The water park was fun. Great for all ages. Water slides, a pool with basketball hoops, wave pool for the the older kids. Two nice size kiddy sections with smaller slides and other fun things. Life guards were watchful. Room was very clean. Bring food and drinks as they were overpriced. Great experience overall.
