This place is great! We took our 3 year old with plenty to do. There are multiple splash pads and…read morelow level water ideas. The wave pool was a major hit. It is kept clean for how many people there are. Big parking lot. Lots of chairs and shaded areas. No outside food or drink except water, but There is a food stand. There is a lactation room as well which is really beneficial. You do have the pay for parking which is $7. They are also cashless.

We came back this season and had a better experience than the last. One of the slides was closed,…read morebut overall, the lines went very fast and we found chairs to use easily. Typical water park experience for fun. The lazy river got a little too crowded to enjoy at times due to those that walk and push their way through. Had a better experience with food service this time, though still pretty inefficient. We ordered pizzas and was told it would be 30-40 min for 3 pizzas. We received a buzzer and went back for it when it was ready. As I picked it up, there was another woman there complaining about hers not being done all the way and was going to have to wait another 20-30 min for a new one. I was happy to see all 3 of our pizzas were cooked and enjoyed by all. Also had food from the other concessions, the GF bun was fresher this time around and had to wait 25 min for a veggie burger that I had to keep running back to check on until I asked if the could hollar out the side window when it was done. A nice woman delivered it to me but only after my fries blew away in the wind one of the times I got up to check on my burger. Overpriced food aside with "meh" service, it was a great day we all enjoyed. We came back a second day with some relatives another day and it was less crowded on a Tuesday. We would visit again. Not too crazy at $20 to get in compared to other places.

They feature great changing rooms a massive swim pool and littles pool and water adventure. Low and high dive add entertainment as there are regulars (even some in speedos) a zip line over water, water slide and a bonus wave pool that costs additional money. We bought passes ahead and our kids love it.

On the plus side, it is pretty big, so you can spread out, but that is also a bit scary as there can be a lot of kids in the water and you really work to stay on top of your kids to make sure they are safe and/or playing nice with others. They have some big waterpark-type slides but those were closed for some reason. The staff were really nice and gave us advice as to the best times to come to beat the crowds, etc. There is also free parking, but it is somewhat limited, so best to plan your visit accordingly.

They are open on holidays when some community pools are closed. The locker rooms and showers are pretty good, but no private changing areas at all. The waterslide is THE BOMB. A+++ for that waterslide. A good little kids area, fun climbing floating things, the lily pad ropes course is a hit. But. Cold water = we only stay about 60-90 minutes. Which honestly is enough. And also, my big kids dont care. The littlest one and the adults get cold. We've only gone during winter, so maybe its not as much of an issue during warmer months. The lockers take quarters only, no change machine on site, but the teens running the concession stand will probably make change.

Now that we have teenagers, we just come for a fun time once in a great while. My favorite part is the lazy river. I could spend hours relaxing f there and it has this super fun tube slide too. For the toddlers, there's a zero depth entry part of the pool, with a cute mini slide and splash pad. For the grade school kids, there's slides are always a hit. For our tweens, they loved the deeper part of the pool with the super fast slides. And of course we all love the lazy river. The season passes also include unlimited mini golf on their super cute 9 hole course that includes a fabulous waterfall. I even love that they have mandatory safety breaks at the top of each hour to ensure the lifeguards get a break and gives our kids a chance to reapply sunscreen.

Fun for the kids, sure. lazy river, lots of fun slides. The 2 HUGE drawbacks for the grown ups were…read more1- They blast bad pop and "classic" rock music, pretty sure they do it on purpose to annoy people enough to want to leave sooner than they normally would. 2 - The food. 3 of us chose cheeseburgers and they were so dry, salty, and overcooked! Another problem was there wasn't really enough shaded spots. We got there 5 mins after they opened and we were able to find chairs but nothing in the shade. I suppose if you line up to get in before they open you could find shaded spots.

The layout seemed a little simple to me, but my kids didn't seem deterred in the least. They rode the water slides, played in the splash pad, and jumped off the diving board - and liked it all.
