Water slides, lazy River, diving boards, lap pool, and dedicated kids area with a little slide and lots of water features. There are chairs all around to sit on and some grass for sitting too, though finding chairs in the shade is more competitive. This place is such a good deal!! If you are visiting Shawnee during the Summer it's definitely worth a stop.

Such an awesome pool to go to! Very kid friendly! The staff does kid friendly games like water…read moreballoon toss and guess how many tootsie rolls are in a jar. The bathrooms are clean and spacious! Only downside is I feel like the staff is very young so management maybe needs to encourage more professionalism and communication skills to the cashiers and have all staff informed about different promotions going on. For example I called twice to confirm if I could bring a canned food to get half price admission (according to their website) and the girl on the other end told me no. I called again for a different employee and this girl was yelling out to anyone else who walked past her to get a answer if it was still going on. They assumed yes so I showed up with my canned good and they took it but she still wanted to charge me full price until I mentioned I brought a canned good! Besides this I'd bring my kiddo again.

I love how the "big kid" and "little kid" areas are separated by the lazy river where most adults…read morewanted to be, including me! Many areas are provided for those that don't necessarily want to swim or be involved in pool activities, but still be in the water. I love the padded splash pad for the littles, then the multiple streams of water throughout the "little kid sections" with two different types of slides. Then in the "big kid" section there's the pool for those that are older and I'm certain adults can enjoy it as well! In the general pool area there are built in basketball goals and in the diving pool there's a rock climbing wall....my first time seeing a wall at a pool. We came here with our 2 year old and she was asleep by the time we made it home, so it's safe to say she had a great time! This aquatic center was recently renovated and it was definitely money well spent, very inclusive and fun for all ages! Can't wait to spend more summer days here cooling off.

This lodge is a kid's resort. From cabin life rooms designed just for them, to daily activities of…read morebingo, crafts and music with the mascot, to laser tag, and magi quest. It's alot of direction to venture into. The water park OMG massive slides, lazy river, kids sections, kid playground, swimming pool fun with basketball hoops what more could a kid ask for. Starbucks and ice cream store, a deli market, a bar and grill restaurant, a pizzeria there is plenty of options to eat. Arcade room available and mini golf as well. The cons are if you have older kids there is no outlets in the kid room in case you are thinking of bringing extra devices to entertain your big one. The outlets are in the main area and not easy to find. This lodge is cashless. They do not accept cash anywhere! Only credit card and debit card. They do have a cash card you can put monies on but just one time , so be sure to add up everything you plan on buying tax included because it's not a card you can reload. It does not give change back either AND it's a 2.00 fee to load. The arcade is the same way but you can reload on that card but it's a 2.00 fee initially. Staff was friendly and security was on campus. Parking is license plate based , they will ask for your plate number and after that you are free to park wherever fyi. Mini golf has its own outside section , it looked fun but just too cold to play. Wristbands are your keys. It's a $50 dollar fee to replace so make sure you guys keep that band attached. It' gets you in your cabin, water park, and activities around the place and stores if you attach to your credit card.

We visited during winter break and had an awesome time. The pool area is fantastic for all ages,…read morefrom toddlers to teens; they have various slides, a multi-level treehouse, and several different play areas. We also did the "Pup Pass," which was definitely worth it. It included a Build-A-Bear (my son's first!), ice cream, a cup of candy, and a $5 arcade pass. While the food on-site isn't the healthiest, it's decent. A great tip is to bring your own snacks or meals, as the rooms are equipped with a fridge and microwave. We found that one night was the perfect amount of time for us.

We have always loved the lazy river and slides and have really enjoyed the addition of the wave pool. This is the perfect size water park for our community and the lifeguards have always been so attentive. My only recommendation would be to go back to being able to pay cash or card at the front desk for entry, as we have issues with the website/online ticketing system nearly every time we purchase.

Some places have been closed all summer. The lifeguards are chill, the family pool and slide are out young families favorite. Today they opened up one of the big slides which was awesome. 4$ to get in and a regular pool with a bball hoop. They open at 12:30 but some days it's closer to 1 when more life guards show up. Again I'm not bothered by it, we bring lunch and hang out all day. They have a large parking lot, a playground and splash pad that's no cost. It's not the best but from my lounge chair by the pool it comes close:)

We did enjoy the lazy river with the tubes as he was allowed to float with adult assistance (not always the case at many pools). He was also able to use the large yellow slide with adult assistance as well as the large family slide. The climbing structure was functional and there were many levels, buttons, buckets, etc. for him to push/pull, and dump. Admissions fee was competitive and re-admittance for the same day (with a stamp on your hand) is also an option. Bottom line. Likely not to return. IF we were to, we'd definitely call first to make sure all pool areas are open.
