Grapeland Water Park is not open year round and when it is open you can see the crowds enjoying the…read morepark and full parking lot when you drive by. It's a Miami-Dade Public Park located in an area away from the beaches and tourist spots situated next to Miami International Airport. I'm only 5 minutes away and the day was beautiful so I packed the bare minimum to spend about 2.5 hours with my 3 year old. I just wasn't sure what to expect. I had a lot of questions like, were we going to like it? Was there going to be ok food? How was the parking going to be? Was I going to find a place to sit? I just didn't know. Let me tell you what I packed and what I will do next time. I just took a back pack with two towels, a water bottle, sun block, a pack of gold fish crackers and my wallet. I did ok with the towels because I was wondering if they'd have towels for us like they do in a resort. They don't have towels for you and I have no idea why I would have thought that they would have towels? In addition to the above I'll take more snacks, beverages, couple more towels and treat it like a beach day. We walked the entire park to get a feel for where we were at and find a good spot. Surprisingly enough we found a spot in the back and that was ok. I feel that any spot is a good spot at the park because everything is so close. You'll find plenty of loungers, a few loungers are under big umbrellas, some tables with umbrellas and areas reserved for parties. Some people even moved loungers under palm trees a little further back or sat around on the grass. Everyone seemed happy with there choice. There is plenty of food spots. One main area where you can get chicken wings, tenders, pizza, hot dogs, ice cream, sodas, small bagged snacks, plus a few more items. And there are about three or more carts around the pool you can get hot dogs, cut watermelon and shaved ice at. That was more than enough for the size of the place. We didn't have to wait long at all to get a snack when we got hungry. The pools are crowded because that's what we are all there to do but it's expected and we were not all on top of each other. You will have to make short lines to get on the water slides and the lazy river which I didn't expect because I was still thinking "Resort" lol. Again, it was all good at the end because they were very quick. There are life guards EVERYWHERE so you feel very safe and they control the shenanigans of ppl trying to cut the line even tho it's not a long wait and monkeying around at the pool. Yes, I read other Yelpers reviews about the lifeguards whistling every second, but.... come on it's not a big deal... you're at a public pool with a lot of people and they are keeping everyone safe. No biggie! Parking was easy for us. We actually found one the moment we drove in close to the entrance however any parking spot is a good spot. The lot is large and we didn't encounter frustrated drivers looking for parking far away. Once we were there enjoying the day, hopped around from pool to pool and walked around a little we liked it. If you've stayed at a resort before, the pool has the same feel minus the hotel and open bar. The entrance price is a deal. One adult and child entrance totaled $19. This is a great way to spend the day if you're a local or a tourist. Note: there are float vests available for the children but they are limited. There are lockers available to store your valuables for a fee.

i just recently moved to florida and heard great things about this cute little waterpark. we got to…read morethe park fairly early, waited in line for about 45 minutes and when we finally got in, we were so excited to hang out in the pool. we have a baby so i was rushing to get in, as soon as i step into the water their alarm goes off. now, it was thundering/lightning so they have to close. we came back about an hour and a half later, the weather had cleared up and we used our rain check. same thing happens, except there was no thunder or lightning. spent $75 just to walk around not once, but twice. this place is a scam and i won't be coming back here.

4.5 Stars! My son started late 2016. He loves the water. We have tried the cheap county park group…read moreclasses, the YMCA group classes, and YMCA private class but we needed something more indoors, where he gets the attention he needs. My boss recommended this club as they work with children with special needs. That was so comforting to know. But when she told me where this place was located, I almost changed my mind. I live in Homestead and the club is located all the way right across the Tamiami Airport. But my son needed exercise and he needed to learn how to swim. The club is located in one of the warehouses on 120th. Its two floors, but not very big. The front of the club is the office area, waiting area, and changing area. It's air conditioned. There is one restroom inside and a shower outside next to the pool. Outside the office is a winding staircase that is blocked off to keep the parents from sitting on them. There is also a gate so that only students can enter the pool. There's not a lot of comfortable sitting area but the place always looks clean. The pool is a normal size pool and its about 4 ft. deep. The pool area is decorated with flags and their safety tools are visible and accessible against the wall. The pool are divided into 3 lanes. Each lane host a maximum of 3 students. On a slow day, my son would get one on one lessons. From what I was told, the two owners/instructors are both Cuban Olympic Swimming Athletes back in the days. So they are legit instructors. They do not speak a lot of English but they had been very pleasant and accommodating to myself and my son. They do have younger, Bilingual instructors there (one is Coach Yesid) and that is how we would communicate with the Coach Carlos. The Coaches are no joke, and they mean business. This type of structure is what my son needs and I truly appreciate that. My son could only go to class once a week and he learned to swim in no time...from freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly. And the best part is the confidence! We enjoy being part of this swimming club and highly recommend it.

I found out about this swim school from a friend of the family who has brought her kids here for a…read morecouple of years now. It's located in the warehouse area across the street from Tamiami Airport, along 120th street. They offer infant rescue survival classes from ages 9 months to 3 years, school aged kids lessons, a swim team training and classes for kids with special needs. While looking for swimming lessons for my kid I found a couple in this area, but what sold me on M&M was the small class size and the professionalism of the coaches. The thought of my kid being in a class taught by an 18 year old with 5 other children just didn't sit well with me. This place has a max of 3 per coach. There are 4 changing rooms and a shower for rinsing off, as well as a couple of benches in the lobby area for parents to sit and watch their kids.

This beautiful public pool recently re-opened after extensive renovations. They have a small pool designated for children, and the main pool which is divided into shallow water and deep water. Also be sure to explore the grotto and the waterfalls. They will stop admitting guests once they reach capacity, so try to arrive early. There are plenty of lifeguards around to keep everyone safe. The facility is well-outfitted with ample parking, a casual café, and M/F locker rooms with showers.

There is no price on peace of mind and it is good to know my child knows what to do should he fall in the pool. Huge thanks to instructors Andy and Noelia. They both were so kind and patient with my kids, but also pushed them to learn and develop their skills. My kids couldn't wait for their lessons with them. I would definitely recommend Little Swimmers!

So we decided to enroll our 23 month old & 9 month old simultaneous in the survival swimming class…read more This class is with a private instructor, meaning every child gets a 100% attention for a full 30 minutes! Little swimmers in Killian, consists of two pools, covered waiting area for parents and hut which serves like an office. They are open Monday - Friday 9:00-7:30pm My husband agreed to take both babies as I was told they would cry for the first few days inconsolably. It would be too much pain and torture for me so I decide to show up after class everyday. The survival swimming class is two weeks in a row program. The seating area for parents is distance so you can still see your child. They recommend you stay away so you don't become a distraction during the class. Outcome: I don't know how they did it but it's magical. They both learned to swim to the edge. They are still too young to learn technique but I feel a little more comfortable now especially as we are approaching the summer. The instructors (Jaylen & Leandra) were both very nice & sweet. They offer you the opportunity to get in the water on the last day of class to show you, so you could keep practicing. We definitely plan to continue bringing them every year for a refresher before the summer! We definitely thought thought this was a great investment as we have a pool at home. Although it's gated it's always important take alternative security measures. The only reason I didn't give this place an overall 5 stars was because I feel they could do a better job in making the facility look nicer. I have been to other swimming schools in miami and the facility is a lot nicer looking. Otherwise service was 5 stars.

La experiencia fue la mejor, Felipe y Angela los managers en aquel entonces corrian ese lugar con mucha profesionalidad y conocimientos. Les estoy muy agradecida a ambos como fueron con mi hijo y vi que con todos por igual. Lamento que ninguno de los dos se encuentren actualmente. Incorpore a mi hijo nuevamente y estamos muy disgustados con la nueva direccion del lugar, considero que no cuentan con la experiencia suficiente, ni conocimientos para correr ese lugar, estoy muy pero muy decepcionada de la manager de "Ocaquatics Eureka". La actual manager "Mailyn" y la otra muchacha que ambas evaluan a los ninos, considero que deberian preprararse mas para la funcion que estan haciendo, lo mismo cambian de clase un nino que aun no ha vencido los requisitos que dejan a otro estancado en un nivel que esta listo para un cambio y la respuesta es que no llevaba dos tres meses en el nivel. Encima ella no se siente capaz y me dice que una supervisora por encima de ella evaluaria al nino, entonces? para que ella esta ahi, que tiene de especial mi nino? que decepcion de ese lugar a la verdad. Ahora mismo no recomiendo esa locacion y ojala un dia regresaran a Angela o Felipe o al menos una persona bien preparada como para dirigir ese lugar. My son started at Ocaquatics Eureka from the age of 6 months in 2021 until he was 2 years old, when we decided to stop classes because when the teacher changed, the boy was a bit reluctant and cried a lot. The experience was the best; Felipe and Angela, the managers at the time, ran the place with great professionalism and knowledge. I am very grateful to both of them for how they treated my son, and I saw that they treated everyone equally. I regret that neither of them are currently with us. I reinstated my son, and we are very disappointed with the new management of the place. I believe they do not have enough experience or knowledge to run that place. I am very, very disappointed in the manager of "Ocaquatics Eureka." The current manager, "Mailyn," and the other girl who evaluates the children, I think should prepare more for the job they're doing. They'll move a child who hasn't yet met the requirements to another class, leaving another stuck at a level ready for a change, and the answer is that he hasn't been at that level for two or three months. On top of that, she doesn't feel capable and tells me that a supervisor above her would evaluate the child. So, why is she there? What's so special about my child? What a disappointment about that place, really. Right now, I don't recommend that location, and I hope one day they'll bring back Angela or Felipe, or at least someone well-prepared to run that place.

No more floaties now that he has gained confidence in the water and can swim! My son swims twice a week (one private class and one group class) and asks us if he can go everyday. From the manager Mr. Felipe, to the Assistant Manager Ms. Angela to swimming instructors Mr. Daniel, Mr. Alex and Ms. Mimi, the staff at this location are all absolutely WONDERFUL! They know all of their swimmers by first name, show they care, make you feel at home, and do their best in providing a great experience for all their swimmers! We can't wait to enroll our baby in lessons once he's close to a year-old. The only con is that is is extremely difficult to book a make-up private lesson because they have limited spots and they are always full. We give Ocaquatics

You can bring in a caterer and can arrange through the process for permission to serve liquor.
