Good to know before you go
- Visiting solely for water slides during cold weather, as they may be closed.
- If you have low tolerance for potential minor customer service mishaps from younger staff.
- Expecting high-end amenities or highly specialized sensory accommodations without prior direct communication, given a reported incident with children on the spectrum.
- Some younger staff members may lack adequate customer service training, leading to potential misunderstandings or less-than-ideal interactions (e.g., reported incident with a family of children on the spectrum).

- Accessibility
- Review mentioned children 'on the spectrum' and a misunderstanding with staff, indicating a potential need for staff training on interacting with individuals with diverse needs.

What parents say
"Finding this place was gold, glad today the slides are open again. The facility is very clean and well maintained. Seating is plentiful. You may bring your own cooler, and food inside, which is such a plus. Staff is normally very helpful and delightful, especially the office manager, except today's incident. I had gotten our bracelets and walked away, my son came crying and here I am oblivious to what was going on. I walked back in and explained to staff that my son had walked away without getting his bracelet (my kids are all on the spectrum, so im sure he misunderstood something). Young lad"

"This is our first time here and just the lap pool area is HUGE! Very clean and nice... so many lanes and it is open early and there is so many class that they offer... the girl that checks you was so nice and sp helpful... and it is so nice to see so many life guards on duty... it is only $3 bucks for adults and $2 bucks for kids and $1 for senior citizens... since it is freezing outside the water pools and slides are closed but they look nice and fun... we will be back to hang out to try those other things out... there is other facilities on the other side but i think that is a different fee"
