Day of Registration for swim classes was a mess but we had a great experience when my 4 year old started his sessions. The instructors and everyone working there are amazing. Place is clean and well organized. Highly recommend for swimming lessons! read more

I have lived in town for 6 years this is our first time coming, so initially the kids water section was a big plus. Well we got there and the photos with explain the rest. Still love it local , little expensive for a community pool ( I'm 27 and would pay .50¢ back then, I sound like I'm 60s ). Anyway I would recommend to locals. read more

Why is it closed? The weather is beautiful. Will it open again next year? The location is very nice and there is nothing like it in the area. read more

Beautiful and well maintained pool! Always a fun time! Big blue slide is fun and the little kids pool has a big playground in the shallow end. read more

Oh man my kids LOVED this place!!! They're very patient. My kids were ok swimmers with floaties and now my oldest doesn't need them. My youngest is very attached to me and I put her in a class meant for her but she didn't want to be apart from me so they switched us to the toddler class with no problem! Definitely going back again this summer. read more

It is a beautiful place for a Lake and hiking. I didn't know that I had to pay for a parking lot. It is supposed to be friendly for kids.

Such a neat place to experience...fun to walk around and check out all the walking trails...the pools are fun for the kids during summer break... definitely worth checking out! read more

Terrible trying to get private swim instruction. We signed up and had to wait for a phone call. They only let us schedule one, and then after we can schedule another. I voiced concern about not being able to schedule more. We have a special needs child that needs 1:1 private. I was told it would not be a problem. Had first lesson with an impatient instructor, after I tried to schedule more and was told the next opening was on a Sunday five weeks later. they lied about being able to schedule weekly lessons. Not disability friendly. read more

It's a beautiful lake. Very calm and relaxing . Did not even know a lake was 3 miles from my home. I would like and go back for fishing.

I dislike the fact they're only open from 12:30-4:30. Their opening day was May 24th. Here in Hemet it gets very hot earlier in the year. Their "No" list is outrageous for what is not allowed. They also have breaks where people are required to get out of the pool. Is this because they are minimal staff and they require breaks? For the price I paid for 6 individuals to only be here for a few hours is not worth it. read more

Really great experience for the kids can't wait for the reopening 2025 for the tots area

Hidden gem by the museum. just snacks and drinks for concession. does the job of getting kids nice and tired and cool especially in this weather read more

Nice big pool, kids area was nice, I like the beach-like area of the kids pool. My boys had a blast. Although: Not enough shade, and the fake grass burns your feet!!. read more

We went to the super bloom flower walk near the lake. It was awesome. We Musta took 100 pictures. So many wildflowers. we had to wait in line of cars for almost an hour to get in, but I think it was worth it overall because of the beauty that God made there for us to enjoy read more

This place is so much fun! We have attended open family swim day twice so far and it's so worth it! $7 for three people and $2 per extra person. The kids all had a blast, the littles on the shallow play side and the bigs on the deep end and water slide. It's gated and secured by workers, so I felt completely comfortable letting the kids go off and do their thing while I watched from the shaded umbrella table. They have reclining lawn chairs in the astro turfed areas to lay out and get some sun. It doesn't get very crowded so there isn't a bunch of kids going wild, which is really nice. Plus they have lifeguards lining the area and are strict about keeping everything under control. They also have outside showers for your convenience. Truly a hidden gem, can't wait to play again next summer and see what else they have to offer! read more

This was so fun! I recommend kiddy area for the little ones, affordable snacks, FOR SURE RECOMMEND!

The staff is really great, and the lifeguards are very well trained. I am also impressed with the low cost to get in.

We came on a Saturday from 9:45-11:45 designated for people with special needs and their families. The price was $8 for a family of 3 and $2 for an additional person. For us, it cost us $10, awesome price. They do bag checking so no food or drinks allowed except water. I'm not sure if they have a snack bar available especially when they had the no food no drinks rule. It was a decent size pool, but there was one area divided by buoy was for private lessons I believe. The water playground was the perfect size. It was relaxing chilling in ankle deep water under a squirter. The spraying of the water when it hits your body is like a little massage. Anyway, here's where they got a five stars from, the WATER SLIDE (only one). It was a spiral open slide. My autistic son loves it and was asking for more after coming off from the slide. So, my husband and I took turns taking him up there. We can't slide together so we just make sure we slide right after him and the other one of us at the bottom is ready to take him. My first time on the slide I was sitting up but I realized I'm not really balancing well. I felt unstable. So, the next time I went on I lied down. They said lying down is faster and it may be true but I feel more secure. It was so much fun for me and my family especially my autistic son. We will definitely be back when they have the special needs hours. As we were leaving there were many people waiting to go in as it was open to the public at noon. I heard it gets really crowded during regular hours so having those 2 hours for the special needs community was perfect. P.S. you are not allowed to use your goggles while on the slide. Be ready to get dunked and close your eyes. read more

We had a great time. Excellent, friendly staff and a lot of life guards. Little snack bar that was affordable. We rented the shaded area which was $25, they need to put up a reserved sign, there's no way for others to know that you paid for the designated area so so many families setup camp. read more

Very good place to spend with family. it's not like a big water park but it's a decent size. they have a playground for small kids and they have another one with a big slide. very fun I totally recommend it. they don't allow food or snacks only water and also very affordable and also there are a lot of lifeguards all around the pool that are very attentive. read more

This place is a hidden oasis in Hemet!! $6 a person. Very kid friendly with plenty of life guards. The pool is the perfect temperature and everything is affordable. We even rented out the entire Cabana for $30!!! What?!?! Definitely a great place to cool off in the scorching heat of Hemet. read more

I love this place! The people are always nice and it is amazing for the kids. They have a big water slide and water park for the kids.

Affordable and the lifeguards always doing a great job! A great place for the whole family! read more

We came here on a HOT weekday afternoon. Not very busy and well worth the money. It only costs $4 a person but was only open from 2pm - 5pm. They have a small water playground for the little kiddies, the pool is divided for laps and for regular play and they even have a water slide for older kids and adults. There are a lot of tables, chairs and loungers for relaxing. There is food and drinks that you could buy since no outside food or drinks, except for water, are allowed. Would definately come back. read more

Diamond Valley Lake Aquatic Center - Amusement Parks Near Me - Hemet, California

A great place to bring the kids during the heat of summer. Inexpensive and well maintained. Its not too small and not too big so its easy to keep an eye on the kids and they have multiple lifeguards who do a great job keeping things safe and orderly. A few tips to consider: 1. Get there early, they only allow about 400 people in (first come, first served). 2. No outside food allowed (eat before you get there) 3. If you want to use the water slide, don't wear a bathing suit with any metal or rivets in it (they will remove it if you want and it possible). 4. They have a snack bar only (snacks, drinks) no hot dogs, burgers, or other food so eat well before you get there. 5. You have in/out privileges so you can have an ice chest and food in your car. They have a little something for everyone, a water slide, a kiddie area, shallow end, and deep end. The water slide is awesome too! A great 'secret' for the area. read more

I love coming here! It is always a pleasent experience! I was really busy this summer so this is my first time back xD my three year old loves playing on the play set and even if I'm not in the water with him I fully trust these lifeguards! Amazing lifeguards! As a lifeguard I can see when someone may be doing something dangerous... And well, these lifeguards are on it! They aren't to strict to not have fun, but to just help out when it's needed! :) the snacks are at a very fair price! Makes it Alot better because you can NOT bring in outside food! But you can leave to eat then come back.... We bought a bag of chips, 2 bags of cookies, candy and a soda for only $6. The bathrooms are very clean for a public swimming pool! I was very impressed :) the big water slide is Alot of fun! *Remember you need to get your wrist band marked at the front to be able to go down!* I was wearing a two price and some of the slide hurt when laying down... But it wasn't to bad :) *if your going to swim in the deep end you need to pass a swim test! Which is " there and back" first on your stomache (freestyle,doggie paddle,the crawl or breaststroke) then back on your back (backstroke or elementary backstroke). After completing the swim test they will mark your wrist band :) *At 3 everyone will have to get out of the pool for about 15 mins for the lifeguard break! This is a great time to hydrate, get snacks, go to the bathroom or whatever :) if your going to get snacks... Expect a longer line.... Well I think that's about it :) have fun and always walk around the pool! :) read more

Fun place to take the kids. They have a large pool and a big water slide for kids/adults taller than 48 inches, they also have another area connected to the big pool with a splash pad and a couple of slides in a shallow pool for the smaller kids to play. There were lifeguards at every corner and also at the bottom of the water slide. There are tons of tables and chairs and few umbrellas. You can bring your own water in, but not outside food. They do have a snack bar. Monday-Friday 10:00-12:00. Is $6 for a family of four. Then it is back open from 12:30-4:30 and wrist bands are $6 PER person. We did not know the hours prior to going, so when we got there at 11:00, we played for 1 hour and then went out front, had a picnic and then had to re pay to go back in. They do not stamp your hand or let you back in for free. You do have to re pay. Also it is CASH only. We had a blast! We will definitely go back. read more

Love this lil water park. My 2 year old has a blast. Its $8 for the both of us. Get there early for a shaded spot, at least 30 min before opening. Cant bring ice chest but you can bring drinks and snacks in a small soft cooler. Wear water shoes because the ground is hot! I didnt use the restrooms but the park seemed very clean overall. And tons of lifeguards keeping an eye on everyone, they do a great job at making sure kids are playing nicely and safely. I really don't know why this place doesn't have 5 stars. This place is 10x more convenient, cheaper, cleaner, and easy in n out compared to any other water park. Id pick this place over Knott's Soak City any day! Must go! read more

Great place for a little fun in the water. Went on a Saturday with my 5 year old son, we loved it. We got there a few minutes after they opened (noon) and there were plenty of spots available. It did get busy quick, but it wasn't "packed" until about 2ish (Just our experience). We took a small soft cooler/lunchbox with snacks and water. Some things to note: Sign out front says: No other drinks allowed inside area besides water No floaties allowed (said a few other things but these were the only ones that stood out) There are umbrella tables and lawn/sunning loungers for public use at no extra charge Some children were wearing water socks/shoes so I am assuming they were authorized, and a good idea as the pool area flooring was HOT! Give it a try, it was worth it : ) read more

Facility is great but only giving 3 stars because of the food policy. The no food policy is absurd. Bringing little kids to a place like this they are going to need to eat. If you can't bring in food then you should sell food at reasonable prices. You are already charging $8 per person for entry so I'm pretty sure you're making enough $ that people bringing in food won't kill your profitability. Management needs to rethink this policy. I might not be back simply for this reason. read more

Our first time here was about 3 weeks ago and my kids and I LOVED IT!!! $6 for pool and the slide is pretty affordable :) it's clean and plenty of life guards standing at the edge watching over kids. Looking forward to another great experience tomorrow! :) Oh! fyi (only bad thing). they don't allowe any kind of metal on your swim wear if you're gonna go on slide :/ my son had two little metal buttons on the back of his swimming trunks so I had to cut them off or have him wear them inside out so he could slide. read more

Had an amazing time with the family. Very friendly workers i felt that we'll be taken care of. the lifeguards are always on alert it's amazing. Definitely will be coming back! read more

Had a blast with my granddaughter, she played all day on the kids side and had so much fun. We will definitely be back.

Finally checked his place out with my 10 year old daughter. It is a very cool, clean, and fun little place to get away and cool down. My daughter had fun on the slide and diving in the deep end. As did I with my limited capability being 7 months pregnant. I would definitely go again. Only down side is that they DO NOT allow outside food or drink except for water. However, they do sale snacks and drink. This is the reason for my 4 stars over 5. Some people just don't want the unhealthy snacks they sale or they want an actual sandwich especially if they plan on staying from open to close. Oh and I was also able to buy used goggles from them for my daughter. read more

Affordable swim classes with great instructors. My 1 and 2 yr old were in the tots swim class and always had fun. After that, we started private lessons for them. I highly recommend Ben, my daughter loves him. The pool is clean and the lifeguards are very attentive. The kids also love the water slides there. This is a great place to cool off on a hot summer day! read more

VERY VERY CLEAN. Right on the outskirts of Hemet California, and only charging $7 per person, this place is ideal for the whole family to take a dip on on those hot California summers. Since this place is away from the heart of the city, traffic is very minimal which is nice. If you want to ride the big slide, you must get measured by one of the staff since there is a minimum height requirement. If you wish to swim on the deep side, you must take a small swimming test where the lifeguard tests you on swimming from one end to the other, then swim back on your back. It is not hard at all. What is nice about this place, is that eveything is sectioned off. The small kid section is only about 2 feet deep to the point where your small child can sit down and still be fine. The jungle gym is perfect for them as well since water is splashing and squirting everywhere. At 4 pm the park is closed for swimming lessons. Unfortunately I do not have details on that. However; I am sure you can inquire. I highly recommended. Follow me and my adventures ig: @Sin_Aguayo fb: Sin Aguayo read more
