🏆 Family Action Verdict

Suited to families with kids of mixed ages — toddlers have a dedicated shallow pool, older kids tackle slides and the climbing wall, and adults can float the lazy river. Arrive early on weekends; capacity limits and entry restrictions have frustrated some visitors who showed up mid-afternoon.
