What are people saying (AI review summary)? This spot is highly praised as a 'much needed' and 'great' place for families to cool off and have fun on hot days, especially after visiting the zoo. It's particularly popular with young children, though adults also appreciate the heat relief. Its convenient location near a gift shop, restaurant, and restrooms (for changing wet clothes) is a plus. A common suggestion is to add more shade for adults. One review also suggested repurposing it with holiday themes during cooler months.

This is a much needed cool off for kids (and parents) on a hot day. It's conveniently located near a gift shop and restaurant. Maybe it should be repurposed during the cooler months' themed for the holidays. Christmas trees, etc. This is located in front of the living coast.

The kids loved it, it was a very hot day so the adults got relief from the heat as well.

Nearby restroom to change out of wet clothing is perfect. Would love just a little more share for the grownups.
