What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews indicate a generally positive experience for families and children, with highlights including a popular waterslide, the presence of attentive lifeguards, and delightful employees. Many noted that kids had a blast and enjoyed the facility's hotdogs. Practical information includes entry fees of $10 for those over 48 inches and $5 for those under. Visitors are advised to follow rules, such as needing a facility-provided float for the waterslide, and should note that outside food is not permitted (though water bottles are allowed). Criticisms included the facility being smaller with limited attractions (only one slide), and a significant negative point was the snack bar closing early on a very hot day when outside drinks were prohibited. Some visits were also affected by weather-related closures.

The Perfect Spot for this Summer Heat 🥵 The kiddos had a blast. Life guards are all around. And the kids Loved the Waterslide!!! Just a great time all around!! $10 entry for ppl over the height of 48inches and $5 if you're below that height.

It was fun. Make sure you follow the rules. And before you get to the top of the slide, make sure you have a float from the facility. Or you will have to walk back down. The hotdogs were wonderful and the employees and lifeguards were delightful 😊 I will definitely be going back before the end of summer.

Kids had lots of fun. Wasn’t full of people. It’s smaller and not as much for kids to do. Only one slide. Overall my kids and grandkids had fun. Keep in mind no food can be brought inside. You can bring water bottle.

Snack bar closed at 2:30, on a 105 heat index day. Not a good idea when you can't bring in your own drinks.

I took my three granddaughters and they had a very good time! We all enjoyed the day except for the park needing to close due to the lightning âš¡
