The water park itself was definitely geared more for kids which was nice, not as overwhelming as great wolf, but there was SO much chlorine. Our kids, and even the adults couldn’t stop coughing after being in the pool area for a while. I think if they had better ventilation it would improve that. Pools were clean. Unfortunately , when we folded out the sofa bed, we found an empty bag of popcorn and a pair of men’s underwear :/. When we notified the front desk, no one really seemed to care . That was gross and disappointing .

Water park is nice and clean. Traveled with kids ages 2-11 and they all enjoyed it. Its easy to watch the kids from all the tables that are set up. Nice an open so you can see all the areas of the water park. Breakfast was great too. the pancake maker was a hit!

The park is great and would be perfect except the chemicals were way too strong. Our kids all got coughs from the strong chemicals in the air and water and were finding it hard to breathe in the water park. They got itchy and dry skin worse than we've ever had at other water parks. We've been here before and loved it, this time was not good. No parent wants to see their kids wheezing like that.
