About
Splash Palace in Invercargill is Southland's premier indoor water attraction, offering year-round aquatic fun regardless of the region's notoriously changeable weather. Located on Elles Road, this facility has become a go-to destination for families and visitors seeking relief from the elements while enjoying pools, water slides, and spa facilities. What sets it apart in Southland is its combination of recreational swimming spaces and leisure amenities all under one roof — a genuine asset in a region where outdoor water activities are heavily weather-dependent.
Visitors can expect a well-maintained facility with a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. The complex typically takes 2–4 hours to explore properly, depending on whether you're swimming laps, playing in the shallow areas with kids, or simply unwinding in the warm pools and spa. It suits families with young children particularly well, though adults and couples also appreciate the quieter lane swimming and wellness facilities. The 4.4-star rating from over 800 Google reviews speaks to consistent quality; bring your own towel and arrive early on weekends to secure change room space, as it does get busy during school holidays and wet weather days.
Splash Palace fits naturally into a Southland itinerary as a reliable indoor activity, especially valuable when exploring Invercargill between visits to nearby attractions like Bluff, the Catlins, or Te Anau. Winter months (June–August) see particularly high visitation, making it an ideal rainy-day backup or morning activity before heading to outdoor destinations. For locals and visitors alike, it's the kind of practical, unpretentious facility that reflects Southland's no-fuss character.
