Location
Best time
Visit on weekdays (Wednesday-Friday) rather than weekends if possible. However, expect crowded conditions even on weekdays, especially in the kiddie area which reviewers noted as small and consistently packed.
Visitor tip
The kiddie area is small and gets very crowded—arrive early to the water park or plan visits during off-peak hours. The baby/toddler section was specifically noted as underwhelming and cramped by multiple visitors.
Visitor tip
Don't miss the complimentary kids activities and events in the main lobby throughout your stay—reviewers highlighted these as highlights for children. Also note that meals come with complimentary wolf ears and kid cups.
