Pro Tips
- 1.Visit during early morning (8-10am) or late afternoon (after 5pm) when temperatures are cooler and crowds are lighter, especially on weekdays.
- 2.Bring swim diapers for babies and toddlers as they are required, plus towels, sunscreen (reapply frequently), and a change of clothes for everyone.
- 3.Pack water shoes as the ground can get extremely hot during peak sun hours, and the textured surfaces are easier to navigate with footwear.
- 4.There are shaded seating areas nearby where parents can watch, so bring a book or snacks while kids play, but shade is limited so arrive early to claim a spot.
- 5.The Marina Promenade has clean public restrooms and changing facilities nearby, making it easy to freshen up before or after water play.
