Menolly Hart
Came on a Monday in November and basically had the park to ourselves. Very kind staff!
Erin Vaughan
Nice water park. 4 fun slides for older kids and tons to do for little kids! Adults can enjoy too since the water is warm from the hot spring - 1st time I’ve joined on all the slides in along time! Plenty to do for a few hours, even for older kids - my son wanted to go back. You get a view at the top of the slides as well.

Denice Ney-Lugo
Nice, clean waterpark. The have a tobogan slide and circle slides which were great for the kids. There are two large swimming pools and the water is very warm. The grounds are beautiful for a picnic, it's very green. The bathrooms and showers are clean. A great place for family fun. We went during the week and there were not a lot of people there.
Linda Cole
Absolutely gorgeous, very clean, great place to bring kids. They have a restaurant and you are able to buy beer on the property( you can not bring in alcoholic beverages). You may bring snacks and drinks.
