Nice time , easy to find with gps. Take all item youd like to have for the day with you once they hit max capacity they wont let you run out and come back in youll have to wait in line

Average for the price. We arent locals, so it was more expensive, and I dont think worth it for a return trip. Might be worth it for a locals price.Pros: Can bring in your own food. Lazy River which is small, but moves fast and what my boys (7, 9, 10) spent the most time doing. Overall area is small, and seating all around outside, so you can see most areas from any spot.Cons: Water and almost all seating were very dirty (opening day and within 30 minutes of opening, so it shouldnt be that disgusting already!). Can only do swim test during adult swim, which is need for deep water swimming and use of diving board. Swim test requires backstroke (who uses back stroke in the 5 feet from the diving board to the wall)?! Free swim area is very small.

Always very crowded. The worst snack bar. But for kids 0-12 years its AWESOME. Big slide, diving board and lacy river

Was on vacation visiting family in the area and this place was fantastic. The kids loved it and the adults did too! The lazy river was so relaxing and they evenmake the kids take a 15 min break every hour so the parents can have a nice relaxing break in the water as well. Definitely recommended for a nice relaxing fun time for everyon! Enjoy!

This place is pretty awesome. Plenty of space to swim and play. 2 different size slides, a little baby slide, lazy river, and much more! I only wish that Albemarle county residents fee was so much higher than city residents.

Me and my family always have a great time every time we come here. The pool is clean and staff is usually friendly. We come to the Onesty Family Aquatic Center as much as we can all summer long.

Fun place if you can get past the apathy of the staffWe hosted my daughters 11th birthday party here today. The facilities were great but the staff were completely disorganized and unfriendly. I was supposed to receive paperwork before the big day. Received none. Then the lifeguard treated me like it was my fault. Unhelpful, unwelcoming, and I got the distinct feeling that if someone dared to drown, they wouldnt even bother you to drag your body out of the pool for your family. Disappointing.

This place is great for kids young and old. Although were travelers passing through its a nice, affordable city service.

This place has something for all ages. Little spouts for babies, slides for kids, a lazy river, places to climb, a dump bucket, and a deep end for diving and taking laps. Swimming lesson are an option, I believe.You can get a family pass for just over $100,which saves you money if you think youre gonna go more than 9 times. Each visit without a pass costs roughly $10 if you live in the city (and pay taxes which support the pool,) $12 per person if you live outside the city.Has breaks for 15 minutes every hour so that those over 18 can have some time without being splashed or kicked.

Nice place. We were there one day on our family vacation. Not from the area, were from PA. It was fun. The only downside was the life guards and rules were a bit strict and we felt we were being watched like hawks the entire time and couldnt relax and have fun. My boys got in trouble a couple times. It made us tense and uncomfortable. Not exactly our idea of a fun family pool day on vacation, but it was OK. Not horrible. I wouldnt go again if we ever visit the area again just bc of the strictness of it, but the pool itself was very clean, lots of fun things for the kids to do, staff and life guards were nice enough.

I am giving this place 5 stars because my children love it. This is there favorite pool. There is a water slide, a huge bucket that dumps water a random times, a jungle gym to climb across, a diving board, this pool has something for children of all ages. As a parent I dont like this pool because there are never enough seats, or places to set. The lifeguards are great and and really keep an eye on all the children. This pool is really really nice it just needs more seating, and a better snack area.
