Love this pool. It's never too crowded which I love. They have a deep end with a diving board. There is also a tube slide into the pool which the kids love.
— Christine
Great pool, great staff, great price. I brought my kids and my nieces and nephews there. Had my hands full with 5 kids but the pool made it so much more bearable.
— Gary
It's very clean and friendly. The kids always have a lot of fun!
— Amber
Took my granddaughter for around three hours. She is a novice swimmer, but had a great time on the slide. It was clean.
