Watch out for the crooks at this place, go to Maple Grove!…read more I came with my Family for "Tot time" which ends at 10:45AM. We arrived at about 10:15am and had what I think is a very reasonable assumption (that other people around us also had) that when "tot time" was over we could simply stay and enjoy the pool even though it would be a mix of older kids and families joining in. But that is not the case! They kick you out at 10:45AM sharp, at which point they will charge you a full re-entry price, and have a police officer onsite specifically to take your toddlers snacks out of your beach bag. What a joke. Go out and catch some real criminals instead of harassing my kid.

I want to start with the good: this is a very nice community pool that has some unique features…read morelike the lazy river and some nice water slides for various ages. The lifeguards take their jobs and safety seriously, which was comforting to see. My kids LOVE the lazy river but I was disappointed that they got rid of the inner tubes they used to have, so it's not really a "lazy" river anymore since you can't just relax and float. The not so good: the prices are so high! $14 per person for ages 2+, plus a 3% credit card fee. You are allowed to get a stamp for re-entry but you are not allowed to bring any snacks so anyone who has children knows, you won't make it longer than 2-3 hours with kids without food. They do have a concession stand, but as expected they only offer pizza burgers and the like, no fruit or veggies or other healthy snacks. For a family of 4 to enjoy 2 hours at the pool we paid $57, which is quite high. The other not so good bit is the pool is always so crowded; we got there 20 min after they opened and could not find a chaise to set our stuff on. The sign at the entrance says the capacity is 644, but I can't imagine if they actually allowed that many people in, it would be utterly unbearable. In summary, this is a great community space but I personally do not plan to go more than once per season because of the over crowding and the high cost.

I parked in the main lot and entered on the top level, so I had to go downstairs to find the member check-in spot. Once I found the check-in spot, I did a little wandering before giving up and asking a staff member for help finding the cardio machines. Every staff member I've encountered has been very friendly, and they keep the space clean. The weights and majority of the cardio machines are in a walled-off section of the gymnasium, behind a walled-off fitness studio. There's a lot of space, even during busy hours. Upstairs you'll find the indoor track, some additional cardio machines (my favorite spot!), and an open area for stretching. There's a good variety of group classes here. The instructors are enthusiastic and fun!

The staff is incredibly caring, consistent, and dedicated, creating a safe and welcoming environment where children thrive. The structured daily schedules, engaging educational activities, and focus on social and emotional development gave my daughter the confidence and skills she needed before kindergarten. It was so reassuring knowing she looked forward to going every day and came home excited to share what she had learned. The tuition is also very affordable compared to other programs, especially considering the exceptional quality of care and education they provide. I am so grateful to every teacher and staff member for the love, patience, and encouragement they showed my daughter. We will always look back on our time at Carol Matheys with nothing but gratitude. I highly recommend this center to any family looking for a preschool that truly feels like a second home.
