💬 What Visitors Say
- Arrive 30 minutes early to secure prime seating and lounge chairs, as this venue gets very crowded and seating is extremely limited. Plan to either wait early for a good spot or accept standing/shared seating.
- Complete your swim test early in the summer—it's valid for the entire season, so you won't need to retake it. This saves significant time on repeat visits, especially important given the long swim test lines reported.
- Bring your own food and drinks to save money. Outside food is permitted, and while vending machines and ice cream are available, bringing snacks is a budget-friendly option for families spending multiple hours at the venue.
- This venue is ideal for young children ages 2-10, with a dedicated kids area, splash pad, and warm water. However, for older kids (11+), the limited space and overcrowding may be frustrating, so consider visiting during off-peak times if you have teens.
- If you're not a Chehalis resident, expect Chehalis residents to get first entry. Plan your arrival accordingly and be prepared for potential delays in entry lines, especially during peak hours.
