Family Aquatic Center

Had an absolute blast our first time checking it out! Went with my sister and our kids ranging from age 2 to 17 and everyone said they couldn't wait to come back. There is something for all ages. Love that you are able to bring your own cooler with food and drinks! They do also have a concession stand with hot dogs, personal pizzas, pretzels with cheese and ice cream etc. The HUGE umbrellas are really nice and provide shade for the entire family however if you want a spot under one of the several they have, I do recommend getting there early as they get taken fast. Planned on staying for a few hours but ended up staying the entire day! Can not wait to go back!

My favorite summer everyday places for swimming and playing
I missed coming to the Apple Valley aquatic center
I love the place and the staff and lifeguards are so helpful
Thank you for keeping the place safe

Than you
Have wonderful summer

Great place to relax and let kids have fun. Ample chairs and you can bring your own food and drink. Good wifi, Had a meeting call and connection was good for 4 hours I worked.

We love this place ,reasonable price, bring your own food and chair, kids have a blast you can be there for up to 6 hours what more could you ask for!!

Whole family had fun. Many different play areas, well-maintained facilities, super friendly staff.

Come early if you want an umbrella.

We had a great time! Come early and stay all day. There's plenty to do! We loved the lazy river on a hot day. Even mom got to try what we called the "toilet bowl" waterslide! This is definately a fun park!!

Lots of different water levels. Some shade but could use more. Good selection and decent prices at the snack bar. Efficient staff of almost entirely teens. And I was really impressed with the lifeguards who take their very important job seriously. Bring your own lock for lockers.

Very clean and open spaces for the kids. Picnic areas are nice, some are covered for great shade. Splash pad is fun too. I appreciated all the young life guards that we sincere in keeping our kids safe. Love this place and will be spending a lot of time here.

Very fun place. 2022, $12 per person, no discount for later arrival. 11am - 6pm

10 minutes before the hour, till on the hour there's a break where there is no swimming or slides. You can stand in line during this time and keep your place, but I'd recommend keep track of time and take a break.

You can bring in your own chairs and refreshments too, but there are some rules on that. No glass for example.

It was very safe, the lifeguards do a really good job keeping an eye on everything.

There are:
- 2 regular water slides
- 2 water slides where you use a tube
- after the tube water slides you can go right into the lazy river, lifeguards stand there and ask which direction you want to go and help push your tube in that direction
- 2 short but almost straight down water slides
- diving board
- regular swimming area
- zero depth area with waterfall things for young kids
- there's also a concession stand for refreshments and snacks

Only complaint was they didn't have enough tubes. It felt like they only had about 60% this year (2022) compared to of the amount they had in prior years.

Fun day of swimming! Kids loved all the water slides and the lazy river. I like that you can bring in your own food.

Wow I'm extremely impressed! We visited on vacation as a family. The place was clean, a ton of fun for our 4 year old, and us parents alike. We will come back, just my wife and I when someone can watch our kiddos. It was the first time I've been on a 🚽 bowl type ride. The staff was nice when I needed to be warned about the purpose of the ropes and seemed extremely well trained. It was a great time and we will be back. Thank you so much AV Family Aquatic Center team!

This is a great place to take the whole family. We brought all 5 of our kids and they all had a really great time. The only down side is that our youngest is only 8 months old and there really isn't a kiddy play area or kiddy pool. The concession stand had really good food and for a great price.

So far this Waterpark is the best one yet. Still have the rest fo the summer.

Our favorite waterpark this far. We actually drive aways to attend here. $13/ person for all day is a fantastic price.

We had a great time with my 13 year old and 6 year old. 6 year old was only able to do two of the slides, but she was good with them! Lifeguards were great!Definitely will be going back!

I just went here with my family of 6 and I was blown away at how many things we could do, the ample shaded seating (grass area included), the short wait times, and how clean it was. Even my son with Autism didn't complain about leaving too soon. We've been to a TON of water parks in the twin cities and this one takes the cake for all-around best for price + service.

Love the layout and variety of water activities! love the appeal to all ages!

Absolutely LOVED the slides and inner tubes! The Lazy River was fun. The whole pool has plenty of activity for kids of all ages, and it's great for adults, too!! You can bring in your own food as long as it doesn't need to be cooked or is inside glass. They have a concession booth with sweet treats and hot foods. The prices for that are a little high, but the low admission fees make it a little less painful for their costs. All in all, we had a great time for my niece's 7th birthday! We will be coming back!

We had a blast with our two kids. Plenty of different things to do for all age groups. The walk in pool is nice for slowly acclimating yourself to the water, but it gets nice and deep near the diving area. The water slides were a lot of fun, especially the ones where you ride a tube down. We took several trips down the lazy river, which offers a nice break from splashing around. Younger kids would enjoy the splash pad area as well. Will definitely go back again this summer!

I love how they have a concession stand and it's always clean here. The staff are always friendly too. I would say one thing that was annoying would be the locker system. You have to bring your own locks. Another waterpark I have been to, had us wear bracelets that opened our specific locker. All you had to do was scan your bracelet. Just a recommendation. I still give it 5 stars.
