Adventure Cove

So Dog and I went on an impromptu money-spending spree to Adventure Cove yesterday! She coincidently saw an online promotion where they were selling two adult tickets for $50 (usual price is $38/person) so we bought the tickets Monday night and went on Tuesday. Efficiency hoorah.

(I didn't take any pictures so I'm getting them online haha)

Map Of Adventure Cove

It is actually really, really small. Really small. Like it would only take you about 15 minutes to walk one round. But the thing about Singapore is, we are super awesome at utilising small spaces.

Most of the rides are really standard. You could find them in Wild Wild Wet for a cheaper price. AC has slightly cleaner waters, less Singaporeans and way more lifeguards.
The entrance ticket does not include Ray Bay, Shark something, or Dolphin something. So you don't get to touch stingrays, sharks, or dolphins (not much to watch either). You have to buy separate tickets for those at a couple of hundred dollars I think.

Kiss ze dolphins

(Sorry kinda small)

The highlight of AC for me is the Rainbow Reef where you get to snorkel in the saltwater aquarium! Yay~ I have never snorkeled before (I was too young when my family went on a vacation to a Malaysian paradise island *sigh* and my mom refused to let a 3-year-old snorkel. *SIGH* #liferegret), so I thought that the Rainbow Reef was plenty fun. It's quite (use of word is subjective) deep and there are more fish than I thought there would be. I saw Nemo, Bubbles, Dory, Dory's cousin, Dory's cousin twice removed, Dory's cousin thrice removed, and some bigger fish. They had some sparse corals here and there too.

The most thrilling ride would be Riptide Rocket where you really just zip along the bumpy tracks. The heavier you are, the faster you go. Sadly the queue was no joke. Dog and I went on a Tuesday and we had to queue for I'm estimating 30 mins. Imagine going on a weekend or public holiday.

Another ride I really enjoyed was Adventure River where you just float, get stuck in bubble float traffic jams, and float.

The coolest part of AR is where you could see the stingrays and Dory's family swimming beside you, only to be separated by a glass wall.


I have to warn you though, the floor is SUPER PAINFUL to walk on. They had to make the floor rougher throughout the park for better friction, but I didn't think about it and went barefoot (I wore sports shoes there. Idiot.) and lost a good patch of skin on my heel. Wear slippers there everyone, if you care about your foot skin.

Overall, I felt that yes, it was worth the $25 (mainly because I have never snorkeled before), but if I had to pay $38 I wouldn't be happy. You can go to cheaper Wild Wild Wet (Downtown East, Pasir Ris) for water rides. Adventure Cove is more tourist-y and most of the people there are tourists (AKA more eye candy hahahaha~).

Oh yeah, the food there is twice as expensive as food sold in Vivo food junctions. They don't allow outside food, but really, who would actually go and open your bag to check (unless there is a really distinctly food-ish bump). So eat up before you go and bring snacks! They have water coolers so water is not an issue (duh, haha).

Also, the lockers there are at $10 for small lockers and $20 for big lockers for the entire day and you can open them as much as you want.

Ok bye~
