About
Indoor pool featuring a slide, diving board and rock-climbing wall, plus a gym.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? This aquatic center is largely praised as a clean, fun, and well-staffed destination, particularly for families. It offers a variety of attractions including a lazy river, water slides (one with a 48" height requirement), a kiddie wave pool with waterfalls, a diving board in a 12ft pool, a splash pad, and a rock climbing wall. Priced affordably at $3 per swimmer during Family Open Swim hours, it also provides amenities like pool chairs, benches, and free tubes. While generally recommended, recurring criticisms include the limited open swim hours and a policy requiring all swimmers to exit the pool for 15 minutes every 45 minutes for lifeguard breaks, which some reviewers find inconvenient and illogical. Despite these drawbacks, it is often cited as the best aquatic option available in Alaska.

Clean, fun and well staffed. It's only $3 per swimmer during Family Open Swim (Fri 4-8pm; Sat & Sun 11am– 6pm). There are pool chairs and benches to sit on if you're not swimming and during the hourly 5min pool breaks. The front desk has Little Swimmers, call for sizes available. No personal tubes allowed, they have free tubes to use as well as 2 baby tubes for those who can sit. There is a lazy river, kiddie wave pool with lots of water falls, curvy slide (must be 48" tall to use), 12ft pool with diving board and small regular pool area.

This place is lots of fun for families, they have lots of different things to do. A big water slide, lazy river, splash pad, diving board, rock climbing wall. The only thing that baffles me about it is that every 45 minutes they make everyone get out of the pool so the lifeguards can take a 15 minute break. There are definitely plenty of lifeguards working that they can be working in 15 minute shifts so that everyone gets their breaks, but instead they make everyone get out of the pool while they all take a break at the same time. Makes no sense to me.

Brought my 6 year old daughter. Paid 3 dollars and had a day of fun. Only with they were open for open swim on the weekends longer than just Saturday. Definitely recommend for anyone with kids looking for a few hours of fun.

It’s Alaska so your choices are limited and of the choices this is definitely the best. It doesn’t feel dirty like other pools in town. Wish open swim hours weren’t so limited but otherwise best alaska has!
