From the reviews

Very clean facility! Will be back to visit! If I lived closer we would definitely get a membership.

★★★★★ — Kathrine, Oct 2023

We are a family of 5 and have a gold membership. My husband and I like to lift weights and the free child care is amazing. During 2021 our youngest asked if he could skip daycare and go to Hucks Hideout because he loved it so much. He said all the ladies who work in there are really nice, plus he gets a snack!

★★★★★ — Tiff, Aug 2022

The Kroc center is a 1 stop shop for all the family fun! They have a rock climbing wall, a basketball gym, full on weight training facility, an aquatic center that has a toddler area, lazy river, lap pool, and a big slide. They are very accommodating for birthday parties, swimming lessons, yoga classes, and more.

★★★★★ — Ryan, May 2023

This is a very large and very clean facility. I am working out of town from Houston, TX and stopped by here to play some basketball with co-workers. The day pass is reasonably priced and the membership as well. The gym equipment is clean and well maintained and the basketball gym is huge.
