The Pedas Wet World is open daily (except Tuesdays) whereby weekdays are open from 1pm – 7pm and for weekends/public holidays open 3 hours earlier than weekdays. At most times, folks who plans to shoot out to the resort on ad-hoc basis will tend to forget certain important items (ie: towel, swimming suit, goggles, etc).

Generally the resort has almost everything that any other water theme park has got to offer, not forgetting the additional hot water spa. There are water glides, swimming pool for adults and as well as pool for children. A mini hot water pool is also available just next to the children’s pool. This pool has pebbles embedded to its floor which is intended to act as foot reflexology tool. There are sliders and floats for rent for those who wish to get the thrilling ride on the water glides. For individuals who prefer to get the “less adventure” ride, you can always get onto the float and float around the canal around the Wet World.

Some of them that can be improved with the hot spring are joint pains, arthritis, muscle pain, and several skin related problems. For those who are interested to know the mineral contents, there is a board with proper explanation on the spa contents. You may choose to just soak your feet in the hot pool or even dip your whole body in the pool. However you are not encouraged to stay on long in the pool with your whole body in it as you may end up having red patches on your body (due to the heat generated by the hot springs). A simple ‘body dip’ of 10 mins and ‘feet soaking’ of 20 mins will do good.
