Also there is a little kids area perfect for smaller kids or kids with disabilities. The first life guard in that area made kids who were too big leave. The second like guard who came let an entire high school dance team over take the area even though they were clearly over a foot too tall. I think he let them stay because he was a good looking guy and he knew all the girls thought he was super cute and kept flirting with him. Also the snack shack took about a half hour for fries. My stars are basically just for the price. It was a good deal.

I would say we definitely received value for the money we spent! We stayed at the attached hotel (which did not impress me, see my separate review for them) so we hit the amusement park right at opening at 10am. We enjoyed the attractions and arcades until dinner time, then we went back to the room, changed clothes and hit the water park until about 9pm. My granddaughter was on sensory overload the entire day. Never a dull moment for her. The reason I deducted a star from what otherwise was a 5 star experience? Their pricing for children is unfair in my opinion. It is based on age (e.g. kids "X" and under pay less) when it should be based on height. My granddaughter is quite small for her age. Because of this, she was shut out of many of the attractions. Which I totally understand and agree with for safety. However....we had to pay full price for her even though she could not enjoy a quarter of the attractions. They really should consider changing their policy to "kids under 40 inches pay less" type pricing instead of basing it on age. Since height is really what determines what they can and cannot enjoy here. But, despite this set back, the three of us managed to have a GREAT day at this park. Would I go back there? Oh...heck ya! And I would suggest you do likewise.

Update: Vanessa from Triple Play finally contacted my wife today…read more What is frustrating is that her own message confirms exactly why this situation has been such a mess. She stated that their Sales Manager had a couple digits mixed up in Allison's phone number when he tried calling earlier in the week. That means Triple Play publicly claimed they attempted to reach out and had not received a response, while the real issue was that their own staff had the wrong number -- a phone number they had access to all along through the event planning process. So again, this was not simply "confusion between pass types." This was poor communication, poor follow-through, and poor handling of a group event involving children and families. First the arcade credit issue was not handled correctly at the event. Then the follow-up was mishandled. Then it was publicly framed as if we were not responding, when in reality they had mixed up the phone number. I do appreciate that Vanessa finally spoke with Allison and that they are now working on refunding the remaining arcade credit. That is what should have happened from the beginning. But the fact remains: our group spent over $2,000, the girls were let down in the moment, we had to pay the $225 ourselves to make it right for the kids, and the follow-up only happened after multiple public responses and updates. I am glad they are finally taking steps to correct part of it, but this entire situation still shows why I would strongly warn anyone planning a group event here to get every single detail in writing, verify every promise before arriving, and make sure you know exactly who is responsible if something goes wrong.

We visited the Southside Family Aquatic Facility on a Saturday afternoon and unfortunately had a…read moredisappointing experience due to a rigid and unyielding ticket policy. Our group was split into two parties: the first half (two adults and two children) arrived around 2:30 PM and were able to purchase tickets and enter without issue. The second half of our group (one adult and two young children) arrived shortly after at 3:00 PM, unaware that tickets had sold out for the day. Since none of us had purchased tickets in advance, they were denied entry despite arriving only 30 minutes later. What made the situation particularly upsetting was that several families were visibly leaving the facility as we spoke with staff. We asked if it would be possible for our friends to take the spots of those who had exited, but were told this was not allowed under any circumstances. Even when a kind stranger inside the park offered to give up their spots for our group, the staff refused to make any accommodations. The policy was presented as inflexible, with no room for compassion or situational discretion--despite two very disappointed young children crying at the gate. To make matters worse, an employee (likely a teenage staff member) seated behind the front counter repeatedly told the front desk attendant "no" each time she asked if an exception could be made, leaving her to be the bearer of bad news without offering any personal engagement or empathy. We understand the need for rules and capacity limits, especially for safety. However, it seems entirely reasonable to re-evaluate a system that prevents entry even when space clearly becomes available. A little flexibility or humanity--particularly when dealing with families and small children--would go a long way.

This is a gorgeous park and botanical garden bustling with people and butterflies and life!…read moreWe stopped here to have some lunch under the covered picnic area and were surrounded by green grass and the sound of children playing at the nearby playground. There was a cool breeze through the canopies on a very warm day and garbage cans to dispose of our leftovers. When we stumbled upon the gorgeous flower gardens, I could not believe it. There were multiple gardeners working outside of the conservatory and although it was closed, I can't imagine that there was anything more beautiful inside than what we saw outside. We were able to sit over at the benches and rally enjoy the fountain and manicured flowers. There was a large, veryrude family that did come through who wanted to scream at their kids and then try to take photographs in front of the flowers like a happy family. Then allow their smaller children to stomp through the flowers and scream loudly while they stared at their phones. And there were of course at least two young ladies posing for "the gram" that picked flowers and made obnoxious gestures in ridiculously skimpy clothes... I guess those types of things can't be helped these days and they are no reflection on the garden itself, just be prepared for your peace to be interrupted. We also made a quick stop at the Rose garden which I did not find to be quite as beautiful but smelled lovely... There were just too many bugs and it was there were just too many bugs and it was far too warm to spend much time there. If I lived closer to this park, I would come everyday to listen to the sound of the fountain and appreciate the beauty of the topiaries and flowers and I would recommend a stop here for anyone who appreciates the beauty of nature.
