We love it here. My family and I have been going here for the past few years. As my kids grow they gradually progress the pool process and I love it. They started off in the baby pool area, next the big pool, now they’re jumping off the diving board, and the slides are their next big achievement. I imagine we’ll be coming back for many more years. Otherwise, as a parent, I feel more parents need to pay attention to what their kids are doing. But that has nothing to do with the pool itself. The food court is also awesome. I personally enjoy a nice chicken quesadilla with a drink and a cold ice cream to top it off. I wish they would just leave the umbrellas out for people eating but you can ask the front desk to put them out for you!

Free Summer Concerts on Tuesdays. Had 2 separate food vendors. Bring your own chair and/or blanket plus cooler if you want. Great bands in a pleasant atmosphere
