Pools & Splash Pads Currently Closed for the Season

As we prepare for the 2026 season, please note:

Swim lesson registration will open on May 23, when the pools reopen. Registration will open online at 8:00 AM on that day.

The minimum age for swim lessons at outdoor pools is 5 years old.

 

To accommodate all guests, a two-hour time limit may be enforced in pool and water play areas once maximum capacity is reached. Guests will receive a color-coded wristband upon entry, and rotations may be initiated at a minimum of every two hours.
