Clean, organized/great for younger children
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with children aged 2–8 looking for a supervised, clean outdoor water play environment. The presence of staff attendants throughout the session makes it comfortable for parents of very young children. Day camp and group visits are common and well-accommodated, and large groups should factor in the per-vehicle parking fee for buses.

“Came here with a summer daycare day camp group of 40+ kids and was disappointed that they charged us $30 to bring the bus in! Any other place we have gone to we have never been charged for parking. It wasnt like we were just coming in to play at the playground....we we going to the splash park that was bringing them alot of $$ with all those kids! Plus, more than half of the kids also buy food while they are there. Just a bit disappointed with their "rule" We will definitely be going elsewhere in the future.”
