Magic Mountain, Merimbula, Amusement park in Merimbula, Australia
Magic Mountain is an amusement park in Merimbula, a coastal town on the Sapphire Coast of New South Wales, Australia, offering rides and water attractions for all ages. The park sits on hilly ground overlooking the ocean, with different attractions spread across several levels connected by paths and stairs.
The park opened in 1983 as a family-oriented destination tied to the growing coastal tourism of Merimbula. In the years following the opening, new attractions were added gradually, including a large slide installed shortly after the park launched.
Magic Mountain sits close to the water in Merimbula and draws families from across the region during the summer holidays. For many children growing up in New South Wales, a visit here is a regular part of the summer holiday routine.
The park is at its busiest during school holidays and summer weekends, so a weekday visit outside of peak season tends to be much more relaxed. Comfortable footwear is worth wearing, as the sloped terrain means a fair amount of walking between the different areas.
The park's position on the hillside offers open views over Merimbula Bay from several spots within the grounds, which is unusual for an amusement park. These views are most noticeable from the upper levels of the site, where you can see the water while waiting between rides.
