Had a slightly traumatic experience today. My 7 year old got stuck (for 5 to 10 minutes) in the big slide which is pitch dark all the way through (fun but not when you get stuck) and he wasn't helped promptly. Full story - I was up there at the slide entrance and i could hear him screaming that he needs help. There was a staff up there (looked like a teenage kid) who had a walkie talkie. I assumed he would have informed the people in charge as soon as he got stuck. I kept talking to my son to lie down and try to push himself down and he kept responding saying he's trying everything but is still stuck and it is getting very uncomfortable. After a while I checked with the staff whether someone is coming to help. And then I see him telling on the walkie talkie "the boy is stuck on the slide can someone help?". I was shocked. It must have been a good 5 minutes (no watch, just guessing) and he just thought of informing?! By the time someone could come, my son finally managed to push himself down. I told the guy "you should have informed quicker" and his response was "talk to my manager". I thought "ok no use talking to the teenage kid he probably wasn't trained how to react in these situations". I went to the manager and told her "please train your staff to inform quicker" her response "he probably was sitting down, we cannot do anything about this" i go "No he was lying down this time.. first time he was sitting, but this time he was lying" she repeats "he probably was sitting; we don't promise how long it takes to slide; you eventually get down and that's what matters". Is this an empathetic response? I mean i get you have to stick to boiler plate legal language at times, but im not trying to sue anyone here. Im just looking for "i understand that must have felt scary, ill talk to my staff on acting quicker". I felt like I was talking to a robot both with the teenage staff and with the manager. Anyway, my husband intervened and helped the communication and both the manager and the teenage staff eventually apologized and i really appreciated it. Takeaway - If you're not staying in Holiday Inn, NorthShore Aquatic Center might be as fun for a fraction of the cost If you're staying in Holiday Inn, avoid the blue slide or go shirtless (another staff pointed out that might have helped) I see other reviews as well about untrained and disengaged teenage staff. Should have read before I visited!

Watching the performers was delightful. Even with the air lines under the water it was amazing to watch. Just being able to keep your eyes open underwater was astounding to me. We even got an extra performance for the Memorial Day holiday with a tribute to our service members. After the show they had a mermaid photo op that was donation based. After the show, I explored the rest of the park. It isn't that large but was a nice area and worth the $13 to get in. They have an area for swimming in part of the springs. I didn't bring my swimsuit but there were many people swimming and having a good time. There are some water slides too. They have a great gift shop. Loved having the opportunity to visit and see an iconic spot for mermaid lovers!

Located in Wimauma,Florida this metro lagoon is a perk for the residents whom live here but can also be accessed by the general public. My daughter and I visited a few years ago and after visiting the metro lagoon in Wesley Chappell , we like this much more. Today we rode our golf cart over to lagoon and enjoyed swimming, kayaking and the obstacle course . We ordered wings and fries and Kona ice from the food trucks and I opened a tab and the bar. the bar tender assisted me with putting the app on my phone as residents get 20% off the services. Please note for entrance : there is a bag check and no Stanley's, tumblers, outside food or drinks are permitted. You can purchase tickets as a non resident at the ticket counter and purchase extra services to kayak, paddle board and utilize the obstacle course. There is a small children area where the water is barely a 1-2ft deep and a little splash pad area . Plenty of lounge chairs throughout and you can also rent covered umbrellas and cabanas. There are food trucks and a huge bar including a swim up bar , private cabana and pool area but be aware there are no lockers here to place items while you are in the water. Bathrooms are clean as well. I am so excited that we will be able to enjoy the summers and some weekend getaways here now for years to come. Check out their website for additional information and go have some fun in the sun !

The one food truck that was open had great burgers and fries and hot dogs. My complaint and the reason for my less than stellar review is because they were severely understaffed. I understand it's a weird time after season and not quite summer but they didn't have enough staff to open the ice cream truck, or run multiple rides. While there is a posted schedule saying that they will alternate obstacle cores with kayaks and the bumper boats, after we waited in line for the bumper boats the attendant only ran four people and then said, "I only have four working boats so I'm just going to shut this down". Unfortunately the group of five kids I was with was next and they were still 15 plus people after us. Literally the only complaint is the staffing. The cotton candy machine was down, the ice cream truck never opened, and the attraction rotation didn't follow the schedule and that's the reason why it's only a two out of five star for me. It just made it extra difficult to entertain kids when so much of the stuff to entertain them was not accessible.

The new Solar Vortex Raft Water Slide at Adventure Island Water Park is America's first…read moredual-tailspin water slides and one of my favorite slides at Adventure Island! The Solar Vortex Water Slide is a high-thrill family friendly raft slide which combines high-banking rotations and rapid descents, sending sliders on a swirling journey through 2 open tailspin features. The swirly "tailspin" is like a broad funnel shooting you out into a tunnel. It's a pretty high drop so it really increases your speed. The high speed generated by the tailspin feature really amps up the ride. Lean back on the circular raft so it picks up more speed on the exit as you switch through the tailspin. My favorite feature of Solar Vortex is the 3 dynamic AquaLucent elements which harness the power of the Florida sun into colorful patterns that shine through the slide. Riders can reach speeds of up to 20 miles per hour which is pretty fast but not the fastest slide at the park. This slide is not super scary but more trippy and relaxing with a couple drops and twists sprinkled in. Riders must only be at least 42 inches tall, which makes it the first big water slide thrill ride for little kids. Most kids 5 or older are over 42 inches tall. Visitors can ride in the raft in parties of two or four. If you're at Adventure Island or looking for a fun day at the Waterpark, definitely check out the new Solar Vortex Water Slide at Adventure Island!

I've lived here for 7 years and have watched this community evolve--unfortunately, not always for…read morethe better. While there have been some positives, the overall direction, especially in recent years, has been disappointing. The biggest issue is a clear decline in customer experience. The Metro Development Group management team seems to have lost sight of what made this place successful in the first place: its residents. The very people who built the Lagoon's reputation are now being treated like an afterthought. One example is the entry process. Residents used to have a dedicated entry and bag check, which made sense and showed value for membership. That has slowly been phased out, leaving members stuck in long general admission lines. For a paid membership experience, that's simply unacceptable. Even more frustrating is the constant rollout of new systems that feel unfinished. Instead of leveraging existing member data, residents are repeatedly forced to re-register as if they're brand new. This creates unnecessary confusion--for both members and staff--and leads to avoidable issues. This past weekend, I watched a longtime "legacy member" family of five get told only the father existed in the system. The rest of the family had been removed and would need to enter as guests. That's not just inconvenient--it's embarrassing and unacceptable for a venue of this caliber. I had a similar experience myself. I used my membership card to check in and purchase a drink with no issue. Less than an hour later, the same card suddenly "didn't exist" in the system. I was forced to go through the entire setup process again. There's clearly a lack of consistency and reliability in their system. At this point, it feels like this location is being used as a testing ground for new processes rather than being properly managed. If that's the case, there's little evidence that feedback is being implemented or that improvements are being made for this community. Metro needs leadership with real hospitality experience--someone who understands how to run a high-quality, member-focused venue and deliver a consistent experience. If management is reading this: please remember what made this Lagoon successful. Invest in your residents, fix the systems, and bring back the level of service this community deserves. This was the first Lagoon in the U.S.--it should be one of the best, not one of the most frustrating.

We started at the lazy river, then went to the giant play structure, then to the wave pool. Somewhere in the middle of it, my wife -- being more adventurous than I -- took our oldest on the super tall water slide. Not my thing, but if it's yours, have at it. Why am I withholding a fifth star? First, the cost for lockers is ludicrous; $16 for the smallest unit, IIRC. Second, a number of the water slides on the play structure were shut down, likely due to insufficient staff. Kind of frustrating for my middle child, who isn't big enough for the giant slides, to see so many of the smaller ones closed. But, he still had a great time. Overall, I recommend the water park, especially if you can find a BOGO deal.

It was fun to try it and it's definitely a nice change from the park on a hot day. My son loved some of the crazy slides. There is a lazy river and lots of Lego water stations the kids can play with. That being said, there are a few downsides: the location is not ideal. It's all the way at the end of the park so you have to walk through Legoland and back when you go. What makes this even more tedious is that there are no towels provided so you have to get all that stuff yourself through the park. The chairs were a bit run down. Only one food booth with limited options and they weren't accommodating at all when I accidentally ordered the wrong fountain drink. I doubt I will come back. The hotel pool is more fun.
