First and probably last time ever going to this wanna be water park. First off the entire design of the park is horrible. The pool is a island in the middle and you can't go from the pool to the lazy river. You have to get out walk across a hot wooden dock to get there or to the slides. I was told by a lifeguard that I couldn't throw my daughter in the air in the pool because it's rough housing. My daughter went to the bigger slides and they let her go down the straight green slide but said she was not tall enough for the green spiral slide. Then later she came back for the same straight green slide and was told she was not tall enough for that one either. Even though she had already been down it twice. Got the cops called on me because I crossed the lazy river to get over to my daughter after she was told she couldn't go down the slides. Yes I was pissed that now she was being told she couldn't do what she's already done and no i was not about to get out the pool and walk across that hot dock to get to my daughter. The manager said that the lifeguard who let her go didn't do their job and she couldn't do anything unless I could tell her which lifeguard it was. So now I have to do the manager's job too smh. My daughter told me which lifeguard it was. When the cops showed up we pointed the lifeguard out. The cops even knew I didn't do anything wrong which is why I was told I could stay and enjoy my day. They're so worried about my daughter going down the slides but have multiple holes in the pool, where the tile is completely gone and my daughter was using the loose pieces of tile as diving rocks. That's more of a danger than the slide. Anyone could cut themselves on the bottom of that pool. All that after $51 for me and 2 kids to get into the park. Place is ghetto. Play ground is roped off, no splash pad, even some of the showers didn't work/roped off. Save your money and find a local pool.

The lazy river goes around the whole park. Lots of chairs around to sit down. Multiple lifeguards around all the pool areas. Multiple slides to pick from. Snack bar available. Playground and shaded areas available. Big park enough for Multiple groups to have fun in the water. None of the water is above 5 feet so safe for all

absolutely WONDERFUL experience. with our awesome season pass, we were able to enter for 17 dollars and i would stay in the lazy rivers for HOURS if i could!!! enter with a guest for 17 dollars but with season pass is free AND ALSO this girl kept following me and someone blew their whistle at me but it’s worth it for this AMAZING, TERRIFIC EXPERIENCE!

The only reason I gave it a 4 star instead of 5 is because I think it is overpriced. The park is small with a few slides, lazy river and pool. Even though it is small my 2 teen boys enjoyed a few hours there. It wasn't crowded and 99% of the lifeguards were friendly and very attentive.
