I love this pool. I live about 30 min away but it is well worth the drive.
There is LOTS of stuff for kids and even very little kids (always have your kids in floaters, even in the kiddie area. It only takes a second for them to run off). There is a small slide for the littler ones (I would guess 2-3ish years old), a little bit bigger slide (for the kiddos aged about 3-6ish years). They have buckets that fill and dump on you, they have water shooters (which on my last visit, some kid stood there and blasted me in the back of the head with).
For the bigger kids and adults they have a lazy river with 2 whirlpool areas. There are 2 slides. The blue one is open and you can easily see as you twist down, and the yellow one is a closed in tube slide and it's dark as you go down.
Everything I've mentioned so far is in the kiddie area.
There is a big pool that goes to 12 ft and there is a low diving board and a short but fast and gushing slide (probably better left to the good swimmers and the older kids. I went down it and it gave me (a very strong swimmer) drowning vibes. Maybe it was just me, but I wanted to mention it.
In the big pool the also have a lane for lap swimmers, 2 narrow rock climbing walls that when you fall off you fall into the pool. The big pool also has an open area in the water that I *think* is 5ft. It's a great place to gather and chat with your friends. You're still completely in the water, but (I'm speaking about adults here) you can stand, so it's just relaxing.
I've been to Manchester Aquatic Center many times and it has always been a fun time.
They do have a concession stand and they ask that no food or drink be brought in. The exception being a bottle for water.
I have no idea about the cost for residents or summer passes, but when I go it's $9 to enter.
10/10 would recommend, will go again!

We got together with some family and friends to swim, and it wasn't crowded at all, it was clean, and everything was up and working. Sometimes one of the slides will be down, this was the first time it was running while we were there. They have a diving board, two taller water slides two slides for small people, and one thats short with a drop off into the deeper pool. The permanent umbrellas they have set up are great, and there should be more of them. There is a lazy river with two whirlpool areas that are pretty fun to play in with your kiddos. Our nieces had a blast jumping into the deep end and trying to climb their waterside climbing walls. Non-resident prices for adults is $9.

Couldn’t go swimming cause the guy at the front didn’t know how to do half cash and half card. I wish they new how to do stuff like that because I feel like it’s essential to know.

What a great pool! ¡! Had a wonderful day with my Granddaughter. Lots of friendly people and the food is very reasonable in prices. Just a great place to spend a hot summer day. I will be going back as often as possible and purchasing a season pass for summer 2023

Our family swims here practically daily. The aquatic center is a source of nonstop fun! I love the family atmosphere and clean facilities. As our family has grown through the years, I’ve appreciated how the various pools have options for any age. Our summer retreat!

What a beautiful hidden gem. We absolutely love this place! Kids have been swimming here all summer. Nice adjacent park. Membership prices are worth it. Lots of fun for the whole family.

So fun. Plenty of seating & plenty of slides for the kiddos. The water felt great. Reasonably priced snack bar. Clean restrooms & shower area.

The pool is well run, lots to do for all age ranges. Concession is way better than expected and most items are $2.00 or less. Check out their exercise programs outside of public hours, like walking the lazy river against current!

This is like my home in the summer time! Incredible employees. Food is good. And kids have a blast.

I love the pool just to go there with friends but the manager does not understand that those like me who guard there need a break from being scheduled everyday from 11: 45am to 8pm. Another coworker quit because the manager didn’t believe them about injuring themselves and having a doctors note. Another note is when I was on my period with really bad cramps all they said was take Advil and come in then I was embarrassed because I bleed twice on stand on the seat and they did nothing but gave me use the bathroom and clean the seat and have me back on stand. They don’t care if you’re going through things they just care for a full staff for a full rotation and you can tell who they like and don’t. Another note is everyone there tries to find something to talk about and one of the managers said a rude thing behind my back. Never again will I go there to guard

A really great location for just about anyone and any family of any size! There are several pools and one thing that makes this great for kids is that there are areas that keep kids of literally every age range having fun. Some public pools that charge admissions have either areas for really very small kids down to infants or lap pools. This one includes areas that are great for toddlers And kindergarteners and up as well. On top of that, I was pleasantly surprised that the concessions are so reasonably priced. Admission for two adults and a six-year-old was $20. All together I thought it was a very fair price for 4 hours of fun.

Some guy in front desk just charge the money but didn’t explain the swimming pool is closed on 5: 30 because of swimming club training. When we ask about refund than they tell us yeah the pool is closed. It is not right. Some body teach them how to explain it. When you go there first asks about how long the pool is open. Because no refund

Faith Brown is Extremely rude she kicked out a 12 year old for splashing at a guard when the guard didn’t get wet she was rude he had been here for 20 min and he wasn’t given a refund for the price you could go to a much better pool for a much higher price
