Had a blast!!!! Flow rider was awesome!

Only thing we went for was the lazy river only To be told my husband Could not ride. Paid $26 for nothing. My husband's medical condition plus his weight will not allow him to ride on top of the floats. He can only ride on the middle of the float. Evidently that is not allowed on this lazy river. I've been to many lazy rivers and never been excluded for riding like that so we Paid for nothing just to leave.

Questions & Answers

Where do we put our cell phones and wallets, do they have lockers? Are they free $ to use? Do you recommend we leave our phones in the car?

Vael Victus | Nov 1, 2019
Randall Freeman | Nov 1, 2019

Best question I've seen Vael. There are lockers like the old skating rink had. I'd suggest a ziplock bag for the water sensitive items. It's hot, dont leave that cell phone in the car.

There is a play area for your brother there. They don't usually let children that young go on the big slides, but there are two smaller slides on the water playground that he will probably really enjoy.

If my 1 yr old only crawls can she sit at the entrance to the pool and splash without wearing a puddle jumper that is too big for her it seems?? It will make for a miserable day with her not being able to get cooled off and splash if she cant crawl

Chris Evans | Nov 1, 2018

The rules require a life jacket for people under a certain height. You might be able to convince them to let you use your own as opposed to one they provide, but ultimately it's their call. Your daughter won't be allowed in the water unless she's wearing some sort of floatation device.

Mary Hansen | Nov 1, 2018

Well theres 2 bigger slides, a smaller sized splash pad/ jungle gym, and a lazy river the size of a basketball court. In my opinion, I'd say its pretty small. But my 3 year old nephew could have stayed there all day and wouldn't have gotten bored. Older kids, probably not.
