The waterpark was fantastic! Pools and the air temperature in the pool area aren't always warm enough for people to be comfortable, especially little ones. This place was warm (almost too warm at first but you do get used to it) and the pool temperature was perfect! The indoor hot tub was hot and the outside hot tub was just perfect.
