    The afterschool program was convenient since they picked up my child from middle school. The people…read morethat work the after school program were very nice and I highly recommend.

    UPDATE Megan Morgan left a message on my daughter's phone as if I had not left a detailed message…read moredays before. My daughter then sent a detailed email that has recieved no response. It is now June. My baby is afraid of the pool. Sees other kids going to swim lessons and asks if we're going to make him go back to that place and no refund. I don't know what I expected from a place that was so rude and wouldn't suspend my account when I was paralyzed from the neck down in a hospital 2 hrs away. I registered my grandson for preschool swim lessons. I registered him for intermediate instead of beginner so the Aquatics Director, Megan Morgan told my daughter(she's the one that took me grandson) that she would leave it up to the teacher. The teacher allowed him in. Great. He's excited he loves the water and wants to swim. Within minutes of class starting my daughter starts texting me. She said there were 2 kids in class that were acting up the teacher didn't get them under control. One of them stepped on my grandson so he started crying. The teacher picked him up for about 1.5min then put him back in the water between the 2 kids. She then told the kids to put there faces under the water to blow bubbles and bc he was smaller and BETWEEN the 2 kids he got choked not even having put his face under water. At this point he's screaming and coughing and the teacher is ignoring him while he's hanging on the wall. My daughter went and took him out of the pool got him dressed and left. This is a child that rarely cries when he gets hurt. Later that evening he asked his mom several times to please never make him go back. So in the span of 25min we went from having an excited water loving 3yr old to a terrified 3yr old that has had nightmares since. I left a message the next day for Ms. Morgan outlining everything and asking for a refund. I still have not heard back. I called the morning of 3/25/25. #chrisbryant #ymcaceo

    Attended a lecture on snakes here and was able to pet various live snakes! A lovely little museum…read moreand, for lack of a better term, "mini zoo." Pretty grounds, walking trails, a dog park. You can make a day of visiting Oxbow and the Infantry Museum, which is basically across the street. Thankful for the work they're doing here and to have this gem in our community.

    I had to take the kiddos to explore Columbus,GA. Happy to have found this place for the kids and us…read moreadults as well. The kids had tons of fun seeing the snakes, alligators, turtles, fishes and other animals as well. The young lady at the front desk was very friendly and informative about the programs that they'll have in the near future. They have little stations for the kids to interact with around the center. We met another young lady who took the time to talk to us. It was nice of her to stay back and talk to the kids about the modeled dam. Thank you for being professional and courteous to us. Admission is donation at least $5 or whatever you can do. Sanitizer station at every entrance and exits ( I love that ) thank you for caring about our health. Restrooms were clean They have souvenirs and other things that you can purchase at the front of the building. If you're vaccinated you don't have to wear a mask but if you want to wear a mask you can. Some employees wore masks and some didn't. It wasn't crowded at all and we got there around 1ish. Which was great for us because we had 7 kids to look after :) Plenty of parking but very few are in the shade. Not sure if you're able to bring your own food but it is a nice spot to do a picnic. I would highly recommend this place for others to experience!! If and when we come back, we'll definitely visit here again!!
