    Considering the price was free it's hard to beat. I found very little information about these guys…read morefrom their Facebook "webpage" or Google listing. No one picked up the phone the few times I tried them and I wasn't even 100% sure they were still in operation. They ARE OPEN and it's a pretty cool place! Browns Mill, like all of the summer water facilities around Atlanta it seems, is run 100% by teenagers. There are advantages (cheap labor) and disadvantages to this (lack of professionalism, lack of consistency on policy; such as letting us in for free after first saying there was no entry at 6:00 when it closes at 7 and then actually closing at 6:45), and general chaos on a busy summer day. Lots of teens running around may or may not be a problem depending on who you are. Why are kids always vomiting in pools? I've seen this at four different facilities this summer and it happened not once, but twice at this pool yesterday. Just lean over and do it in the grass. I suppose it's not fair to evaluate to how often kids are (or are not) vomiting at an aquatic facility but it did mean we didn't get to try some of the main features of this park. It would have been nice if they also put up a sign about not using this sections as we arrived after the first vomiting incident and we only knew not to go in because others were avoiding it but didn't see any visible grossness. My two little ones liked the small lazy river and layout of the place. The pool looked fun but you have to pass a swim test to go to the deep end and this test changed depending on which life guard you asked. Even going in with your kids they just aren't allowed there. They also have a small kiddie pool section and a splash pad section. The two big slides looked fun as well as the kid's water playground. I would make this trip again and even at $7 (advertised local dekalb county residents price) I think it'd be worth the cool down on a hot summer's day.

    Admission of $12 but no wristband to allow re-entry. I checked Amazon---it cost $12 for a roll of…read more100 wrist bands. Then one of the employees was very rude--this may have been typical for the environment. Seems to be teenagers operating the day to day. I wasn't aware there was good until leaving. After the rude worker I was glad that o only paid for admission! It's mediocre. But okay for a quick soothing kiddie outing. Note to Owner/Operator/Staff: Customer service is still key and foundational!!!!!

It has a good mix of attractions including multi-level go-kart tracks (one of the main highlights), roller coasters, thrill rides like drop towers and spinning rides, bumper cars, kiddie rides, and arcade-style games. The go-karts are definitely the standout and what the park is best known for. Pricing is much more budget-friendly than big parks. Most visitors can expect either free admission with pay-per-ride options or wristbands that typically range around $50-$80 per person depending on location, day, and promotions. This makes it a cheaper alternative if you want rides without spending theme park-level money. Food and drinks inside are on the higher side, but still fairly standard for an amusement park. Wait times are generally shorter than major parks. On average, most rides are about 5-20 minutes, even during busier times. The most popular attractions like go-karts or certain thrill rides can reach 20-40 minutes during peak hours, but lines still move fairly consistently compared to larger parks where waits can be much longer. Staff were friendly and kept things moving efficiently at ride entrances, and the park overall felt easy to navigate. Parking was also simple and convenient depending on the location. Overall, Fun Spot is a good option if you want a casual amusement park experience with fun rides, shorter wait times, and more affordable pricing without the intensity of bigger theme parks.

This company fails on many aspects: illegal pay practices, non-payment of lifeguard and other staff, refusal to certify their lifeguards, never have managers on staff, nobody is held accountable, and the list goes on and on.

The hiring process was chaotic each time, with training requirements constantly changing depending on who he spoke with. He dealt with numerous employees each summer, and despite completing all requirements, his paycheck was withheld due to claims that he hadn't. It took over a month of persistent calls to get his certification properly uploaded. At the start of the 2024 season, the pool was at risk of not opening due to lifeguard certification issues. Shockingly, the company suggested forging certifications--an alarming practice, especially considering these certifications involve life-saving responsibilities. The clock-in/out app was unreliable, making it impossible to accurately track hours worked. Furthermore, USA Mgmt failed to update their insurance documentation, leading to the contract holder withholding payment, which caused the pool to close for several days. Instead of taking responsibility, USA Mgmt blamed the contract holder for non-payment, while the lifeguards, including my son, went nearly a month without pay. My son's last day of work was 7/27/24, and as of 9/4/24, he still hasn't received 2 paychecks. After repeated calls and follow-ups with a manager named Morris, I eventually sent a certified letter to their accounting dept. I was told 2.5 weeks ago that his checks were sent. When I asked when, I was not given a date and Morris blamed the USPS for checks taking a month or longer to be delivered. I was told again today they were sent and I asked when. He said today and did not have an explanation why he previously told me they were sent. This company's failure to pay minors on time, coupled with their illegal practices and indifferent attitude, is unacceptable. My son isn't the only one facing these issues--his fellow lifeguards have experienced similar frustrations. I am disgusted by their behavior and will be filing a formal complaint with the government to ensure these issues are addressed.

The new facility is sparkling and definitely worth visiting if you haven't seen it yet and becoming a member if you swim work out regularly. We paid about $250 for the family to join for the year and the bonus is that it gives the whole family access to all Atlanta public pools. The building is very open, bright (lots of natural light come in through the glass), and beautifully built. While ATL isn't the Northeast, winter is still somewhat more of a period of hibernation for a lot of people and the opening of this center provides a very nice public option for continuing to be active. It seems like they offer a wide variety of classes and activities for kids. While I can't speak to the basketball gym, workout facilities, and indoor running track on the second floor, the pool is great. It's helped our toddler develop an appreciation for the water and we haven't even tried their infant swim program yet. Some highlights of the pool are that the water is very warm, they have a beach front walk-in, a separate family changing room, a variety of aquatic toys for kids to enjoy, and a few fun sprinkler type poles in the pool. For parents looking to entertain their kids this could be a great drop-in option too at just $5 a visit I believe. My only complaints are 1) We've waited months to get our membership cards and the machine that prints them is always down or unavailable for some reason. This is obviously not such a big deal but 2) As this "undiscovered" gem is no longer so undiscovered, we've seen more and more swimmers come to the pool and it can be difficult to find a free lane to swim in now (especially around peak hours weeknights after work). This may just be what happens as you become a victim of your own success. The pool is huge but it's unfortunate that the way they built it the lanes cannot be expanded or added easily because the free swim section has a giant physical barrier from the lanes part.

    Great pool! A bit crowded. I don't care for lane sharing; that's why the 4 stars. Clean locker…read moreroom. Workout equipment upstairs.
