A water park and games centre on Ggaba Road in Kampala with slides, pools, a children's play area and an arcade, open late every day.
What is Planet Water Park?
Planet Water Park and Games sits on Ggaba Road in southern Kampala, close to the lake shore. It combines a water park with slides and pools, a children's area with smaller swings and see-saws, and a gaming zone with paid arcade games.
The park is open from early morning until late at night, which makes it unusual among Kampala pools, and it has changing rooms, restrooms and lifeguards on duty. Weekends are busy and Sundays are packed, so weekdays are better for families with young children.
The park runs lifeguards and pool safety measures, and provides a supervised water play space in a city with few public pools.
💡 Money-saving tips for families
- Weekdays are quieter Sundays are packed
- Bring your own snacks The food court does not suit everyone
- Take advantage of the arcade It is a good break from the sun
