The kids' area deserves special mention - it's designed with toddlers and early elementary ages in mind, featuring smaller slides, shallow water, and plenty of interactive water toys. Parents can actually relax a bit here since the water depths are manageable. Food options cover the basics with burgers, pizza, and snacks.
