Really nice indoor aquatic center with two 25-yard lap pools. One of the pools has a zero-depth…read moreentry ramp for those with mobility issues. Both pools are lightly used in the early afternoon, if you can get here before 3pm you will have your own lane and maybe even an entire pool to yourself. They have locker room facilities (bring your own lock), showers, and restrooms. Drop-ins are $5, there's a lot for parking.

We enjoyed taking classes here at Foss. A lot of the staff were great. The two major pitfalls are…read morehow crowded it is. Granted the "classes" are about 3-4 kids average but the classes are all at the same time as everyone else and in a small section of the lane. This is not conducive to learning for the other pitfall, the overstimulation and inability to accommodate children with special needs. Trying to learn to swim in a loud, busy and crowded pool is daunting. No dig at the staff, they are doing the best they can given the circumstances presented. Maybe Foss can carve out some time and space for kids with non-neurotypical or special needs.

Great methodology for teaching kids how to swim. Very effective at getting results. We've tried…read moreother swimming programs for our son but didn't have the same results. Many of the teachers are great. Our 4 year old enjoys it and looks forward to the lessons. The draw back is it feels so crowded and cramped. The medium sized pool has 8 sections going simultaneously. It is loud. The locker rooms are so tiny and crowded. Not much privacy. The parking lot is crowded, too.

We have been here twice now, and both times my son and I had a blast !! It is super affordable,…read moreright next to the St. Paul police station- (so it feels very safe), plenty of parking, room to do different activities in separate pools, and did I mention the glizzys at the snack bar?! Only $8 for adults and kids under 2 years old are free! There is a couple mandatory 25 min breaks, but it's a good time to grab a bite to eat. The splash pad stays open if you get too hot or for it the little ones that can't sit still for very long! (Like my son lol). Come early if you want a foldable chair for sun bathing, the place fills up very quick, but there's always usually some room in the back grassy area for you to lay down a towel and cozy up with a good book. If you get hungry, run to the snack bar and they've got multiple options for hot dog toppings and even a meal deal with chips and a drink! The staff are always so kind and they also have life jacket rentals for FREE! (with admission) We will absolutely be spending more hot summer days here!

Dear Municipal Pool,…read more Thank you. I love you. See you next year. XOXO, Katherine B What is it that you want from your public pool? I want a fairly cheap entry fee and lots of seating and a decent sized pool. That's all. Highland has this, and more! Parking, shade, a decent bathroom and concessions. You can bring your own food in. Plenty of space for the little ones to play in the two small pools/splash pads. A good diving board for the bigger kids. (The drop slides aren't really drop slides per se, and they are best for shorter kids) A big water slide...that's truly only ok but who cares. A HUGE POOL. With a HUGE DEEP END. No lifejackets in the deep end, and still a large area where your tweens+ can easily touch. Bring a pool friendly throwing item. (no nerf, just light weight stuff that won't hurt if you get bonked. The lifeguards will tell you)

This pool is straight out of "The Sandlot". No big water slides, no cool water features, not even a…read morezero entry area. HOWEVER, for this small town, this pool is all you need for a hot summer day. Just like the sandlot, you come down, you jump in and cool off. All of the local kids pretty much spend the entire summer here and their friends are here too. Again, nothing fancy but serves it's purpose. My kids love it.

Shoreview Community Center gets 5 stars! I went in not expecting much but I was blown away by how…read moremuch fun there was. The waterpark was the highlight. That waterslide with the lights and music? Awesome! It's a one of a kind experience. Beyond the waterpark the playground was also great. It's not your average playground; it's big, well designed and has tons of opportunities for kids to explore and play. What really makes Shoreview Community Center stand out is the community. They offer so much more than just a pool and playground. From the fitness center to the skatepark they have created a space for all interests and ages. It's clear they have invested in making a valuable resource for everyone.

If I could give this zero stars I would! I took my kids…read morehere for a simple swimming outing, but the experience turned into something really upsetting due to both the environment and the staff's lack of action. After swimming we sat in the seating area while I gave my kids some snacks. A visibly intoxicated woman sat next to us and began making inappropriate disturbing comments directed at my children. I initially tried to ignore her hoping she would move along but the situation quickly escalated. She stood over my infant in their car seat which felt threatening and completely unacceptable. I repeatedly asked her to back away from my kids because I had no idea what she might do in her condition. Instead of stepping in staff and security stood by and watched the situation unfold. Even as the woman continued yelling using profanity and attempting to get closer to my children who were clearly frightened no one intervened or made any effort to de-escalate or remove her. This place not only failed to provide a safe, family friendly environment but the complete lack of response from staff made the situation far worse. It was an extremely distressing experience and I would not recommend this facility to families expecting basic safety and support.

Good place and not too far to cool off in the summer heat…read more Nice, friendsly and helpful employees working here. Mainly younger kids working here and young lifeguards who are helpful and respectful. Price isn't bad. It's $7.00 a person to get in which is very reasonable for all day. We went right when it opened at noon and managed to snag two of the last lawn chairs which can be hard to come by. There is also grass if you miss out on the coveted lounge chairs. Kiddie area has the sprinklers and three smallish slides, very small lazy river, the main area has a pool and is close to the jump off fabricated cliffs, rock wall and a diving board. This is a nice place to cool off. I recommend getting there early. When we left around 230 the lines were severe.. Would venture back...
