What better way to beat the summer heat than with refreshing, fun-filled water and beach activities with your family? This summer, Discovery Bay has prepared many exciting games for you to enjoy a Funtastic Summer!

From 21 July to 12 August, Tai Pak Beach will turn into a Jurassic Water Park with a series of exhilarating inflatables installed. At the centre of the park lies the Jurassic Water Slide, where children can enjoy thrilling dash as well as a breath-taking sea view. Other than that, energetic sporting activities including  Little Captain's Party and the Mini Summer Olympics will give children an unforgettable summer experience.
