About

Gated water park featuring a lazy river and a pool.

Specific pool temperatures for the Cermak Family Aquatic Center are not publicly listed. However, outdoor family aquatic centers commonly heat their pools to a comfortable range, typically between 78-82°F (25-28°C), for guest enjoyment during the operating season.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? This water attraction is highly recommended for families, especially those with younger children, due to its shallow water (up to 2ft) and manageable size, making supervision easier. Season passes are considered an excellent value, providing discounts and enjoyable multiple visits. While generally praised for being a fun and fair-priced family destination, several areas for improvement were noted: recurring wasp issues in play areas (despite staff notification), lifeguards perceived as overly strict, expensive and limited food options, smelly bathrooms, and a general need for more shaded areas.

I bought my family the season passes and it was the best decision we made for the summer. The whole family enjoyed it. Went many times and got more than my money's worth. Also had my kids birthday here. Being pass holders gave me a discount for the party. It is worth it! Will purchase again for next year!

We absolutely love it here! It is perfect for children under six! However there were wasps by the play area the last two times we were there. The time before my son got stung, I notified staff and when we came back this week I assumed that there would be no more wasps but they were there again by the play area.

Really awesome experience. It's really small guys but the good thing is u won't have to worry about your kids because the pool and lazy river come up to 2ft. They get a point off for the life guards. The life guards are way too serious and they sometimes can be too harsh on the children. The area is so small, u guys need to chill especially when the crowd is respectful

Excellent water attraction for the whole family. My 3 year old loved it and the pricing was fair. Only comment would be that more shade is always welcome. We will definitely be back.

The food is expensive and they run out of many options by noon. Either eat before or after visiting. The bathrooms are smelly. The park however is good. The kids love it and it's great for younger kids.
