Do your research
We made a special spot in our vacation to stop here. We were rather disappointed. There is no surfing attraction as pictured here and on Facebook. After less than an hour there they closed the water slides/lily pads/zero entry pool. It was the color of swamp water. The “lap pool” wasn’t a lap pool. It was whacked and stacked with kids. The other attractions quickly overfilled and it was wall to wall people. We ended up leaving after less than two hours there.

Just adequate .
Staffed mostly by teens and run by the city government . Customer service is not a priority. The last time I visited in 2013 many of the water features were broken. The sandbox area was full of broken plastic pieces from the sand toys. You literally have to smuggle snacks. They look through all of your bags to make sure that you don't byo. The problem with this is the parent and tot swim time starts 2 hours before the concessions even open. Clearly they are oblivious to the fact that little kids need snacks and drinks. I'm sure they would tell you you can exit and walk to your car to retrieve a snack and then come back in. Which is totally ridiculous. Either make snacks available or don't forbid them.
