★★★★★Tammy RomelMy nephew’s been going there since the beginning of July and it’s still going he loves it. The staff are so sweet and kind and take good care of all the kids and have a great lost and found system.
★JenniferWent to a event held here today and was very disappointed that the lifeguards called out so we were not alloud to swim. Kids were very disappointed and not allot otherwise for them to do. I drove over a hour to go to this event planned in advance and you couldn't provide lifeguards?
