The kids seem to enjoy these birthday parties a lot. No one really checks the guest list when you host a private party. You also get access to the party room upstairs. All of this for 125 dollars which covers 2 hours and 15 guest. Given the low price I can see why lots of families host birthday parties at the pool.

Miller Park is also a place for other recreational activities such as shooting hoops and walking. Has a playground to entertain young children. There's also a lake that has a cool bridge that makes for classic scenery. An interesting history about it. It's the largest park in the city to be sure. The park is best known for the zoo. Actually it has an interesting history itself. The zoo has its own business page on Yelp. As for the rest of the park, there's other stuff worth exploring. There's a pretty big lake. Go take a walk across the stone bridge. The park also has a mini golf course and softball fields among other things. Also check out a preserved steam locomotive. There's also a pavilion for those wanting to have a picnic. Has lots of activities throughout the year including festivals and fireworks. It's located east of Morris Avenue and south of Wood Street.

Sholem provided the perfect spot for this morning's swim! While I can't speak to this facility during a busier time, I can speak to my experience in the pools earlier hours. I was able to walk up to their admission desk and, after talking briefly with the friendly desk worker, I paid my $6 to swim and headed into the locker room. During my swim, there was never more than 4 people in the pool and I was able to swim in one of their 3 lanes for most of my swim. Additionally, while the air was a little chilly this morning, the pool temperature was perfect! I thoroughly enjoyed my swim and would recommend this spot to anyone looking. I also eyed a pretty awesome lazy river that I'd like to take a few laps through if I find myself itching to swim again before I head back to St. Louis!

Didn't try the lazy river-those things have a history of making people sick. Tons of fun splashy play type stuff for little kids. The only reason they don't get five stars is the lack of a diving board. Come on people, if you're going to spend a ton to build a massive aqua complex, you put in a diving board.

This water park is most definitely geared for younger children or adults. I didn't find it amusing…read moreenough to say it's geared for a much older audience. There are 3 water slides. One in the kiddie pool area, and two one you take a tube down, and the other you don't need one. The pool goes from a few inches up to about 5 1/2 feet deep, no diving allowed. There separate locker rooms/restrooms with showers, and outdoor lockers that you can rent for a small fee to store your things securely. The admission fee was something like $5/person but on this particular visit we used some free admission coupons that were given to us by someone leaving the park. Total score! The facility seems to be kept clean, and I saw a suitable amount of life guards available in case one were to be needed. I should also mention that there is a small park area that is accessible from within the water park. I want to say that I seen a sand pit, and some swings. There were lots of chairs for sunbathing and a concession stand as well.

I did have an incident however, that makes us not want to go back anytime soon. My son has schizophrenia. When he comes to the pool with us all he does is walk around. He paces. That's just all he does. He rarely even gets in the water. Well, someone reported him as being "suspicious" & said he was following them. I wasn't at all happy about the way management handled the situation. They had the park police come & wanted them to tell my son to leave. I talked to the park police & explained that he's got this disease & he walks around & talks to himself. But he's the sweetest person you'll ever meet! He's harmless, extremely friendly doesn't bother anyone. It really hurt him to think that someone accused him of doing something malicious. They agreed not to make him leave as long as he stayed right with me. But that's impossible. He can't stay in one area...ever. He walks all over. So my brother came to pick him up & take him home because he was so upset. He felt very discriminated against & so did I. It's sad that I can't even take him swimming for fear his "odd behavior" will make someone think he's doing something wrong! People need to be educated about people with mental disabilities. (& it's very obvious that he has one). Anyway, we won't be back because he doesn't feel comfortable there. We are going to a pool in Bloomington /Normal now & it's wonderful. No one has bothered him or been bothered by him & we love it.

Review Visit: October 22nd, 2014…read more Holiday Park was a nice stop in Bloomington. It came at the tail end of a day of exploring a lot of parks in Bloomington. From what I remember, it was a pretty nice park. Bigger than I was expecting. There is a pool/swimming area for people of all ages to enjoy. It was closed for the season when I visited. There was a big lake adjacent to it that was nice to walk along. It would've been cool to experience the water park, but there is always another day. If you are in the area and the season is just right, take your family/kids/friends/strangers (okay, maybe not strangers) to the park. Between the pool, playground area, a lake to walk along, its a nice little gem of a place to visit.

It appears the neighborhood does not take great pride in their park. There is trash all over the playground. Adults were vaping and paying little attention to their children. My kids still had fun. They especially liked the rope spiderweb. This park is really designed for the older child. Perhaps late elementary to middle school. There is also a splash pad, however it was not working, I'm assuming because of Covid19. Also there's a large grassy knoll. Likely great place to sled in winter, picnic and roll down in summer. And also BBQ and picnic tables for BBQing and parties. There were no bathrooms that I could see. Maybe that's the norm in Illinois? And a very small parking lot. A bit disappointed.
