Sept 8th 2025. This review is for kiddy Indoor Pools. The pools are great. Temp is warm well temp. It was busy with students but not so much kiddy pools which was what I was there for. Plenty of space and had fountains that sprout different shapes as water falls with whale waterfall great for sensory. Different water hights also. Deepest adult thigh height , kids waist height roughly.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Reviewers describe the indoor kiddy pools as "great" with a "warm" temperature and sensory features — "fountains that sprout different shapes as water falls with whale waterfall — great for sensory." Multiple water heights accommodate toddlers to school age. The splash pad has relaxed swimwear requirements.
