The Cove – A Splash of Fun for All Ages! The Cove is an absolute blast and a perfect place to enjoy with family and friends. The variety of water activities keeps everyone entertained, especially the kids who had a great time on the slides. The surf-like area was a highlight, super fun and thrilling! The drinks were refreshing and added to the relaxing vibe. Overall, it’s one of the best spots around for water fun and making memories. Can’t wait to go back!

It’s a great place to go with your younger kids and family!! The location is partially covered. You still need sunscreen but you’re less likely to burn under the Texas sun. There’s fans going and that temperature is cozy because it’s partially indoors. The staff was friendly and helpful. There’s life guards on duty that pace from one station to the other. You felt safe because they were constantly scanning. My kids were 3 and 4 and they had a great time in two of the play areas. Only thing is adults get in the way standing in the middle and don’t get out of the way to make sure the little ones don’t fall into them or end up with they head at they feet. There’s food there but it’s pricey. You can bring your own cooler but there’s restriction on size and you pay for the cooler each time you bring it in. There’s cabanas near the big pool which I regret not getting. That in my opinion is the best way to experience the park. There’s free tables outside but outside was infested with ants. I would have definetly paid for the cabana if I would have known. It was a great time and I think this is a great benefit little elm has to their town.

Nice experience at this indoor water park with lot of fun activities for kids and adults. Special attraction is the surfing area and lazy river. There are 4 high altitude water slides which are added advantage. Temperature of the water is little cold. The restroom requires frequent attention. There are birthday parties can be arranged. Inside food and beverages are available however small kids snacks you can bring. They accept Dallas Pogo Pass. The crowd is more on the Hispanic side and the lifeguards are always attentive.

Great indoor waterpark to take the family. The skylights made it feel like the sun was shining down on you, and it sure kept you warm. My grandkids, 3 and 5, loved playing in the kids' area, going up and down the slides. My nephew enjoyed the surf rider, and one of my sons enjoyed the Lazy River. It was rmeasy to walk around and get to each space. They even had a rock formation by the lazy river with a separate jumping off area, which was fun. There were only 2 big windy adult slides. My nephew is 13 and loved a particular slide that made you drop straight down before twisting you around. The lockers cost different amounts. The smallest one that will fit a couple of people's belongings in was $8. My son and hos wife and 2 kiddos were able to get a larger locker for their family, which I believe was $12 (credit card machine access only). It was convenient to just punch in a 4 digit access code whenever you needed to get something out. They had hot food you could order and eat there as well as an ice cream facility. We went on a Monday and it was packed so I'm sure the weekends must be completely jammed!!!! There was plenty of parking and everyone had fun! The lifeguards were great and did their jobs well, trying to keep everyone safe!

We took our grandchildren and a friend there. It was very fun and the kids had a ball! I recommend getting a cabana. There is something for everyone!
