable items anchored in place and floating on the water surface. As such they are slippery and form an unstable but fun platform, where injuries can and do occur. Waivers must be signed by all participants before they can use the park.
Frequently asked questions

BLAST Aqua Park at Coolum is suitable for a wide variety of ages from the very young to very elderly.
Ages 4, 5 and 6 may use the Aqua Park but must be accompanied by their parent in a one-on-one situation (who accepts 100% responsibility for them at all times). Both the parent and child will need to purchase a ticket.
Ages 7 and over may go on the park on their own if their parent is satisfied that they are competent. Under 4 years of age are not permitted on the aqua park but are welcome with their family group on land.

Covid?

Do I need to be able to swim?
You do need to be a competent swimmer as you will find yourself in the water at various times during your session. You will also need to be able to move quickly out of the way of other participants when needed. For small children that are accompanied by a parent it is likely that you will use the easier obstacles, but the parent must be a competent swimmer and confident in the water and be able to propel both themselves and their child through the water.

No, but participants should note that Blast Aqua Park Coolum is a strenuous outdoor physical activity that does requires strength, stamina and fitness. The runways and obstacles of the course are all inflatable items anchored in place and floating on the water surface. As such they are slippery and form an unstable but fun platform, where injuries can and do occur. Indemnity forms must be signed by all participants before they can use the park.
What about my toddler?
We have a small roped off area where people can wade and this is suitable for young children as well. It is an insurance requirement that all people who enter the water wear an approved buoyancy vest. We will be happy to supply one free of charge as long as we have one of a suitable size.

Sorry. We are unable to offer memberships at this time.
Can I have an exclusive booking?
Exclusive bookings are not available during normal opening days and times. We do offer the possibility of exclusive session/s outside of but concurrent with our normal opening times.
Our park is large and needs a lot of staff to cover safety needs even for minimal numbers on the water and staff costs must be reflected in our price to operate outside of hours.
Most people find that their needs are better and more economically accommodated during our normal operating times - we can easily accommodate over 300 people on the water at any one time, so a session or sessions during our normal opening times is almost always the best option for most groups. (Please note that the numbers we can allow on the park are currently restricted.)
If you have a large group that is willing to absorb the staffing costs required to operate the park, please contact us for a quote.
Please note that alcohol is never allowed on our park.
You can contact us here https://aquaparkcoolum.com.au/contact if you want a quote for a private function.
What if I purchase tickets and can not attend on the day I originally wanted?
You can change the date and session times of your ticket up to 24 hours before the time of the booking. Email us at info@aquaparkcoolum.com.au.
What if I purchase a discount ticket from a discount provider?
We occasionally provide a block of tickets to discount providers, but they are not always available. They are unlikely to be available in the near future.
Tickets purchased from discount outlets are subject to the conditions on their site and they are not the same as tickets purchased directly from us. For instance they will have a specific period that they are valid (not 365 days from the date of purchase as is the validity of tickets purchased directly from us) and may not be able to be used on every day that we are open - eg they are almost never available on public holidays. There may be other differences and if you intend to purchase from a discount outlet you should check the conditions carefully before purchase to make sure they are suitable for your needs.
The discount provider is the owner of the tickets they are selling and they are no longer under our control. Any issues with tickets purchased from discount outlets must be addressed to them. We cannot extend dates of available usage on tickets purchased from discount outlets or alter conditions as they were made available to the discount provider at the reduced rate on the basis that they were only available on those conditions.
Are lockers available?
Yes, lockers are available for hire.
What if I just want to watch my group?
We do not charge for spectators that attend as part of a group.
Do I need to sign an Indemnity form
Yes all participants must read our safety rules and sign an indemnity form before being allowed onto the park. These are available to sign online or can be completed on site at the kiosk
Ages 18 and over may sign their own indemnity form, under 18’s need to be included on an parent and/or guardians form (18 or over).
Are there any sharks?
No. We are a freshwater man-made lake
Why is the water a brown colour?
The water is fresh, clear and clean. The brown colour is from the tea tree oils in the natural bushland surrounding the lake. Some people suggest that tea tree oil is good for the skin, but that is something you should decide for yourself.
