From the reviews
My kids have went swimming here with their schools and their Kids Club programs several times and have always said it was so fun! I decided to take my kids there this last Sunday (7-14-24) because the high was going to be around 100°. I read on their website that they open to non-pass holders at 12.
Great place to bring your kids. A little spendy from what we are used to for a day pass per person but it is definitely worth it to go swimming all day.
Great water park. Water had some trash in. Dressing rooms were very clean. Plenty of loungers and shade.
This water park is a great place for the entire family. The view you get is awesome too. It is right off of the side of the road and has beautiful mountains in the background. The pictures I included don’t do it justice!
