A fun day at Atlantic Splash Adventure

It was granddaughter Sadie's 9th birthday on Monday, so we packed a lunch and drove over to Halifax to the Atlantic Splash Adventure amusement park about 50 minutes away.

The weather for this type of activity was perfect. Sunny, with highs about 26C (79F). Even I went on the waterslides a couple of times, and I'm not much of a water person!

The park itself isn't the greatest, but then I guess you can't expect a Six Flags experience in Nova Scotia. But its great for the younger kids, and Sadie with her brother Cameron and cousin Cohen had a blast. 

Ruth and I weren't on the ball though. We purposely left the big camera behind, because we also have a small waterproof camera... but we forgot to bring it. To make matters worse, I forgot to bring my phone as well! Stupid. So all of the following photos were taken with daughter Lindsey's cell phone.

They also have a go cart track.

Me, ready to put my brain bucket on!

$5 for five laps is a reasonable price, but the carts were pretty slow.

Racing around the track.

Sadie liked the merry go round, but it was a bit lame for the older boys.

Playing on the bumper boats.

Nice looking roller coaster in the background, but it's apparently been closed for over a year as they are waiting for a part. You would think that whatever they are waiting for could be manufactured in less than a year. Oh well.

Over to the water slides.

As I said, good fun but mostly for kids. It looked like the funnest (is funnest a word?) ride was the tube ride above, but there was a huge lineup for it. Still, it was a good day out for some family time.

  1. Well as it was Sadie's birthday and as she is nine I'd say it was a perfect birthday experience! Not much is lame to a nine year old girl especially if her Gramma and Grampa are with her😊

    1. As Kevin said it was great for the kids, they had a blast and that is all that mattered, I think for Kevin and I. it felt a little lame because we have been to some great waterparks in Mexico. We still had a fun day, spending time with the grandkids and watching them have a fun time.

  2. I think 'Funnest' is not a word but funniest is superlative adjective for funny. Maybe use 'the most fun' to compare which ride was the most fun :-) I'd like to know myself.

    1. "Funnest" is considered a superlative adjective and has been used as a word in the last century or so but technically you are correct and it should be "the most fun", at least this is what I could find online about it. Obviously Kevin isn't the only one wondering if it is indeed a real word, as this question is asked often online too!
