What parents say
"I had a great experience here. The pool is warm enough for extra small littles. I had kids age ranges of 11 months to 11 years and everyone had fun! The water in the rooms take a while to warm up, but otherwise I'm happy! The room is was in didn't have carpet which was weird at first but is probably smart because of all the water! Room was clean, service from front desk to maintenance was wonderful. (Called maintenance because I thought our hot water wasn't working). Pro Tip! You have to pull out the handle in the shower to get it to turn on lol"

"I agree with the review that talked about soundproofing or lack of. We were given a connecting room and it was the worse. Hard to go to sleep because of our neighbors. I felt bad calling the front desk but it was after 9pm. They woke us up at 6 something this morning. It was horrible. They also close the wave pool down for quite some time. The Tito’s slushie was missing the Tito’s Overall my son and friend had a great time because being worked up so early by our neighbors. Cas at the front desk was amazing. Very sweet, knowledgeable and friendly"

"My family and I just stayed here over Easter weekend. Such a good time, it’s absolutely perfect for 5 years and up. We find it better than Great wolf and Kalahari. Prices on food could be lower but wasn’t extremely expensive. I love how strict they are on safety and their rules to keep kids safe."
