Daily admission fees apply (typically $3-6 per person depending on residency status), with discounted punch cards and memberships available. Ample free parking is available on-site, and the facility is fully accessible with family changing rooms available.

Open year-round with consistent hours, though some programs follow school-year schedules (September-May). Summer brings expanded youth camps and special pool activities. Check ahead for holiday closures on major holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day.
