Pleasantly surprised by this gem! So many areas of play for so many different ages. Yet small enough that I felt safe letting the kids roam. Park nearby looked awesome as well - we hope to visit again soon.
Center is great and clean, very very nice, fun for kids, perfect water temperature, but food is trash as always, no vegetables, nothing healthy, my little 3 y son got sick because that pizza was undercooked and poor quality, he ate 2 pieces already before I try it. 2nd day complaining about stomach pain and have little fever, ( usually we have no problems with stomach)Please put some rice and veggies, so kids can have at least something to eat there!!
Just started going here summer ‘18. One of the best pools in the suburbs, in my opinion. Well maintained, lots for kids (and adults) to do, and very attentive lifeguards. The atmosphere/scenery/waterfalls make you feel like you’re in a hidden tropical island cove. The adult slides are legit. Highly recommend.
Last Saturday we had such a great experience at the water park. So we decided to come today to enjoy the park. Unfortunately after we paid $37.50 to enter the park the thunderstorm started we were held at the shelter waiting for the storm to pass. We requested a rain check or a refund but the manager was very rude and disgraceful and kept saying it is the policy and asked us to leave the park or he will call the police. The worst manager and management ever. No respect to any of the families that paid money and did not get to swim or not even got in the pool. How disappointed and disrespectful it felt that we were held hostages because we already paid the money but never got to use the park due to the weather yet we never got our money back A good management would give a rain check to any customer had to leave due to the weather.Shame on you! Shame on you.
Taking what they call as a safety break. Really just letting life guards swim for 1/2 hour. Never been to such a poor excuse to give all guards break at same time.
Splash bucket area for the kids, sand pit area, zero depth pool, a couple of slides. A little something for everyone.
My family had an excellent time. We hope to go there many more times next summer. Its super clean,and the water was perfect. Perfect temperature, perfectly clear. It was not too busy either. We had a blast!
Great water park but there is a bee or wasp or something infestation there
Perfect type of pool for kids! Huge, fun and has everything. However, way too expensive (I would expect to get in for half the price when Im there the last two hours before closing). Also, they dont sell anything good to eat there. So bring your own food!
THE. BEST.POOL.EVER!! Lots to do! Sand area Snack Bar Water slides they got it all!!
Always fun. Thank you to the Wheeling PD for a save and fun evening
Great place. Slides diving board. Lilly pads to cross with a rope. Huge bucket that can dump water in you. Kids had a great time. Would highly recommend it.
This is one of the best pool around that I know of clen family friendly and it huge
A great and affordable way to spend family fun time.
I have been going to and enjoying the Wheeling Aquatic Center for 25 years! Watched it being built and have many great memories. Bring all my friends, family and out of town visitors for a great time every time. Lucky to live here in Wheeling!
AWESOME!!! Super family friendly, lots of parking available, good snack food, & reasonable prices on everything. My 3 year old toddler had an absolute blast today. My wife & I also thoroughly enjoyed our day here as did the rest of our big group of adults & kids.
I like it because theres more to the water park there are lily pads and kids land were there is a bucket but the thing i did not like was there security because a man who was smoking marigu... yeah that and he was looking through bags and that they dont let coolers
Its a small version of a water park for locals, I love this place, my kids love it too. Its a little costly but worth it.
Please stay away. Its awesome for a Park District Pool, but less people would be better :)
Going there every year, love it. Kids are crazy about this place
Great lifeguards and fun family atmosphere. Play structures and attractions for children across age ranges.
First of all, their concession stand is awesome! They have buttered popcorn for $1.50 and a fresh, baked, hot, delicious chocolate chip cookie for only $2.00 (no tax included)! Also, good water park for its size. Has a water playground, body slide, tube slide, pool with basketball net and fake lily pads with net above, 2 drop slides, diving board, pool with kiddie slide, grassy area (just for camps), concession stand with seating area, locker rooms (men and woman), and I think thats it. I would recommend this water park!
Some staff members are strict while some are very nice. CERTAIN lifeguards will let you go down any position you want, depending on who it is, and what their mood is like at that moment. Its the blue slides at the entrance of the pool. Overall, my experiences here are great.
It was decent for little kids
It is nothing to eat: no salads,no vegetables,no grill compare to Vernon Hills aquatic center. They always close facility for one or two hours early!!!! This year they have increased the family membership is 30 doll up !!!!The radio or music is too loud!!!! I can’t sleep, study or even think because of loud music with not good quality!!! My kids can’t take a nap for 1 hour after swimming!
A nice and family friendly water park to bring your kids to.
Great for little and older kids. Pool has a decent snacks.
Its a great place for the whioe family, clean and fun. They also have swimming jackets for the little ones.
Really fun cute place. Definitely recommend it for kids
One of the best aquatic parks
Best time I ever had!!!
Best aquatic center Ive been to in the Chicago area. Really clean and friendly staff.
Had THEE most plesant experience the employees were polite & truly helpful.... DEFINITELY will be back.....Thank you Wheeling Aquatic Center....
Only getting a 3 because the water park is great. The people who work there are rude as hell. No one has manners. Is it really that hard to say thank you and youre welcome?!
Such a good experience. Staff is very friendly and professional.
Its really fun and safe the life guards are amazing . The pool water is not cold . Theres also a place to play in,Thats so fun!
