Visitor tip
Arrive early to secure seating and floats for the lazy river. The park has limited chairs and floats available, which become scarce during peak hours.
Visitor tip
If visiting with toddlers under 3, supervise closely in the kids' play area and at slide exits. Reviews indicate inconsistent lifeguard attention in these zones.
Best time
Plan to visit on regular operating days rather than special events like 'Dive In Movie Night,' which requires leaving at 7pm and paying an additional $10 per person to re-enter at 7:30pm.
