Soon the holiday season will arrive in my area because the majority of people here are Muslim to celebrate Eid al-Fitr. I will share a recommendation for a tourist spot that is suitable to visit with family for the next vacation,
A popular tourist spot in my area is one related to water rides because there is no beach in my area. This time I will share the Waterboom with you. Coming with my family, I came to a tourist spot called "IKHSAN WATERBOOM".
This tourist destination is not only for those who want to swim. But just enjoying the natural scenery around is also very good.
When I first entered, I paid an entrance ticket of $0.7, then there was a corridor to go to the main area of the waterboom. Throughout the corridor, visitors will not get bored because these corridors are arranged nicely.
At the top of the corridor, there is a net cover to reduce the heat of the sun so that visitors who walk do not feel hot. Also decorated with colorful umbrellas.
On the left side you can see the main area of the waterboom. There are high rides that can also be seen as giant buckets to pour water into the lower area to the visitors' area.
While on the right side there are also fish ponds that have many large ornamental fish.
In the fish ponds are planted various trees, such as mangrove trees whose roots can protect the fish. Here I also saw yellow ornamental bamboo trees at the end there.
Along the way the hallway is very pleasant and not boring with nice decorations. Visitors here who mostly like to take pictures look happy to take pictures among the umbrellas.
There are also other animals besides fish on the right side of the hallway. There are poultry. Types of small chickens with beautiful feathers.
Before swimming I walked to the back area of this place which is an artificial lake. Visitors can sit around the artificial lake. Feels like a picnic.
There is a replica of a Dutch windmill, although I have never been to the Netherlands but at least I have seen it on YouTube ehehe. Not too similar but this windmill replica can actually be an attraction for visitors to this place.
The area around the lake is quite shady, especially for relaxing. On weekends there will be other water rides on this lake, only when I came here on a weekday so there were no water rides like duck paddles that are usually available in artificial lakes.
There is a garden with various plants that make this place even shady around the artificial lake such as coconut trees. Short coconut trees that bear abundant fruit.
Around the park there are also several huts for visitors to sit with their families. It feels cool in these wooden huts.
In the waterboom area there are 3 parts of the pool divided according to their depth. The lowest level has an inverted bucket that spills water for the fun of children because the swimming pool is not deep.
While in the main part with a deep swimming pool for adults there is a giant slide. I had to climb a lot of steps to be able to slide on this giant slide. It felt very exciting!
There is also I try a simple fountain in the corner of the adult pool to add to the sensation of excitement for visitors! So fresh! I have to tried this fresh small fake fountain well yeah.
Overall, the most important thing I think is that the pool water is very clean and well-maintained. I feel there is no chlorine smell. I feel comfortable swimming with my little nephews here.
The great thing also in my opinion is this tourist spot allows visitors to bring food from outside so we can save money. But here there are all various snacks and drinks provided for visitors.
