Great place to cool off on a hot summer day! We visited mid-day during the week and there were hardly any lines for the diving boards and water slides. The kids had a blast! Well worth the $6/person.

Excellent pool for a decent price. My kids had a lot of fun! There is a zero depth kiddie area. But the high dive was definitely a favorite!

This pool is the most amazing place for a summer day. The pools and deck area are super clean. There are so many things for kids to do. My 8 & 10 year olds played constantly for almost 5 hours. They love the high and low diving boards. They bounce between the climbing wall, waterslides, and pool areas constantly. And this year they LOVED going on the Wibit!The snacks at the concession stand are quick and very reasonably priced.The entire staff is responsible and alert. They do their job with kindness. The director was present and visible throughout the day, stepping in to support the lifeguards and even getting into the pool to encourage a young swimmer to jump off the high dive. I was so impressed with her skills as a client-focused manager.This pool is almost an hour drive for us, but one I make happily because it is the absolute best!

I took my nanny kids here expecting the same quality experience I grew up with. Not at all what I expected. To preface this, I used to be a lifeguard so I understand pool safety, but I did not feel comfortable letting even my older child out of my sight and he could swim. The lifeguards at what appeared to be the most dangerous parts of the pool couldn't have been older than 15, and the rest of the lifeguards looked barely 15. None of them were scanning their zone and it was an exceptionally hot day and non of them even had umbrellas available for them to use if they wanted them. The bathrooms also smelled so awful I couldn't even use them. I was very disappointed. This pool used to be so well staffed and taken care of but it has obviously fallen apart recently.

We loved this place! Brought 5 kids ages 5-12. Unfortunately, 2 of them touched the blue and white ropes on the pool deck and got numerous plastic slivers in their fingers.

Great small town Waterpark with 2 slides for older kids and adults and 2 slides for younger kids. Has a climbing wall and 2 diving boards

I love this pool. The staff is always kind and professional. I only wish they would offer a military discount because the price jumped this year. If they lowered the price they might get more people during the week instead of it almost being dead.

Went for water aerobics at night, the lifeguard was uninterested in teaching us. Exercises were very boring and vague.Pool was very clean and so we're the changing rooms/bathroom.

This review is also for the Gaylord Park. The pool is a great place to go to when there is a gathering at the Gaylord park. Growing up in the area, I didn't appreciate it as much as I do now when I bring my kids back here for a family reunion. Truly a special place!

Very happy with it. Kids are having a blast. The big slides are bigger than Waseca. One of the best I've been to in South Minnesota

It is a nice place to swim but the people are not very good with communication. We were waiting for it to open and they made us wait past the time due to lighting that was not really there! They waited a while to tell us which really ticked us off!!

Very nice, clean. Has a park nearby with a picnic shelter. My nephew's birthday was a lot of fun.

The yellow slide had made my back switch sides and now I'm limping because of it

Great place for your family to have a break from work and go there to relax. The kids will be busy going on the slides, diving boards, friends, and a pool obstacle course!

I was so impressed with this water park. It was so big with so many different activities around. We brought five kids and they just had a ball

Lots of fun. Just wish there was a slide for 6 year olds. The little one is to little and medium and big ones are in too deep of water.

Great place to play on a hot summer day. The kids LOVED the big slides and the climbing wall.

Great place for the kids. Getting season passes is worth the money when you add up what they charge for a day pass.

Very good pool in general, just a few suggestions. Maybe a week or month long pass would be good, as well as a designated area for the swimming lessons.
