Lots of fun and not too expensive. I find it dumb that you can’t bring your own floaty. They said that was the city’s rule though so I can’t blame them for that. There are lots of lifeguards. I feel safe bringing my kids. There is a whole kids section that is 1 foot deep with slides and also an area in the front that has sprinklers for the really little ones. You can borrow a life jacket or floaties for no extra charge. The lazy River is lots of fun. I hate that they are about to close for the season. Only open until Labor Day unfortunately.

We visited 2 times in 5 days(Wednesday and Saturday) Super fun and affordable for kids. They offer free lifeguard certified swimmers or life jackets. There is a lap pool for open swim and 3 diving boards on the opposite side. They have a small playground with 2 tube slide and a double slide in a zero entry area that goes to 1 ft. This area then funnels onto the lazy river. You can walk or ride a tube through the lazy river. There are 2 large slides that you need to be 48 inches to ride. There is a lifeguard at the bottom(4ft deep) to assist with newer swimmers. Off the zero entry area is a whirlpool (has jets that make water to whirlpool, not hot tub) They offer limited concessions with hot dog, nachos, icecream treats, cookies, chips, gatorade, soda and water. They do not allow any carry ins aside from water. You are allowed reentry so i’d suggest packing a lunch. There is a park across the parking lot with benches. Admission is $8 if under 48 inches and $11 for over 48 inches. Children 1 and under free. i would 100% would recommend.

First time there and it was great! Big pool for swimming , kids area, two slides and a good lazy river with a whirl pool too. They also have a good little concessions stand with hotdogs, nachos, ice cream and other snacks. Lots of chairs too and some have covers over them!

Pretty cool pool for 3-12 year olds. Only negative is the severely overpriced food and drinks with very little options. Next time we will bring our own as their movie-theater-price gouging is beyond excessive for a kids pool.

The facility itself is pretty great. But allowing a line that's currently 70 people long in 95 degree heat is ridiculous. There's this new thing called the internet and it has these things called websites. Seriously, why are there no online ticket sales? 2023 update: still horribly long and slooooowww entry lines. It takes forever to process a transaction. Give a mobile device with a card reader to an employee and do mobile payments with people in line. Seriously guys get with the times. Also, if you're not going to allow outside food and drink, that's fine. But expand your concession options. Hog dogs or "nachos". That's it for food, plus a few varieties of ice cream. Not even a pretzel? No burgers? Sell the food or let me bring my own. Skip this place on weekends. They don't have enough lifeguard staff and have to close portions of the facility, which lowers capacity. Currently in line with 100 other people waiting for space to be available inside. 2024 update: 105 heat index, main pool is closed, at capacity, and card readers are broken. Awful.
