My son had a great time at Whoa Zone at Holly Recreation Area. We have something similar at the…read morerecreation park minutes from our house, but he is a years or two away from feeling comfortable enough to go on that blow-up. The Whoa Zone is perfect for every age. They have 3 distinct areas, one for toddlers, and two for tweens/teens to adults. While you wait for your jump time, you can visit the playground nearby or play in the water. One thing that you should know in advance...you will pay for an hour and jump for 50 mins. Five minutes of the extra 10 mins is used for a safety training. I am sure it explained all of that on the website when I bought the jump times, but I was taken by surprise when I got there. Again, could have been my mistake, just thought I would point it out. With all that said, 50 mins was plenty for my kiddo. If you have younger or more timid kiddos, I suggest reserving an early jump time since they are less popular and will give them plenty of space to get comfortable. The jump times after lunch are pretty packed. Overall, he had a great time and the lifeguards are very alert and aware. The cost is not crazy in comparison to other kids entertainment. We paid full price for a jump slot and if you purchase another slot later, like after lunch. It is half price. Two slots is plenty. We will be back next summer!

Typically Everybody gets an hour session on the "island" which is $20 for the hour. An hour was perfect nothing more nothing less. The obstacle course is actually fun and pretty big. I was happy that it is as shown in pictures in ads. The surrounding beach area was nice as well. There were grills there, bathrooms, a small beach area, they also have kayaking, paddle boarding, etc. you are wearing life jackets the whole time and there are about 3/4 lifeguards out there while your on the island. 10/10 would come again P.S Need a Michigan recreation passport for your car $17 for the whole year cash only

Great place to take the children on a warm summer day and the staff is always young but super friendly and helpful.

We have our fair share of splash pads in Chicago, but this wins! I took my 9 and 6 year old boys…read morehere to meet a friend this past weekend and they absolutely loved it! The friend we were meeting is a local so she was able to get a reservation for the 11am-1pm time slot, which is apparently reserved for locals. It wasn't too crowded and was the perfect activity for a very hot summer day. My 6 year old was a bit fearful of the giant bucket of water that pours on your head at first, although by the end of the 2 hours he was standing under it welcoming it. My 9 year old and his friend jumped right in and couldn't get enough of all the slides and water fun. They were probably some of the older kids there, but still young enough to enjoy the fun. There's also a more babyish area to the side for younger kids who aren't into the slides and giant bucket. They also get 5 stars for cleanliness, including the bathrooms and changing rooms. I had to show out my coffee when we arrived since no food or drink is allowed inside the gate, but that's probably how they manage to keep it so clean. My sons are asking when we can go to Michigan just to go to this again so I can imagine if we were locals we would be there quite a bit.

Thankfully, it…read morehas been open long enough now that you just have to reserve a couple of days ahead with the forecast being more accurate. This splash pad is great for all ages. There are sections that lends to smaller kiddos, but truly, the whole pad is appropriate and entertaing enough for toddlers to tweens. Even the adults were enjoying themselves. The addition of water slides makes this splash pad the best in the area for older kids. There are changing areas, restrooms, several tables and benches in the shade for parents. Today, it is 93 degrees in the sun and I am really comfortable under the shade of a table. The time limit per session is 2 hours, which is really perfect. You can't bring in your own snacks/lunch, so any longer would be tough for my kiddo. We will be back for sure!

But. The staff are horrible, actively hostile to swimmers. They stand on the shore and scream that "you shouldn't be near the rope!" meaning the roped off swimming area. Um, hello? We swimmers have maybe 1% of the whole of Mott Lake to swim in, and they have nothing better to do than yell at people who are swimming close to--but not beyond--the designated area. If the concern is that someone could drown, the water's over one's head even halfway to the buoy. Plus them standing on the shore screaming won't rescue anyone while a swimmer absolutely could.

It was our first time visiting the East Lansing Family Aquatic Center. I was with some family from…read moreout of town so we needed a place to take the kids to burn off some steam. Sounds like a great spot right? Right! Unassuming from the outside, it was all business and professional courtesy once you entered through the gates. Here's the thing with aquatic centers. Lifeguards are paramount! We can all imagine a scenario when security and lifeguards are lacking, so to see it in action was incredibly impressive. On the day we went - near the end of our stay, we witnessed an episode where all the whistles blew, lifeguards stood up at their stations and pointed to the spot where someone was struggling in the water. In a matter of seconds, lifeguards converged and basically took care of business. Now these are late teens to early twenty-something kids. And to see this type of urgency, and trained behavior for the safety and security of their patrons was, well - encouraging to say the least. Once we got home it was decided that, based on our first experience, this won't be our last trip to the East Lansing Family Aquatic Center. Well done staff! You came through with stars!

However, back at the hotel, which is owned by the casino, there was no information given regarding the fact they have NO breakfast, along with the restaurant and store closing by 7 (contrary to the internet saying 9 pm). Fire alarm also went off while getting ice, had to walk out of building and stand in parking lot. Also, none of their vending machines were up and running despite appearing otherwise, and had no body wash in the bathroom. Either bring your own soap or use the bar of hand soap on the counter to wash up. Lastly, the waterpark is small and underwhelming, to say the least. If you like big slides, there's only one, so don't have high expectations. Would not recommend staying here. Probably going to stay at the casino the entire time if/when we return.
