Recommended place for family fun day. There is free parking. You enter with daily pass and enjoy whole day. Water slide wasn’t open yet but my kids had lots of fun
It's the perfect place for kids to release stress on extremely hot or stormy days! We use it as a place for our kids to let off steam on long drive days. It's not cheap, but it's great to have the option of an indoor pool that's not affected by the weather. The pool is very satisfying, but the hot springs are just indoor and outdoor, there's no sauna or cold bath, and it's not a very special feature. By the way, you can only use the hot springs, but the rule is that you can't just use the pool. It's great that the facility has a free space where you can take a nap. As I mentioned in the colors, it's a very valuable facility overall!
In the summer, there is a set fee for both the pool and the hot spring. The fee is a little high, but it's helpful because you can come early in the morning and not have to wait in line. It's also nice that there are both indoor and outdoor lazy rivers!
Snacks are also sold, so you can eat in your swimsuit.
However, I do think there are far fewer lifeguards here than at other pools. I wonder if it'll be okay if something happens...
There are indoor and outdoor baths, and the open-air bath in particular was very pleasant with its open feeling! It's not very large, so if you go around 3pm it will be extremely crowded.
It's a great pool where you can enjoy the pool and then freshen up in the hot spring before heading home♪
