otter cove aquatic park

We went on a Sunday in July. This place was fantastic, the whole family had a blast. There is 3 huge splash pads, a deeper pool with diving boards, drop slides and lap lanes. There is a large family pool that has a zero depth entry. They have a toddler pool also with a zero depth entry. There are 2 tube slides and also a lazy river. Don't know about the food, didn't purchase any, but I saw some people with small coolers with snacks and drinks. I would contact the facility before bringing food though.

Very clean. It has a lazy river and two slides as well as some diving boards, drop slides etc. Food there is good too.

I loved the lazy river..The staff seemed cold and totally not that friendly..Kinda expensive and I think the thing that really stood out is the life guards seemed like robots...

It's a nice place to lay in the sun for a few hours if you don't mind paying for it. The lazy river is closed half to time due to the lack of lifeguards and there's no pool to really swim in. You can play on the slides and do laps; not much else besides. The slides and kid's toys keep the little ones occupied for a couple of hours, but if you're over 8 years old there's not much to do.

We had a great time with our young kids. The place is very clean and well maintained, including the locker/shower areas. I recommend the Twilight Swim (6pm to 8pm) for only $5 per person. The pools are definitely geared towards kids under 10, but the several slides and lazy river would be fun for teens and adults. You can ride with a young child in the lazy river rafts. We loved it!

This is a really fun place to take kids as young as 1 because they have a zero depth area as well as a splash pad that is a lot of fun..I think the price is too high for a regular outing but its a fun place for a special day out. They have great slides and even when its busy it doesnt feel too crowded.

Went here with our grandchildren (ages 1 and 3). There is a teriffic facility with two different areas - one is a splash park with a large sandy side play area very suitable for toddlers and preschool age. The second area is immediately beside the splash park but has a separate entrance. This has more activities such as a great water slide, "tubing river" and a swimming pool, all perhaps more appealing to school age kids. Probably less appealing to teens! It is all family oriented, clean (including washrooms), and overseen by extremely diligent, well trained lifeguards. Although there is a concession stand, many families bring in their own coolers with food,etc. No glass items allowed for obvious safety reasons. We like going around dinner time, when it is less congested and feels more laid back. Also, there are shorter, if any, lines for the water slide.

We recently were in the area and thanks to tripadvisor we checked out this place. We made it by the end of the day, on a Saturday, it had just enough kids to make it fun, but not too many that our toddler couldn't play. He had a good time and so did we. For the 45min or so we spend there, with a beautiful day, it worked out well for us. There are three main areas with different water features for the kids to play and a sand area. We didn't go to the sand area. It is not huge, so I can see how it could easily feel crowded with too many kids, but we were lucky and had a great time. I didn't use any other facility (food, restrooms, lockers) so I can't speak to those.We visit specifically the splash park, it is right next door to the main water park, which has bigger rides and pools for adults and older kids. I'm glad I saw this place here on tripadvisor.

This is a very nice, clean aquatic center that includes two pools, diving boards, drop slides and a lazy river. There is an entirely separate play area for toddlers, which is nice, but there is very little space for older children to swim and play. Also, beware if you have a short grade school child as they have very strict height restrictions when using the slides. Unlike many other pools, they do allow you to bring in coolers, but all food must be consumed in their concession area.

ST Charles is so lucky to have this place. It is particularly great for families with children under 6 yrs old but it has something for the whole family!
