What is Water World Bulawayo?
Water World Bulawayo is a compact, family-oriented water park in the suburb of Montrose. It has three pools, including a 0.7-metre kiddies pool with two small slides, a 1.2-metre round pool, and a main pool with two larger slides. There are seven jumping castles (not always all inflated), a games room with pool table, mini soccer, air hockey, and arcade games, plus a snake park on site. The park is an alcohol-free zone, making it suitable for the whole family. It closes during Zimbabwe’s winter months.
