Our favourite local dessert is Waterside's Freak-shake (over 1 L of donuts, ice cream, biscuits and more!). We actually aren't fond of their other food, so often pack a picnic lunch for the park and head there for dessert!

Lap and hot pool swimming - cheaper entry than other options. Pools are warm but chlorinated so great option for families with kids (safe to put heads under water). Pool and water slide hours fluctuate - best to check the website or ring for current information.
