Great value water park for families/kids. Entrance is $4 per person, which includes full access to a waterslide, the large splashpad area and connected 4' pool area, diving boards, and the adult lap swimming pool. Perfect amount of variety for the kids to spend a few hours here. One additional perk: There was a good amount of lifeguards posted (and one even walking around the splashpad area permanently), and definitely felt safer because of it. Pizza was $4/slice and really good actually.

What a clean park! I drove from Palm Beach to visit my brother in winter Garden. After driving through some scary streets full of questionable people, I got to an empty park that was absolutely clean. My favorite part is the restrooms are so clean with clean benches to sit in. Bravo to the team that is managing this park. I picked up some food at a local cafe and also some water from Publix, it’s 10 minutes away. It was also such a beautiful day. Don’t forget to clean up after yourselves so you can enjoy a clean park next time too.

Great place to take the kids for the summer. Entrance fee $5 per person. No outside food allowed. Yes they check the bags. There's a small toddler slide and kids/regular pool up to 5 ft, a large pool thats about 12ft (dont quote me on the depth of the larger pool, I was busy watching the kids at the smaller pool and babysitting), and they also had a pretty decent bigger slide for the bigger kids/adults. They have lounge chairs with umbrellas throughout the center, benches and tables to eat, and the plus is that they have at least 6 active lifeguards on duty at any given time. They swap out to relieve each other for breaks, performed practice runs with someone drowning and responded promptly, and there happened to be a child that had jumped into the deeper end but couldnt swim, then when the adult with him screamed out for help, they were all in the pool saving that little boy. It was very inspiring to see the level of commitment of the lifeguards and the prompt action when necessary. The place was nice and the price to get in was very reasonable. They have a concession stand. My neice tried a hotdog and drink. The hot was less than $4. All in all, great and safe spot to take the kids this summer to cool off and have fun.
