This place is great for families! We have had passes for as long as I can remember!! (Maybe 10 years?!?) I have watched many renovations over the years and really respect them!!! (There was a period in time where we wouldn't let our son hang at "adult corner" by the mushroom pool-- all the pitchers of beer made for crazy times there!!!) my kids LOVE it. We go weekly in the summer. It is awesome if you can go in a weekday! The weekends are packed and I avoid them for that reason. I have raised three kids at this park and never had a bad experience. (Once we had shoes stollen but... That is it in about 100 visits!)
If you are a pass holder, you get buddy passes to take other friends and families/- this is awesome! You also get souvenir cups for .99 refills!!! We pack lunches and snacks usually! In terms of park food, they have potato patch fries which are awesome as well as many other selections! You can easily have fun on a budget!!!! If you plan to come twice a year get the passes!!! The perks make it worth it!!!
The slides have long lines on the weekends. If you have little ones park by wet willies and stay around there and the baby pool... Splash park, slides wave pool-- lots to do!!!!
