"We had a wonderful time. We did a one night trip and definitely will return. The employees were kind and helpful, especially Jessica in the water park and Alex in the arcade.

My only recommendation would be to splurge for a late check out if you are only going for one night ...while pricey it did help maximize our one night trip."
