“Really cool place to take the kids for a couple of hours. Splash pad is awesome and the baby pool inside is nice and warm. Plenty of lanes in the big pool to do some laps. Will be back to try the spa and sauna.”

“The gym has everything you need, from free-weights to all the machines. Never too busy and best of all no attitude. The pool is great too, and I always have enough space to swim, and enjoy the sauna after. There's not just an extra toddlers pool but an outdoor waterpark. I haven't been to the classes but they seem to cover everything, including child holidays.”
