Group Visits
Spontaneous use allows guests to come play,
swim, skate or exercise daily from 9 a.m. – 9 p.m.,
any day of the week.
To ensure enjoyment for all guests, school group
guidelines have been created outlining that
large student groups of more than 20 should be
divided into smaller groups and rotate through
the various spontaneous use activities.
When planning your group visit please note the
wave pool is very popular and capacities can be
reached at any time.
