Galaxy Macau, the world-class integrated resort in Macau owned by Galaxy Entertainment, has launched a new aquatic play area designed to appeal to the whole family.

US-based Water Technology created a lazy river along with a host of waterplay products that spray visitors as they float by.

Next to the river, a Vortex Splashpad is the perfect place to play for the hotel's youngest users.

Showcasing water features such as rainbow arches, architectural fountains, spray cannons, ground sprays and a spinning water wheel, the Splashpad provides entertainment for all users.

Officially opened in 2011 at an investment of HK$16.5bn ($2.1bn), Galaxy Macau includes more than 2,200 rooms, suites and villas across three world-class Asian hotels.

Facilities include a selection of more than 50 food and beverage outlets; distinctive retail shopping; lush oasis gardens covering 52,000sq.m; and the world's largest Skytop Wave Pool covering 4,000sq.m and featuring a white sand beach.
