We love this pool! Good for all ages! It is worth the drive from Kansas.kids will stay for hours and be entertained. I usually have to drag them out.

Long line! Was told at capacity! Parking lot was barely full, people who were inside the pool area came out to meet family/friends and took them right inside with them but yet they were at capacity, must not have been. Long line of people waiting to get inside wrapped almost around the back of the building!

Beautiful facility. I will bring my family here one day for a fun day. Lazy river was awesome.

Super fun time! Not our usual place and we had soooooo much fun. Lots of life guards, plenty of seats and umbrellas! Lazy river is awesome!

Lots of fun and not too expensive. I find it dumb that you can’t bring your own floaty. They said that was the city’s rule though so I can’t blame them for that. There are lots of lifeguards. I feel safe bringing my kids. There is a whole kids section that is 1 foot deep with slides and also an area in the front that has sprinklers for the really little ones. You can borrow a life jacket or floaties for no extra charge. The lazy River is lots of fun. I hate that they are about to close for the season. Only open until Labor Day unfortunately.

We’ve been season pass holders for 2 years. And it seems like every time we come, the big pool is closed for some reason. And we just tried to go today, and we were told they were at capacity! But yet there was barely anyone inside, and the big pool looked closed yet again. I’ve seen it more packed on a Tuesday afternoon than it was today on a Saturday, an hour after it opened. We will not be returning season pass holders anymore. Really unfortunate.

Season pass holder. The pool is often closed. Tried to go on a Saturday and was told they were at capacity, even though they had less people than on a standard weekday. Would not purchase a season pass.

My kids had fun which is most important. It wasn't to crowded so that was nice. There where a few things that could use improving. There where so many bugs in the water it was gross. In one area by the lazy river where the water was swirling around was a massive amount of bugs. The water was to low for the skimmers to work like they should. A few of the drains where broken with no covers a toddlers foot could probably get stuck if not paying attention. Walking up to the water slides all the chains on the fence where broken or missing. The kid area just needs updating and paint it was really scratched up. My children's only complaint was at the lazy river that they didn't have a lot of tubes for people to use. We have a pool pass at another community pool and i wanted to compare summer pass prices when I looked at their price for a summer pass There is no way I would pay what they want for what they offer. I would how ever pay that for OOF season pass and get more things to do.

We visited 2 times in 5 days (Wednesday and Saturday) Super fun and affordable for kids. They offer free lifeguard certified swimmers or life jackets. There is a lap pool for open swim and 3 diving boards on the opposite side. They have a small playground with 2 tube slide and a double slide in a zero entry area that goes to 1 ft. This area then funnels onto the lazy river. You can walk or ride a tube through the lazy river. There are 2 large slides that you need to be 48 inches to ride. There is a lifeguard at the bottom (4ft deep) to assist with newer swimmers. Off the zero entry area is a whirlpool (has jets that make water to whirlpool, not hot tub) They offer limited concessions with hot dog, nachos, icecream treats, cookies, chips, gatorade, soda and water. They do not allow any carry ins aside from water. You are allowed reentry so i’d suggest packing a lunch. There is a park across the parking lot with benches. Admission is $8 if under 48 inches and $11 for over 48 inches. Children 1 and under free.i would 100% would recommend.

The facility itself is pretty great. But allowing a line that's currently 70 people long in 95 degree heat is ridiculous. There's this new thing called the internet and it has these things called websites. Seriously, why are there no online ticket sales?

2023 update: still horribly long and slooooowww entry lines. It takes forever to process a transaction. Give a mobile device with a card reader to an employee and do mobile payments with people in line. Seriously guys get with the times.

Also, if you're not going to allow outside food and drink, that's fine. But expand your concession options. Hog dogs or "nachos". That's it for food, plus a few varieties of ice cream. Not even a pretzel? No burgers? Sell the food or let me bring my own.

Skip this place on weekends. They don't have enough lifeguard staff and have to close portions of the facility, which lowers capacity. Currently in line with 100 other people waiting for space to be available inside.

Pretty cool pool for 3-12 year olds. Only negative is the severely overpriced food and drinks with very little options. Next time we will bring our own as their movie-theater-price gouging is beyond excessive for a kids pool.

Pool facilities were great. Bathrooms were dirty right at opening and there was no water pressure in the showers. If they could fix those issues we would consider getting yearly membership

It was our first time, good for kids to enjoy the water and very reasonable price. The only thing is there's not much food choices other than hotdogs, nacho, cookies and chips. Also the food prices were over priced.

Was in line when it happened. Was told no slides. 30 min to a hour we all had to get out of the water because there was feces floating in it. For the 4 hours we were here, we never ONCE was able to get a tube for the lazy river. I have been here before and there was a lot more tubes. There wasn't even any one person tubes. Today was definitely not worth coming nor the money!
