If you’re road tripping the 309 Road (which is a super windy stretch of road in the Coromandel) and you love getting to see the more unique parts of the places you travel, you have to make time to stop at The Waterworks.

This is a water/theme park with 70 upcycled attractions made from recycled materials and powered solely by water. There's a zipline, playground, two swimming holes, jumping boards and a huge water slide. It's good for adults and children - I loved coming here as a child, and bet it'll make you feel like a kid again!
