Water and Music Features
Thunder Junction also features a splash pad area, where water drips from dinosaur fossil replicas and cascades over red rocks. This area provides a refreshing spot for children to cool off during hot days.
The park includes a dedicated music area with instruments like bells, xylophones, and drums, allowing visitors to create melodies and rhythms. There's also a climbing wall for those seeking a more challenging physical activity.
