What parents say
Very clean, well kept place to swim. I suggest bringing your own life jacket as they can run out. Also sand toys for the kids since there is a small beach. The splash pad was a great place for adults and kids a like to cool off. Loved paddle boarding...had never done it before!
Far exceeded my expectations! Prices are fair, equipment is up to date and in proper working order, and staff was friendly. There is a splash pad for little ones and skill level goes up to fun for adults including kayak/paddle boarding and zip line into the water.
Great family place for $5.00 cash. Bring your own snacks drinks, they have pop up canopies for 15 bucks. But it is amazing for the family. everyone wears a life vest. Paddle boards, kayaks. canoes, paddle boats, swing slide, water launcher, so much fun we can't wait to come back.
We had our company picnic hear. All kinds of things to do for all age groups. My 2 year old loved the splash pad and kiddy area and our 11 year old loved the water activities for bigger kids.
