Explain to me why your child price is cut off at 14 years and older?!?!?!?!? Totally was not expecting for my child to be considered an adult. It's bad enough that spectators get charged. Was here Sunday was charged appropriately.

Reading five stars because the overall organization of this environment was very nice. The music is great. The only downside to it is. There’s not a lot of deep spots. You can’t drive, so it takes the way to some of the fun for the adults, but for the kids is an amazing and wonderful experience

Pros: the pool was really nice, the kids loved the playground and jump pillows. The lake was relaxing to take a float on. It was quiet at night and very family friendly. Cons: the bathrooms were not very clean. The one closest to the lake was very dirty and needed updates. The bathroom near the pool was updated but not very clean. I saw someone go in and clean the bathroom but they chose the busiest time of day to do so (when there was an outdoor concert and there were a ton of people at the pavilion) and there wasn’t much of a difference when they were done.
