Shark Tank Waterslide at the Golden Nugget

It sounds scary when you talk about sliding down a waterslide through a shark tank but in all actuality it is really safe and really fun. Your children will be talking about this experience for years to come, as long as they are brave enough to slide. It’s called the Shark Chute and is three storey tall and whips riders right through the middle of the tank. But all who want to try this are simply not brave enough and luckily there is another option. You can actually swim alongside these creatures, thankfully behind a very thick sheet of glass. The pool is often full of adults and kids who love to watch these majestic creatures slide through the water. What is even more interesting than both of these though is the behind the scenes tour you can take with one of the expert marine biologists. They will take you where the public is not often invited, back to the world where they feed the sharks, monitor them and keep everything in working order. Best designed for older children the tour teaches you about sharks and often debunks many myths we may have about these creatures. And don’t worry if you aren’t staying at this hotel, tickets for the pool and slide can be purchased at the hotel’s box office as well as behind the scenes tour tickets.
