For my son's 12th birthday party, we rented a cabana for the 3 hour deluxe Aqua Park party package…read more I loved that all we had to bring were the people. The package included food, snacks, and drinks, and they let us store our ice cream cake in the freezer. This obstacle course is SO MUCH FUN. Everyone was laughing and screaming. We felt like Dude Perfect! When we got tired, there were so many options to recharge: giant chess or cornhole, watching the wakeboarders, or just sunning on the turf beside our cabana. I noticed a lot of the negative reviews are about the water quality. This is not a pool, so the water is not clear; it has vegetation; and stocked fish control for mosquitoes. Since we already read about this online, we were neither surprised nor grossed out. It was a fun day outdoors! The office staff were super warm, hospitable, and accommodating. Even as we added to our food order last minute (because I saw how active the kids were being... they were ravenous!), they flexed with our request. The pizza was hot; the fruit was refreshing. We felt so well cared for! Safety-wise, I'm glad we brought older kids, mostly very strong swimmers, and vigilant parents. The course is large, and there are spots that are invisible from the lifeguards' posts. We had to initiate with the lifeguards a few times because they weren't giving us any information/direction. (eg: Can we start? Where do we start? Any rules we need to know? Are you still on break, or can we go in again?) They did not seem to have a system for the lifejackets. They were sleepy and eager to clock out. This is the first open weekend of the season; I trust they will establish consistent group protocols as the summer goes on. We had a great time and mostly guarded our own kids. We are eager to return again someday soon! THANK YOU for such a memorable, creative, raucous birthday party in the sun!

This place is really fun, but they need to get the algae under control. The inflatable park is in a…read morepond of water that is completely full of algae. I really don't think it is a safe level of algae for children since they are definitely going to get the water in their mouths. If they cleaned up the algae it would be a fun place but as it stands I don't feel the amount of algae in the water is safe for kids, The restaurant also only had one employee, who was the bartender, waitress, cashier and everything else, so as you can imagine it was very slow.

Very clean and although it's crowded, it doesn't feel overwhelming at all. The only downside for me…read moreis that outside food and drinks aren't allowed. But thankfully, there's a nice little cafeteria with affordable prices, okay for lunch or snacks. We'll definitely be back tomorrow! It's a great spot both for families with kids and for adults without children. There are slides, inflatable toys, and even an Olympic-size pool. There are plenty of lifeguards around, and one big plus for me: they play music! It really lifts the mood. We loved it!

I think if I would've closed the loop entirely it would have been a mile. Weave through the center of the park and around the outer perimeter. Lots of good shade too and plenty of parking. Has a playground in the middle for little ones too. (Walk across Bruceville for pan dulce or Filipino bakery or fro yo - bonus!)

I love this place and so do my kids. I do wish that they had more shaded seating for families…read morebecause this place gets packed and there is no where to sit. Maybe suggesting benches along the sides or in the lawn. The kids activity pool is always getting shut down and it sucks because these babies are making #2 accidents OFTEN. This isn't the facilities fault, but really parents should allow kids time in between to go potty to prevent the constant closure of the activity pool (if they can).

My daughter took some summer swim lessons here last year and we had a bad experience. I thought she…read morewas safe being that there are so many lifeguards on duty but I was wrong. I never take my eyes off my kids in the water no matter who is teaching them and I'm thankful! My daughter was practicing her little kicks while holding on to the wall but at one point she let go and was too far from the wall to get back to it. I waited to see that her teacher would notice but they didn't. The lifeguard was right in front of her and they didn't notice that she was going under and couldn't come back up. She was a beginner, unable to reach the bottom and the class was a group class for reference. I stood up and ran to my daughter to help her get back to the wall and the life guard shouted, "No running." I looked at him and said, "Then do your job!" I was livid. Nobody apologized for their negligence. Some lifeguards seem to just be there, not to keep the kids safe. I wouldn't recommend the classes at all. I didn't want this experience to hinder her desire to learn so I talked it over and she decided to face her fear after knowing I would ALWAYS be watching and keeping her safe. We finished the week and then went to an actual swim school for lessons and she's thriving. The fun part of this complex is definitely the kids water playground and the slides. I'd recommend this over the swim classes any day.

Have lifeguards that care about their jobs...guarding lives. Kids were jumping into the big pool…read moreonto each other and near the cement corner several times, over and over. Brought it to a lifeguard's attention, they literally said "that is his area". We left after this comment. There appeared to be actual feces in the kiddie pool area. Not a just a little. The lifeguards at the diving boards did not ensure that yellow bands were on little kids' wrists. My nephew went over there and was obviously not 12. Nothing done. I took him away and put him where he belonged. I had three kids with me all different ages and heights. Lifeguards need to be lifeguards and not be checking out other teenagers and playing games amongst themselves. It was very obvious. Sad really. Won't be back.

Seems like everyone is following the rules and having so much fun! They will allow you to bring your own food, tables, and chairs in! They have a snack bar that seems to have something for everyone with great prices! The price to get in is so affordable at eight dollars per child. It's the cheapest fun you can have! If you're a parent/caregiver and you want to swim, it will cost you the same but if you just want to go in it, it's five dollars to enter. We typically stay the full rec time that is 3 1/2 hours. We absolutely love it. The splash pad for the younger kids is really awesome with a waterslide that's perfect for youngsters! That waterslide is so much fun and these little ones have a blast! I highly recommend!

We've been regulars at Gauche Aquatic Park for years, and it's a solid local spot, though there are…read morea few important things to know before you go. The Positives: The lifeguards here take their jobs very seriously. They actively monitor the pools to ensure kids aren't playing too rough. For safety reasons, they don't allow parents to ride down the yellow slide with toddlers--there isn't a sign posted about this, but we were completely fine following the rule to set a good example for the kids. The Layout & Safety: One design quirk to watch out for if you have toddlers is that the 2-foot kiddie area connects directly to the 4-foot pool without a barrier. It can be a bit risky for non-swimmers who might accidentally wander into the deeper water, so expect to be right in the pool with your little ones the whole time. Crowds & Amenities: Weekends get incredibly packed, to the point where it's hard for kids to swim without bumping into others. Seating and shade are very limited, which is why a massive line forms before opening. You essentially have to sprint inside to claim a spot; otherwise, you're stuck standing in the sun. Also, note that the big slide isn't guaranteed to be running. It was closed during our recent weekend visit. Timing & Cost: They currently run two separate sessions (12:00 PM-2:30 PM and 3:30 PM-6:00 PM). At $12 per person ($48 for our family of four), it honestly feels a bit pricey for just two and a half hours of swim time. Overall, it's a fun park, but you definitely want to arrive early and stay vigilant with younger kids.

Crazy how it is $12 per person now and yet you guys can't even hire someone that is tech savvy to update your info.
