AQUA PLANET Pampanga Reboot: Better Food with Air-conditioned Cabanas!

So happy to be back at the new and improved Aqua Planet with the boys.

We loved the modern water park rides, the filtered water and the water fun for kids of all ages.

After they closed the park for a reboot, they now have better food, air-conditioned cabanas and better safety standards for the rides. You’ll love it!

First Things First

Aqua Planet is the most modern water theme park in the Philippines and one of the biggest of its kind in Asia.

Aqua Planet houses four (4) state-of-the-art filtration systems that cater to specific areas of the facility, all capable of monitoring the PH level, chlorine level and other measurements to ensure safe and clean water inside the water park.

Check out Aqua Planet Waterpark Admission Ticket in Clark via Klook.

Better Cabanas

You have to get the new Air-conditioned Cabanas for ₱9,000 with a capacity of 15 pax.

It’s a great escape for a hot mid-day where you can leave your things safely and have a roof to protect you when it rains. It’s worth it if you’re with a group.

Get A-9 which is ideally located near the wave pool and the kid’s area.

You’ll be welcomed with complimentary water and branded souvenir items.

The cabana comes with a safety deposit box and a refrigerator. There’s free wi-fi all around the park.

 


Better Food

Aqua Planet menu

They now have a proper kitchen, instead of just food kiosks, to provide better food.

They use a cashless system, so make sure to load your e-wallet before you order.

You can’t bring food inside. Budget about ₱3,000 for a family of 6.

Kung Pao Chicken with Rice (₱230), Pork Adobo with Rice (₱120), Pork Sisig with Rice (₱120), 6 pcs. Nuggets with Rice and Drinks (₱160)

Since you are in Pampanga, the sisig and adobo will not disappoint. Get the kung pao chicken for something different and the nuggets for the kids.

The meals tasted home-cooked and were served in eco-friendly boxes.

Fried Chicken Bucket (₱1,350) 8 pcs with 6 rice and drinks

The most sulit was the fried chicken bucket that your family can enjoy.

It tasted like the chicken you dig at home. Best to eat it while it’s hot.

Aqua Pounder (₱480)
Aqua Pounder (₱480)

For burgers, the double patty pounder was the most satisfying.

Angus Burger (₱270)

The angus burger was decent (don’t compare it with Shake Shack, of course).

Cheese Burger (₱260)

This was not worth since it was priced the same as Angus. They should have priced this at ₱200 below.

 


Better Safety Limits

200 lb Maximum Limit

Hurricane Slides Aqua Planet
Hurricane Slides: Want to know if you can take it to the next level? Our next attraction is a more extreme version of the Spiral Slides. The four spacious Hurricane slides will give you the best ride of your life! Ride on twists and bends that can either be a slow or a fast course that can be enjoyed on a double raft!

WATER DEPTH: 3 feet
SLIDE WEIGHT MAX: 200 lbs or 90.72 kg
MINIMUM HEIGHT TO RIDE: 48 inches or 4 ft
TYPE OF FLOATER: Double Tubes

They now enforce the 191 lb weight limit for this ride to make sure you don’t flip over.

I have to lose a few more pounds to truly enjoy this with the kids.

AQUA LOOP Aqua Planet
AQUA LOOP. Behold, the most extreme ride there is on this planet, the Aqua Loop! Be ready for a jaw-dropping 100-meter free-fall into a heart-stopping 360-degree-loop as the launch flap opens below your feet, allowing you to slide down in a standing position.

WATER DEPTH: 5 inches
SLIDE WEIGHT MIN: 100 lbs or 45.36 kg
SLIDE WEIGHT MAX: 200 lbs or 90.72 kg
MINIMUM HEIGHT TO RIDE: 60 inches or 5 ft
TYPE OF FLOATER: N/A ***This is a body slide
NUMBER OF RIDERS AT A TIME: 1
SPECIAL FEATURES: The Aqua Loop Tower holds two slides beautifully designed to be interlaced with each other, allowing riders to experience the jolting fun at the same time without interfering with each other.

If you are heavy (more than 200 lbs), then you have an excuse not to try this.

This is a good coming of age challenge for the boys one of these days.

 


Below 48 inches

Yugi had limited water ride options but he still loved the experience.

Orc Lagoon Aqua Planet
Orc Lagoon: An orc wonderland with water cannons, wheels, ropes and a giant bucket that splashes every four minutes, making it enjoyable for kids and adults alike!

WATER DEPTH: 0-12 inches
SLIDE WEIGHT MAX: 200 lbs or 90.72 kg
RESTRICTIONS: Area is reserved for children under 47 inches or 4 ft and must be accompanied by an adult.

This water playground is where the parents and the little ones can enjoy together.

Mermaid Bay
Mermaid Bay: Water play made extremely fun for kids as they enjoy curved, spiral and juxtaposed slides with an exciting array of sprinklers namely the fig, small turtles, sunny flowers, colorful mushrooms, morning glory and even a friendly alligator. You also may be just as lucky to see the mermaid! 

WATER DEPTH: 0-14 inches
SLIDE WEIGHT MAX: 200 lbs or 90.72 kg
RESTRICTIONS: Area is reserved for children under 47 inches or 4 ft and must be accompanied by an adult.

This was Yugi’s all-time favorite because he could enjoy it on his own.

A great photo-op with the family and the little ones.

The Bubblies: BELLOW (Blue Bubblie “The Team Player”) and QUINCE (Pink Bubblie “The Artsy Muse”)

Catch the mascots dancing around the kid’s park.

Wave River Aqua Planet
Wave River. Cruise through a 412-meter current as it takes you to a relaxing tour around the planet. It is the perfect attraction to see Aqua Planet as a whole as it sweeps you around on a single raft. Lazy River, out…

Wave River, in! WATER DEPTH: 0-3ft7 in
SLIDE WEIGHT MIN: 100 lbs or 45.36 kg
SLIDE WEIGHT MAX: 200 lbs or 90.72 kg
MINIMUM HEIGHT TO RIDE: 60 inches or 5 ft
TYPE OF FLOATER: Single Tubes, Life jackets for children under 48 inches/4 ft and weak swimmers
RESTRICTIONS: Children under 48 inches must be accompanied by an adult.

We spent most of our time here, especially after we finished all the rides.

WAVE POOL Aqua Planet
Wave Pool: Plunge into a 3500 sq meter pool that could generate 8-types of gigantic waves situated in front of a 600-inch LED TV to amplify a #wavetasticexperience you’ll never forget!

WATER DEPTH: 0-5 ft 9 in
TYPE OF FLOATER: Life jackets for children under 48 inches/4 ft and weak swimmers
RESTRICTIONS: All children under 48 inches must be accompanied by an adult.

The wave pool is a great hangout place to enjoy the challenging waves.

Good thing they had life vests appropriately sized for the kids so that the whole family could enjoy.

 


48 inches and above

Tornado Aqua Planet
Tornado: Scream through the twists and the sudden 45-degree drop of pure adrenaline with your friends as a gigantic funnel take you to the extremes while giving you the thrill of being inside a huge tornado!

WATER DEPTH: 3 feet
MINIMUM HEIGHT TO RIDE: 48 inches or 4 ft
MINIMUM WEIGHT TO RIDE: A maximum combined weight of 792 lbs
TYPE OF FLOATER: Quad Tubes

The most challenging and the most fun because of the sudden drop that you can enjoy with 4 of your family or friends.

We made sure to do this first because this had a long line.

Superbowl Aqua Planet
Superbowl: Experience a whirl of a lifetime as the four-person raft slide, Super Bowl, devours you into its spiral tubes, swinging you right to left into a grand splashdown!

WATER DEPTH: 3 feet
SLIDE WEIGHT MIN: 88 lbs or 39.92 kg
SLIDE WEIGHT MAX: 200 lbs or 90.72 kg
MINIMUM HEIGHT TO RIDE: 48 inches or 4 ft
TUBE MAX COMBINED WEIGHT: 660 lbs or 299.37 kg
TYPE OF FLOATER: Quad Tubes
NUMBER OF RIDERS AT A TIME: 4

After the Tornado, this felt like a walk in the park, but we did this next because of the long line as well.

Octopus Racers Aqua Planet
Octopus Racers: Race your way head first through six side by side race tracks of colorful and vibrant slides beginning with an enclosed loop for a much needed healthy competition with your family and friends!

WATER DEPTH: 5 inches
SLIDE WEIGHT MIN: 88 lbs or 39.92 kg
SLIDE WEIGHT MAX: 200 lbs or 90.72 kg
MINIMUM HEIGHT TO RIDE: 48 inches or 4 ft
TYPE OF FLOATER: Race Mat
NUMBER OF RIDERS AT A TIME: 1

The boys love a racing challenge, but of course the heaviest wins in this race.


Final Thoughts

It is best to go on weekdays to enjoy the place with fewer lines and less crowds.

Weekends are too crowded, but you can use Klook to skip the lines. Make sure to go as early as 8 before the park opens, and don’t stress yourself to finish everything.

Congratulations to the Aqua Planet team for a job well done fixing the issues and offering better food—a successful reboot!
