Visitor tip
Book reservations online up to 14 days in advance to guarantee entry, as walk-up tickets frequently sell out, especially on weekends. The facility operates two 3-hour sessions (11 AM-2 PM and 2:30-5:30 PM) with a 30-minute closure between sessions.
Best time
Plan your visit for weekday mornings (11 AM-2 PM session) to avoid weekend crowds and sold-out capacity issues. This timing also avoids the afternoon rush and gives families the full 3-hour session without time pressure.
Visitor tip
This facility is ideal for children ages 3-12. Utilize the large umbrellas and picnic tables for shade breaks, and note that the zero-depth activity pool and play structure with water cannons are perfect for younger kids. Always maintain direct adult supervision (18+) as required by facility policy.
