The Cove at The Lakefront

My 3 year old absolutely loves going to the cove every week for toddler time and then again in the afternoons. It's a lot of playtime spread out throughout the day at a great price. The toddler play area is entertaining enough to occupy my adventurous toddler for hours in the morning. The lazy river, rock climbing, and balance area are additional fun in the afternoon. My only con is that the family restroom is absolutely freezing every time we have visited. Not a very comfortable area to change a toddler or myself as our teeth chatter.

Despite already high expectations from the glowing reviews, The Cove still exceeded them. Very clean and spacious. Lots of lifeguards on duty. Geared towards pre-teens and younger but can be enjoyed by older youths for a short while. Really odd to not have changing rooms, though. But, if installing dressing rooms means a smaller activity area, I am glad they prioritized maximizing the activity area.

I would normally give this place a 5 or 4 star my older kids love it here. I took my autistic one year old to toddler time and he started to get overwhelmed from the loud water crashing. I went over to the pool side and for the 30 seconds until the lifeguard rudely told me to get out because it's just adults my son was happy and content. I asked the lady at the front desk if there was any way to let me have him over there so he could enjoy it. She asked her manager Sean Westbey who was extremely unprofessional did not even offer to come talk to me just told her no. He just sat there on his phone laughing. Very upsetting that such a family oriented place would not make accommodations for children with sensory sensitivities.

Love how much this is geared towards toddlers!!! The air flow was great, not as stuffy as Epic. It's clean and prices are pretty good. The reason I give it 3 and not 5 is because they don't have benches or seating on the inside by the tree ddler areas, you only have tables and seats upstairs or outside. They said they don't have tables because that's the were the party rooms are but just seems like poor placement. Other star missing because showers didn't work well (some not at all) and they are on the outside of restrooms. Would love to be able to wash my hair after swimming since we live so far away. And there are NO changing rooms in restrooms. 🤔 At least not on the big toddler side.

The Cove at The Lakefront is an indoor Water Park. Once you pay the entry fee, everything inside the water park is included, except for the food, snacks, and drinks. There are tables and seating areas upstairs that overlook 2 of the kiddie pool areas. There are also tables and seating areas downstairs near the pools. There is so much to do inside the water park, so plan to spend a few hours there. It's great for the entire family. It's also very clean and organized with plenty of lifeguards on duty. Towels are NOT included nor are there any towels available for sale, so do not forget to BRING YOUR OWN TOWELS!
