I wouldn't recommend this aquatic center for birthday parties. The price is over $250, and you only get 45 minutes in the birthday area before you're rushed out. Yes, pizza and cake are included, and you can stay and swim as long as you'd like, but 45 minutes is just not enough time. Trying to get all the kids to sit down, eat, and do cake in that short window is stressful--especially when all they want to do is get in the pool they can see right in front of them.
On the positive side, the lifeguards are very attentive. The moment a whistle blows, 10 of them are immediately on the scene, which is very reassuring as a parent. They did miss when my son briefly went under, but luckily he was surrounded by kids and I was right there, so he was okay.
A couple of areas I wish they'd improve: more shaded/umbrella seating, and some kind of rubberized surface on the steps in the littles area, because they're very slippery. read more
