We love this place! On a cold, winter day, coming here feels like a mini vacation! It's the largest indoor wave pool in the USA. Buy your tickets on your phone and just show your downloaded pass at the gate it get in!

Wow, how cool! I really liked it. To be honest, this place was very good. My friends and my children loved it. The food is affordable, not expensive. The girl serving the churros was very friendly. The water was good. Everything was very nice.
