We love the Kroc center. We had a membership for a while and sent our child to the summer camps. Facilities are clean, well maintained and high quality. Staff are extremely friendly and inviting. Unfortunately, since they raised the price of the membership with the childcare it’s no longer a viable fit for us.

I mostly love this place. Our kiddo does well at the daycare which is HUGE and, if there is a wait it's not long. They have a lot of classes and equipment for all your workout needs. The competition pool is wonderful, if you can get a lane, and the kid's pool is really great when it's not overcrowded. The struggle with both pools is that there are only so many cabanas for changing so you can end up waiting for a room while dripping wet which is hard if you have kiddos with you. Or you can try to change in the locker room which isn't bad unless there are 2 dozen teenage girls also in the locker room because they just finished team swim practice. So, it seems like scheduling could be reworked but overall, it's just a highly used facility. The other issue I have had was that we were paying for a membership for our kiddo for a year before we found out that she doesn't need one since she is under 3. It then took several contacts with their staff to get it corrected and we weren't issued any refund for all those months of not needing a membership. This was frustrating but I considered it a donation at this point. Just be sure you are getting the right membership for your needs when you sign up. I've thought about going to check out other facilities but stay here because it's part of our routine. While I am happy to see it flourish, it does detract from the experience that it's so crowded all the time.

Relaxation and entertainment for all ages. The kids area has a variety of competitive games; kids can play indoors and outdoors. Customer service composed of young, polite, resourceful people. The gym, rock climbing and swimming areas, all inclusive. The boys and I had a wonderful experience. Highly recommended.

LOVE the Kroc center. It’s a beautiful facility with friendly staff and the kids have a blast. We actually went to celebrate our son’s birthday, and the indoor pool and rock walls were such a hit. My son also attended camp this summer and loved every minute. So thankful for this place!
