I was very disappointed with my visit this week. Many of the sections and slides were shut down…read more Staff is poorly trained (with the exception of the lifeguards). And the property is dirty and badly outdated. Do better Six Flags!

I grew up going here when it was Magic Waters but haven't been in probably a decade. We took our…read morekids this time and had a ton of fun. Here is what I noticed: The place was smaller than I remember (that seems to happen as I get older and larger), but doesn't mean it's small. It's a great size with a lot of different things to do for almost every age group from babies to adults. Since we have little ones we stayed in the kids area most of the time and our kids loved it. They have a big water playground with one of those huge buckets that dumps a waterfall every 5 minutes or so. I really want to go back sans kids and go on some of the adult slides because they've added a bunch and they look super fun. The lines aren't bad to get to anything (in fact we never waited for anything while we were here) so they do great crowd control. The wave pool in the center is a fun time too, and they also have a lazy river. The workers were all pleasant to us and the park was kept very clean. The kids area did need a little scrubbing of the floor (in the center of the playground floor, where there is standing water), but that was about it. I felt fine walking barefoot everywhere. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the high prices of the food and drinks. $12 for a kids dip n dots ice cream, $20 for one order of chicken fingers...these are ballpark or movie theater prices, maybe worse. That's the only thing that keeps it from being 5 stars to me. At least they provide a few umbrellas and picnic tables in the parking lot, so as long as you prepare and bring a lunch or meal with you, just go eat it in the parking lot and come back. The other nice thing is they stamp your hand upon exiting if you want to return, so it's very nice they allow going in and out if you need to. We got season passes this year (nice that they also get you into six flags as well) so I am looking forward to coming back again soon!

We love dolphin. My 5 year old boy/girl twins have been attending since they were just over 2 years…read moreold. We have made real connections with both their teachers and front desk staff. They love getting hugs at the front desk from the various ladies they have seen each week throughout the 3 years. My kids have all types of energy and each teacher they have had has been patient and also able to push them. There are so many times and swim teachers that if a time or teacher isn't working out you can find another time or teacher easily. There are both male and female teachers which is nice to see. My kids really enjoy their weekly lessons and have learned a life long skill.

They are pricier, however, I strongly feel you get what you pay for in this venture. The staff are extremely knowledgeable, well trained- and FUN- they want your child to master the outlined skills but also to enjoy the process of learning. Both of my girls have made leaps and bounds. They are vigilant (there is always an extra in water deck supervisor). The procedures for safety and cleanliness are apparent and upheld. The desk staff are kind - and willing to help with scheduling and finding the right fit for your child. We absolute love this facility. Thank you dolphin swim club for teaching such an important life skill!

I dont know if the person who signed up our membership was incorrect in telling us this but the only reason we had bought a membership was to use the studio for dance as studio rental is incredibly expensive. Very disappointed.

I joined this location specifically for the "warm pool." In the last two months, only one time,…read morehave I been able to actually swim without an issue. There are only 3 lanes available; and if you go anytime after work, good luck getting access to the single lane that they condense lap swimmers down to due to swim lessons taking precedence. There are weird "safety breaks" that occur throughout the day and the last time I was there, I was in my final 25 lengths to my 2 mi swim and was told I had to get out because the lifeguard "deserved a break" (her words, not mine). Mind you, I was the ONLY person in the entire aquatics area at this time. And, she was wearing street clothes; not even a swim suit. I assured her I was of no concern to her and asked if I could finish my training. She suggested I "read the signs" As soon as my training comes to an end, I will be leaving this location. Their lack of employees, specifically lifeguards, should not negatively impact paying members. If I could submit more complaints, I would.

You walk in and the front desk is more of a hang out spot for the employees to chat amongst themselves instead of being customer service oriented. It's a higher end gym, you would think the members would be treated as such. The classes, have the right equipment, but the up beat energy of instructors to motivate and hype up the members and command a class is missing. I took a cycling class, great music, great ambiance and lighting, but the motivation, excitement, and hype at the front of the room from the instructors was sad and lacking. I tried many different times and different instructors, but sadly didn't find anything other than lacking. They seemed nice though. I do come from a high end gym, Club Studio, in Irvine CA. where their classes are all one big epic party while working out with great ambiance, great sound system, great mood lighting, and top notch instructors that elevate and motivate you throughout the whole class. Sadly, they do not have a Club Studio yet in Rockford and I did end up leaving Peak. Couldn't really justify the price of the membership at Peak when you can get close to the same amenities at any other gym in the area. Good gym. Nothing special. Not worth the hype.

REVIEW UPDATED! Boy…read moreI wish I would've read these bad reviews of Nelson's before I let them pvc hard plum my pool hoses! I also wish I could give them 0 stars! I noticed a small leak 8/27/23on the hard pluming to the SAND FILTER they installed June 2023. I called to get this repaired since it was just this summer that the work was done. Being told I would have to pay $142 for a service call for work that was just done THIS summer! So I asked to talk to NANCY NELSON the owner. I see her name on the other bad reviews of Nelson's. Boy were the right!! I told Nancy that I would pay 1/2 of the service fee. She would not budge! I also told her I regretted ever having the hard plumbing done. I was thinking out loud and said my deceased husband would not have wanted me to have the work done in the first place. (He passed 9/4/22.) Nancy says "Don't bring your dead husband in this, he can't help you!" OMG! I couldn't believe she said that! I told her to come out and put everything back the way it was. Which is taking all the pvc pipes off and putting the hoses back on and after that I would never use Nelson's again! I agreed to pay $200 to have this done. I'm not going to pay $142 for a service call every time there's a leak because of crappy work! I never had issues with the hoses. I was sold that the pvc hard plum is the way to go. It's not!! No where in the review did I mention the solar heater! It did leak several times before they brought me a new one. Yes we did hit the hose to the solar heater. We used the hoses that were left over to fix it. It is now leaking at the coupling the tightens the hose to the solar heater. We disconnected the solar heater all together. That I regret buying also! But again this review is about the small leak to the sand filter and the horrible customer service I received from Nancy Nelson the owner. I never said a word about her technician! They were to come out 8/29/23 to do the work I wanted. Nancy wanted $200 cash from me because I guess she thought I'd give her a bad check. I got the cash and took it to Nelson's, gave it to Nancy and had her sign the receipt saying the work would be done. I also told her I hope her husband never leaves her a widow and that she doesn't have to put up with a very disrespectful person like her! The work was never done. I was called the next day saying they decided not to do the work because I was firing them anyway and that they were mailing me a check for $200. I told them no I want the cash back. So I had to go back in there, of course Nancy was hiding and had an employee give me my cash back. She also had him call me telling me the work would not be done. Sorry this is long but I wanted to tell everyone exactly what happened. I was also in the parking lot telling a lady about this place. BUYER BEWARE!! READ THESE REVIEWS! I am also going to call the Better Business Bureau. Thank you for your time.
