Wednesday 13 April (Day 3) from 10am to 12pm isn't for the faint hearted with the return of the greatest ever water balloon fight at Water War Zone in the parklands, along with double trouble dual lane and 12metre giant waterslides and the monster foam machine canon. All free!
Unique to the Waterfront on Day 4 is the ultimate 'learn to scuba dive' experience in the Wave Lagoon for ages 10 years and over, which must be pre-booked to secure a spot on Thursday 14 April.

For those who haven't met a real-life mermaid before, Mermaid Sandy will make an appearance in the Recreation Lagoon each weekday at 12pm, telling ocean stories, allowing photos and answering questions about what it's like to be a real mermaid.
On Saturday 16 April dress the family up at 5.30pm for a chance to win a fantastic prize for best character inspired by a favourite movie, book or game. The Mario Kart games battle will be featured on the big screen before the free screening of Tom and Jerry (PG) animation under the stars.
Families are also reminded that they can casually enjoy a variety of activities at Darwin Waterfront with the Wave Lagoon, Recreation Lagoon, Aqua Park inflatable waterpark and interactive Royal Flying Doctor's facility and more open all day, every day throughout the holidays.
