A lot of areas in the water park were closed due to things not working. Staff were not helpful. Fridge did not work in the room. Room smelt like cat pee.

We had a lot of fun during our stay. Very kid oriented- which is exactly what we wanted. The lifeguard fist bumped my son every time he went to the water slide- my son thought it was so cool! He would keep my son at the top of the slide until I was able to make it make it to the bottom in time to catch him. That’s not typical of places so we truly appreciate the level of customer service and decency of the staff! My only negatives were that the entire building needed power washed (so many bugs/spiderwebs on the window) and more outdoor seating (went off season so it could be due to that).

The water park was smaller than expected. The games and food were expensive. We had an issue with the check in person that was escalated to two managers and were never offered a free game or piece of pizza, it was like they didnt care. I dont think we will return.

The family suite upgrade was worth the money, however the mattress and pillows were horrible. Flat, small and not enough of them. The room was clean, some missing paint in some areas, but to be expected in a family style room. More seating in the suite would make sense instead of a table with two chairs. Front desk service was very slow, check in was 10-15 minutes. However lots to do for the kids with the shows, games and of course the waterpark. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
