I thought there…read morewould be just one play gym but there are actually two plus a toddler area where they have movies projected onto the wall. The play gyms are the biggest I've ever seen. Everything is padded and the setup looks really safe so I felt comfortable letting my three year old go in the play gyms by himself while I watched from my seat. My son is infamous for getting stuck or needing help but he was able to navigate the entire place without calling out for help once. Meanwhile my baby had a blast in the toddler area. The setup is really well thought out. I could sit in the middle and see my 3 year old in the gym and my daughter in the toddler area at the same time. I love how they designated an area for toddlers because it helps ensure the babies don't get run over by the bigger kids on a busy day. The toddler area is off to the side so it's unlikely bigger kids will run through there while playing. The man working the desk was extremely nice and attentive. Snacks and drinks are fairly priced. Bathrooms are spacious and clean. We'll definitely be back. I can't think of even one negative thing to say.

Perfect place to take your little ones to have fun while you relax and watch them play. Very clean,…read moreand super friendly. It has two different areas to play according to children's age, however you can easily monitor both areas if your children are playing in both at the same time. Nice venue to celebrate birthday parties. I highly recommend it.

They give you a bin to put your shoes in to keep the floors from being cluttered. Lots of tables and chairs for the adults to watch. They have a gate so the kids can't leave without an adult. The kids loved all the different themed play areas from giant building blocks, slides, soccer area, climbing areas. Even adults are welcome to join in the fun. They even have a small Toto's area for kids in diapers. I enjoyed that the staff let the kids play but we're still attentive in making sure rules were being followed.

It's nice that they have a table for the kids to eat a snack, however, to not be able to bring your own snacks doesn't make sense. The price to play is not cheap and then to be forced to purchase unhealthy snacks is a turn off. We will go back but I will make sure the children have very full bellies before we go. For the price we pay we want to spend more than one hour. I hope they consider changing their snack policy.

I took my daughter here a few weeks ago and we will definitely NOT be back…read more We were there about 10 minutes til I had one of owners yelling at me from across the play course only because I misunderstood what bench I could sit on without socks on. I only got defensive at first because why is this woman yelling at me from across the whole place? (When she easily could've walked over to me and explained what I needed To do. I truly believe if she did this from the start none of this would've transpired. ) Then as I go over to buy the socks so I can go back and enjoy it with my daughter, this mom starts screaming at me saying "Nobody wants to look at your nasty feet!" And instead of these two female owners/ sisters putting an end to this customer yelling at me they chime in so now I have 3 grown women ganging up on me while I'm trying to give them business... I honestly haven't felt that low in years.. I wanted to leave right at that moment but I knew my daughter would've been so disappointed. I cried for the first 20 minutes I was there and if my husband wasn't with me I don't think I would've recovered So fast. The one owner eventually came up and apologized but it felt like a half ass apology because she was like this mom Is always here, but I honestly don't care if she is. She should've stopped it from even getting it to this point. This is not how you conduct a business whatsoever. In response to business: We were there only about an hour til we left and I only know that for certain is because husband had to be at work shortly after that. I don't even recall you asking me about the socks because I was having a hard time pulling up the waiver on my phone so I was distracted. And then instead of Just coming over to me and "politely"asking me to buy the socks you decided to yell at Me across your whole place. You made it seem Like I deliberately went against the rules when I had just misunderstood.

Here's a clean, readable Yelp-style review that keeps your experience intact but flows more…read moresmoothly and sounds polished: First Visit to Splash Zone - Overland, Ohio This was my first visit to Splash Zone in Overland, Ohio. Registration is a bit of a process. You first have to create a profile through the Lorain County Metro Parks system, then return to the Splash Zone site to register for a specific program on a designated day and time. Once registered, the system shows your cost--mine initially showed $0. I arrived about 30 minutes early on the morning of my class, which turned out to be helpful because I had to re-register in person. After completing that, I was told there would normally be a $3 fee due to my SilverSneakers account. However, the woman at the front desk kindly let me attend for free that day, explaining that future visits would be $3. Since I'd never been there before, I had to navigate through several locker and pool areas. There are multiple pools separated by glass dividers with automatic doors--someone shared a helpful tip that the small black box above the door shows which side to stand on to trigger it. The instructor came in without much of an introduction, set up a small carry-on-size speaker, put on her headset, and began the class. The workout was aqua Tabata (a Japanese-style interval workout): 20 seconds of fast-paced movement followed by 10 seconds of rest. The class lasted 45 minutes. I stayed for about 30 minutes, choosing to leave early since shower space is limited and I like to be considerate of others. The workout itself was excellent, and being in the water felt really good. The showers, however, were not great--hair on the floor and a general "public park" feel, even at 10:30 a.m. I was glad I wore water shoes. On the plus side, the water temperature and the very hot shower afterward were appreciated. The instructor mentioned that this is her business and encouraged people to connect on Facebook (with a profile photo), and it's clear she's very talented. Overall, despite a few logistical and cleanliness issues, I'd go back again--and next time, I'd happily pay the $3 when I'm in town.

Then the lifeguard switched a bunch of times. She was able to go on the side all those times. And she was tall enough all those times also. And then there lifeguard who didn't let her and said she was too short. I let him know that she was a really strong swimmer and that she could touch the bottom of the pool. There was this one kid who was in line in front of her and he let her go was the same height as my daughter. And then the lifeguard Lucas said my daughter was too short. Even if she was the same as other girl that went in front of her. Her hair was what was making her taller. And he said the hair on her head counts. So I put my daughter's hair up in a bun and he said well that doesn't . She cannot go on the slide. That is what got on my nerves. We will not be going back to splash zone again if it has anything to do with that lifeguard.

I went for aqua aerobics. These signs were on the wall for motivation.
