This aquatic center sits adjacent from River Oaks Mall and is a great spot for the kids to enjoy a little fun in the sun. The lazy river, water playground and slide are perfect for little swimmers and the older ones too. The admission is free for ages 0-3, $5 for ages 4-12 and 13+ is $7. Also adults (whether you’re getting in the water or not) pay $7 too. Credit cards are typically accepted but bring cash just in case the machine is down. There’s ample parking and lounge chairs to relax while you watch your kids play.

There are a few guys cutting down all of the trees with a few chainsaws and bush haul. Funny to see as they have practically cleared the forest with such tools.

I loved it . We had a great time until it was closing time. We got locked out the locker room the kids was cold and ready to put on their dry stuff. One of the workers was very rude and disrespectful to us after we told her we werent informed its almost closing time. This was the first for time for our family coming here and spending my hard earned miney for my children and relatives to have a great time. If i knew we were going to be treated poorly we wouldve went to a motel with a pool instead no one wants to pay to be disrespected.

My family had so much fun.. cant wait till next summer...

A nice getaway for the kids on a really hot day.... in my opinion which is only my opinion I do not think that they should allow water guns in the Aquatic Center they have some kids that are very disrespectful and unruly and the parents have nothing to say until something happens I think that they need to have a little more stiffer rules in regards to as much running and disorderly conduct that some of those children had I know kids will be kids but sometimes you get those kids that go way too far and people just sit back and say nothing

It has the water slides swimming pool a lot of space for parking and great space for family reunions and picnics.

Great place to bring younger kids. 12 and under Id say. I have a 2 yr old and 8 yr old, boys and they have fun here. Big water slide that is fun, a small lazy river to float on and a small area for the kids to play in 2.5 foot water. Only reason I dont give 5 stars is because I wish they had a separate area for the bigger kids to swim without the tubes

Fun time for the whole family. Quaint little water park.

This place is a great value for water fun when you have kids. My family and I have been visiting for years. Over the years we have noticed a decline in the facility. They dont follow their own rules for proper swimwear.any adults are in the water with regular clothes. Also the facility is not as clean as it should be. The chairs are broken and in need of repair. I would go back to this facility but I just wish it was better maintained.

It was nice just wish i could have brought my babies stroller in

Its all depends on the lifeguards. If they have enough youll have a great time. If not then enjoy the forest reservation which has plenty of space picnic table and a Green Lake.

My 4 year old and I LOVED it!

The staff are very unprofessional and rude. Tried to get something from the concession stand and the GIRL wouldn’t come to the window, even after telling me she was open. They have kids working here so i guess that’s expected

The kids loved it. Big enough for them to have plenty of fun and small enough not to lose a child.

Love it !! Me and my family go every year

Great as ever. Clean and well kept.

We left before the big water slide was open, but the rest of the place was really nice. Convenient to the forest preserves, especially by bike.

Had a nice time with family. Not for older teens who felt Theres nothing to do. Spent time talking to children cursing or sticking up a middle finger at each other all why I was wondering Wheres their parents? Price not too bad. It was hot so it was crowded.

Great place for kids only thing you need to be able to bring your own food and drinks

The water park is great but jus a few issuesThe life guards are teens that are very disrespectful, they had a problem with my children that were 3 and told them they was too big to get on a the kitty slides( my twins are only 35 pounds) then again their attitudes doesn’t make the cut and once it was time for my children to go they made statements like (IM GLAD THEY LEAVING) or (if they wouldn’t leave I would’ve push them out) n it’s very funny that the other children who was leaving their floats in the middle of the ground they had nothing to say but my experience here was terrible and I will not be coming back anymore

Spacious fresh luchious area if you are planning a picnic family get together check it out and aqua park on site great for any outting

LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE!!!

Nice and clean. Affordable. I gave 4 stars because the slide was closed and only open for 20 mins twice in the 4 hours we were here.

I didnt go in, but watched from afar....looks like a REALLY fun place!!! The families seemed to be having a BLAST on the Hot and Humid day!!!

A great splash pad for kids of all ages. They even have a a lazy river.

Great place for the family to have fun

This is a great place for events lots of space and plenty of tables we loved it. The water park was a hit with the kids!

My 3year old loved it. It has several different activities for children of all ages. There are tons of life guards around. The concession stand doesnt sell food though. But the waterpark is amazing!!

Me and my family never been here looked at reviews on here and the rating was a 4 so I thought it was ok to go ! I was so wrong ! We stood outside in the blazing sun in a non moving line for 30 mins to get in . After we got into the park it was no order no rules was infourced ,which was very unsafe . The water slide there was no guard to monitor the kids that where going down it . in the lazy pool there where kids swimming under u while u where on top of the donout floating . One kid even flipped over because another kid was swimming under and popped up and flipped the other kids over and we had to pull the kid from under the water . The life guards where horrible ! There where to little girls there taking the donut tube stacking them and throwing them at other people I informed a life guard and he shrugged his shoulders like it was nothing he could do . I went to another life guard and ask where the kids allowed to swim under you while in the lazy river he said no but they just don’t listen . How is it you run a business with no structure? Rules must be put in to play to insure everyone’s safety . Me and my family could not enjoy our self because I felt it was not safe for my baby which we only came so he could of had a good time and that was impossible here . I suggest they seriously train the staff or get new staff . If nobody can follow rules I suggest you guys clear the lazy river and water park and explain the rules clearly and Stand on them and put people out if they don’t listen don’t risk the safety of others because someone else won’t listen . I can’t see me or my family coming back here at all they have a lot of improving to do

The staff was very rude when they were telling people what they were not suppose to do.

So I booked a party for my son. Over the phone they told me 200.00 bucks for everything unless I go over 20 people then I have to pay extra .I get there pay my 200.00 bucks. Then they asked me would I like add a lunch package with my deal. I said its already included. They said it wasnt .So based on the prices how am I paying 200 bucks for 20 people when its only 7 bucks per adult but it was a kid party so it still wasnt adding up. I called several times prior to my arrival Got hung up on and when they finally did answer again They were rude as hell. If I could of got my 75 bucks back I would of went elsewhere .Since I couldnt I stayed. I ask for a refund for the reminder of 125.00. Allowed the kids to play but the kids had fun .Will I be back probably BUT DEFINITELY NOT OF ME THROWING A BIRTHDAY PARTY. ITS NOT WORTH IT. They got my deposit under false advertisement . If I would of known what it was like (my first time being there) I wouldnt of never went in the first placeRESPONSE TO THE OWNERI booked the party over a month in advance. I booked it over the weekend and that following Monday they returned my phone call. I was told that 200.00 bucks that would cover admissions, food, and a semi party in each pool which was told to me before. Now I get there its another story. I dont recall her name but the woman who worked consession stand told me the samething in person yesterday. That told me the samething over the phone a month prior. Im not trying to be rude or anything but if I was going to spend 300 bucks It wouldnt of been at that establishment. It would been at Jaks Warehouse or so.Tried to respond to the email you listed above but couldnt So I put it on here

My daughter loves this place all day fun in the sun..

There is a great water slide, lazy river and splash pool! Its definitely kid friendly but watch them because you can go in and out at will.

Great place to take the kids on a hot summer day

NICE PLACE TO GO FOR ASPLASH PARTY

I really enjoy my self at the park.At the worlds largest stepper picnic.It was spectacular this past weekend.I seen people that I have not seen in years.It was a blessing,thank the good Lord,cause we all needed you their.Prayies dual to my Lord &Savior Jesus Christ.

I love everthing about this park at least its not as bad as i thought

My organization had a huge event over half the area was packed with our people. The grounds were full of animal waste every step. The kids couldnt play.. Please have the grounds keeper keep the area clean. They get paid from our tax dollars and the fees from the permits

Real nice for younger kids, life guards are very attentive, very clean, lots alternative play options for kids, picnic area nice, fishing area nice.

Well on 7-5-17 My granddaughter and a few of her cousins and friends came to celebrate my Granddaughter bday... Well A Kid pooped in the pool and my granddaughter freaked out and was never able to get back in the pool because she said it gross..I immediately go look for management.. Found manger told him of the situation and he did nothing about it.. So now Im furious cause my granddaughter is crying and wanna get in the pool but shes scared.. Did they care that they ruined her bday no they didnt because they didnt do anything about it until I started to ask for upper management...It needs to be a rule that if small babies gonna get in that pool they need on swim diapers.. I have videos and footage of the employee putting the poop in the garbage next to the door where you enter...Im over this place and it was my first and last time going..Oh and they never CLEANED THE POOL CAUSE THE MANAGER SAID IT WASNT LOOSE POOP.. Smdh

Its grate at least when I am there zorry for all the peole that go when it is someones bday and receives bad attitude luck
