This pool is nothing short of amazing. It's open every day from 11-7pm.  They have a tot time from 9-10:45am every Monday through Friday and it's $4 per person.  Regular admission is $10 for adults, $9 for kids, and $3.25 for kids under 3. You do get a $1 discount if you come after 4pm.

The kiddie pool is great! It has zero entry and lots of activities and slides for little ones.

They do have a bucket that dumps out. It's hard to find a pool without these!

The lazy river 

Concession stand

The 2 big slides are scary and so fun! They include the 5 story speed slide and the Boomerango multi passenger slide. There are lots of steps to get to the top, and you have to carry the raft up to the top for the Boomerango. On this slide 2 people sit on the raft and then go down the yellow tube slide until it opens up into the orange thing and you fly up and then down. 

The 2 flume slides, one open and one closed

 They will let you swim in this pool but only at the end near the stairs. They don't want the people coming out of the slides to hit anyone.

When you first enter the facility they will measure the kids, and assign them wrist bands based on their height. Red is for all kids under 42", and yellow is for kids 42" to 48". If they are 48" or taller they get a green one and they can do everything.

They also have life vests you can use

 The deep pool has these awesome loungers on a shallow shelf that are halfway in the water. They have lots of umbrellas too for shaded lounging.

Overall this facility is amazing. It's brand new and clean as of 2018 and has lots of fun for everyone! If you have teens that crave adventure this pool is perfect. The Cove at St. Peters is rather tame and would be a better choice for families with younger kids.
