Hastings water theme park Splash Planet has been named in the top five in Trip Advisors Traveller’s Choice awards for
amusement and water parks in Australasia/South Pacific.

Hastings Mayor Lawrence Yule says “To be ranked fifth in the amusement and water park category in Australasia is an
enormous accolade for Splash Planet. The ranking is based on reviews from visitors and it is extremely gratifying to
know that the majority of the reviewers were thrilled with the experience they had at Splash Planet and the park is
living up to visitors expectations.”

the park maintains its place at the top of the list of tourist destinations in the district.”
