[2025 Heyuan ] Travel Guide for Dinosaur Island Water Park (Updated Jul)

Summer is here, time for outdoor fun! 📨 Stepping into Springwoods Village again feels like entering an artistic wonderland. Designed by world-renowned masters, this town is as picturesque as a work of art 🎨. 🚗 Self-drive from Guangzhou It takes about 2.5 hours via highway to reach Springwoods Village. This time, we stayed at the Blue Grape Hotel 🏨. Perfect for family trips, we booked a 3-bedroom suite—quiet yet cozy for quality family time. After dropping off our luggage 🧳, we headed straight to the park: 💙 Dinosaur Island Water Park Featuring mosaic tile art and vibrant natural colors, the water park is divided into shallow and deep zones. With wave walls, stone cave slides 🛝, cascading waterfalls, and more, there’s endless aquatic fun. The shallow areas are great for toddlers. My little one brought her floaties and water gun—she played all afternoon and didn’t want to leave! 💙 Dragon Bone Playground A full non-powered playground with trampolines, swings, sandpits, slides, rock climbing, loach catching, water play, and even duck feeding. Kids can easily spend half a day here—so much fun! ❤️ 💙 Green Apple Square At night, the lawn hosts bonfire parties, fireworks 🎆, night markets, open-air movies, and live music. Activities vary by season—the butler keeps everyone updated in the group chat. Super thoughtful! 📢 The DJ sets the vibe, and the energy is electric! 💙 Dining The Palm Hotel’s dining street is super convenient. Papa Razzi (Western cuisine) is a solid choice—almost every dish hits the mark. Their cheese flatbread is a must-try! If you’re looking for a hidden gem for family travel, Springwoods Village is worth considering! Springwoods Village
