Powered by GoogleMy 8yo son has loved it. There are spacious outdoor areas for the kids to run and play. The pool is from 3' to 5'. Indoor changing area/bathrooms. Long corrugated pipe slides down the hill leading to a. Reel that they can splash around in. The mosquitos are kinda bad, but he's having a great time being outside all day.
