The pool is open Monday thru Sunday from 11:30 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.  Kids 4 and under are free and everyone else is $6. For me and my 2 kids (4 and 6) it was only $12 to swim all day! This pool was really nice and I'm so glad we got to check it out.

The only negative thing we experienced was there was a ton of rude kids there. Every few minutes we'd get caught in the middle of a water gun fight, or someone would kick me as they swam by, or splash us in the face. I think it's just the nature of a busy pool but it was annoying. It has been 100 degrees every day this week and it was definitely busy!

My kids were too short for the yellow slide but they loved the blue slide and went down it repeatedly! No part of the pool was deeper than 4 ft, so it was perfect for my kids ages and swim abilities.

You can manipulate a bunch of wheels and levers in here. My daughter dumped a big bucket on water on herself unexpectedly, it was pretty funny!

This overhead photo was taken when the pool was empty, but the lazy river circle is at the right with 2 inlets for people to sit and relax in. The splash pad is in blue all the way at the left and the big bowl slide is at the bottom right.
