I wouldn't recommend this aquatic center for birthday parties. The price is over $250, and you only…read moreget 45 minutes in the birthday area before you're rushed out. Yes, pizza and cake are included, and you can stay and swim as long as you'd like, but 45 minutes is just not enough time. Trying to get all the kids to sit down, eat, and do cake in that short window is stressful--especially when all they want to do is get in the pool they can see right in front of them. On the positive side, the lifeguards are very attentive. The moment a whistle blows, 10 of them are immediately on the scene, which is very reassuring as a parent. They did miss when my son briefly went under, but luckily he was surrounded by kids and I was right there, so he was okay. A couple of areas I wish they'd improve: more shaded/umbrella seating, and some kind of rubberized surface on the steps in the littles area, because they're very slippery.

There is a lazy river, swimming areas (of course), lap lanes, diving boards, a fake tree with a rope swing, water slides, lounging areas and a concession area that sells food and drinks. Lots of lifeguards around. There are also pickle ball courts, a playground and bathrooms across the parking lot. The part I didn't love was the women's bathrooms/shower room. They were old and kind of gross. The lockers themselves are outside the bathrooms and are on the small size- bring your own lock! Also there is no outside food or drinks allowed. (Nobody hassled me about my water bottle for class, but technically the center was mostly closed at that point.) I think this would be really fun for families.

Perfect! Such a…read moregreat aquapark, full of fun things to do! From toddlers to adults I think this place is a great place to go to swim or just even lounge around. I went several times with a twelve year old and a fifteen year old and we all had so much fun. It fills up quickly on nice days so don't wait until you feel it's prime time to go to the pool, you will not get the best seats in the house and the place kind of crowds up quickly. From the pool to the swinging rope to the little snack bar, you will have a great time and won't be disappointed I'm sure. Oh, and can you say Doggie Dive In?? Don't forget to bring your four legged friend the day/weekend after labor day. Our pups always have a fantastic time!

Updating my review to four stars. The pool is less crowded this year and although they still need…read moreto hire more lifeguards, they are doing a better job of staying open consistently so far this season. The pool needs to be skimmed more often and the lifeguards still do not keep people that are not swimming laps out of lap lanes like they should when they are being used. They let people just hang out and they are constantly getting in the way. The lifeguards I have met are very courteous though. Ryan and Caleb especially. They do a good job guarding and enforcing the diving board rules.

A very nice aquatic facility! I was invited by a friend who is a St. Charles resident. This pool is…read morefairly strict about non-resident passes, which I do understand and it is their right. It makes the pools less crowded, and I'm sure is easier on the lifeguards and maintenance staff. I have no complaints about my time actually poolside. However, I am knocking a star for their terrible online ticketing website. It appears they limit non-resident passes to twenty a day, which makes getting put into a que and then taken to another page, which was finicky, to pay with credit card quite annoying and also nervemaking, as I worried we had driven out for nothing as the number of tickets left went down... Anyway, I was impressed overall. Not sure I'll be back out before it closes for the season (mid-August, which seems early), but I was happy to invited once!

In winter, a park hill provides snow sledding. A serene spot in the park is set aside for the Angel of Hope statue, a memorial to all parents who have experienced the death of a child.
