    Came here for the first time this past Monday and will definitely be going back. This place is a…read morehidden gym. It is a great place to bring your family. The kids enjoyed themselves and didn't want to leave. We came on a Monday so the parking wasn't bad and the Park was not crowded at all. Only downfall it was a super hot but we enjoyed ourselves. They have a concession stand that sells food or you can bring your own picnic set up. They have Avalon that you can rent or you can bring your own tent and utilize the picnic tables. The bathrooms are fairly clean, but of course there was no air circulating. I do wish they had some type of fountain where you could get filtered water from for free. Definitely on my to do list for next summer!

    Not sure why we have never visited here before but now we have found this amazing place we will…read moredefinitely visit more often. The 30 minute drive was not bad from my house. We decided to visit on a Monday with the hopes of a small crowd. Well it was not packed but definitely not a small crowd. You can pay $20 for parking inside or free parking outside. We decided to go with free parking and it was just fine! The ticket booth was a little crowded when we arrived right after opening. The line did move fast. The price was as expected for a water park at $35 for adults and older kids and $28 for under 2 and elderly. The park is open from 10am until 6pm and we spent most of the day here. The park has several picnic tables available. We decided to bring a tent to cover it. Best idea we could have thought of! They offer some paid cover sitting areas but they were booked. Our set up was perfect... just should have bought more snacks/beverages. The park has a wonderful kids area! It has a setup with the dump bucket and kids play area. The large pool area is my favorite part. The water was the perfect temp and felt clean. I stayed here most of the day. They have a few water slides near the top of the park. It had good selections for older kids. My kids loved this part! We did visit the concessions and the food was good! We spent about $13 on each meal. Next time I will bring food to save. They have a decent restroom area that was clean and comfortable. So will all of that being said... we LOVED this experience! 10 out of 10! Well done Spring Valley!

    We're new to Birmingham and have been exploring different places around the city. One experience I…read morecan truly recommend is Glow Wild at the Birmingham Zoo. If you want to immerse yourself in a fantasy world, this is a wonderful place to enjoy with your kids. We had a great time, and it's also a great way to support a fundraiser that helps care for the animals. We tried the train ride, and even though the line was long, it moved very quickly and we were able to enjoy it. We didn't have the opportunity to try the food, but we did notice plenty of sweets and drinks available. The bathrooms were decently clean.

    I've been a member here for two years and have overall enjoyed the experience. Are half the…read moreexhibits empty most days? Yeah. Is the splash pad literally disintegrating? Yep. But the elephants and the monkeys are my kids favorites so we renewed our membership. We always bring snacks and spend our entire morning there, stopping to munch on the grass or at the splash pad. That is, until today. Checking in as normal and the guy insists on searching my cooler bag. First time in two years the cooler bag has even been acknowledged but ok? I'm then told because have shredded chicken for my kids as a snack it's not allowed in. I have to take everything back to my car or I'm not allowed entry. But don't you worry, if I had potato chips or any other unhealthy bagged snacks then that's totally fine to bring in!! If I want to pay for my yearly membership and then go eat in the parking lot I'm totally welcome to do that. How generous! Unfortunately last time I checked I can go eat at just about any park for FREE, I don't pay for a membership to eat in the parking lot. My children have bad allergies so I bring our food pretty much everywhere and I thought the zoo was a safe place but apparently not. We finished our visit (early of course because ya know my kids were hungry and we had to rush through everything so I could trek them back through the parking lot to our exclusive dining spot to eat our contraband chicken) and as I'm walking out the door what do I see?? A man rolling an honest to God IGLOO COOLER. ROLLING IT. Full of seed oil fried Cheese Puffs I'm sure!! So idk if the gate keepers were just on a power trip today and felt like they wanted to discriminate against children with allergies or what, but I'll definitely be considering this experience when/if I renew next year. If you're considering a membership for your children, the McWane has never one time given me an ounce of issue about bringing food in, just saying.
