What parents say
"My son and I came here on a regular basis the first 2 years of his life. We just visited on Tuesday after a few months of not going. We love it. The kid play place area is perfect. My son loves. We love going down the big slide together. The lazy river is cool. All of the lifeguard are professional and easy going for the most part. The water was super warm this last time and I absolutely loved that. You should swim here."

"Great indoor area for kids. The lazy river was a favorite. The water was slightly cooler than we were expecting but if you bring a towel or robe for the kids they will probably be more comfortable between the locker room and the pool."
