Adventure Waterpark Desaru Coast
A waterpark is truly a must for a festival! Set against the charming backdrop of a traditional Malaysian fishing village, dive into a splashing morning at the waterpark, home to the region's first-ever water coaster and one of the world’s largest wave pools.
With over 20 wet and dry rides, slides, and attractions, it's the ultimate destination for families to beat the heat and make the most of their day!
Storytelling SG
In the afternoon, children aged 5 and above can embark on a magical journey filled with enchantment and adventure. Through the art of storytelling, inspired by local folklore, these captivating tales will whisk young listeners away to a world of mystical feats and heroic adventures.
Silent Disco Asia
It’s not just for the adults—at the Ombak Festival, kids can dance the evening away to tunes specially curated by guest DJs. With personal headsets, they can choose from three different music channels, each offering a unique and unforgettable musical experience.
Stars Wars-inspired Wayang Kulit
Grab a bite at Sliders & Sizzlers with the kids before heading down to the Sessions Stage at Hard Rock Hotel to catch your favourite Star Wars characters come to life as shadow puppets (wayang kulit) in an epic intergalactic saga.
