“it is a very good pool good temp could be a little bit deeper but I can still clear a good dive without hitting the ground ( I'm 5,7). also very good for your little ones a baby pool that is shaded and very warm. there is always floats and sometimes little toys in baby pool. the hydro slide is good quite fun and east o access and not a big struggle to get out of the end pool. also not crazy long waits the longest line I've waited in was 10 minutes and that was on a 36 degree day. there is also very good sitting areas could be a little but more shade and 3-4 more tables but otherwise very good. I 100% recommend me and the kids love it. P.S most lifeguards are very friendly especially the tall blonde tan girl with white nike shoes and black square like sunglasses.”
