East Lansing Family Aquatic Center: what do users think?
Don't Go: Never open when they should be.
Christina W: Love this place so much! Really inexpensive nice fun place to bring my nieces and nephews for some good fun in the sun! And for me to cool off to. Its a really nice place and they keep the facilities taken care of as well as the life guards paying close attention to everyone in the pool. Highly recommend!Visited on Weekend Wait time Up to 10 min Reservation recommended Not sure Price for adult entry $11–15 …More
Erin B: Had my car broken into at this location. It would have been nice if there were cameras!Visited on Weekend Wait time 1 hr+ …More
Cirea Strode: Great place for some water time with the family.! This is newly remodeled and it’s awesome. They have water slides for all ages. There are areas for younger and older children. Great life guards. Food for purchase with a card. Great price. It does get crowded so I would suggest arriving at open if you’re planning a full pool day. Bring your own towels!! The facility was clean and easy to get around.
Melissa Lewis: Kids had a great time. Clean and well kept place. The admission was affordable for 3 and the concessions were a nice bonus.
Jared C: Great time here; would have been 5 stars, but not enough seating for the capacity allowed.
Satara Johnson: It was nice. Very crowded, but the toddler area was calm enough.
kathy dobson: Loads of fun for kids and watching them!!! Had a blast!!! Wonderful!!!!
Lydia Tang: We were really excited to visit the newly renovated aquatic center but were disappointed by a few aspects: 1. It's really far out of town. This is really not accessible for the community. 2. At $10 per person, it can make a family visit much too expensive, again, taking it out of reach for broad community engagement. Purchasing the $60 10-visit pass makes it more palatable but is a high price threshold for a lot of families. 3. There's only one little slide for younger kids, there's not much stimulation within the pool. 4. There is not any shade at all in the outdoor pool. Since the entry price is so high, we planning to stay all day and, even though we used sunscreen, we got terribly sunburnt because of the lack of shade in the pool. We did appreciate the life vests in so many sizes and the zero depth entry for the pool as an inclusive and accessible design.
Alyssa Slocombe: This place was fun we stayed for 4 hours the kids never got tired. It's only $8.00 for residents. Highly recommend
Lindsay: Love this place for little kids! Very Family friendly. CASH ONLY for the food and drinks.
Beneto Desamoto: What is there to say about the Aquatic Center well what can I not say great place great time my kids and wife love it to death as well as I do we've been there coming there for years when we got excited and we found out that it was open we were there multiple times this year and plan on going back again way to go glad it's open
Kathryn Shaw: We love coming here to swim. It’s a highlight of our summer. The East Lansing Aquatic Center is an upbeat, family friendly and welcoming place to be with well trained life guards and great customer service. It’s our favorite local pool.
Todd Vander Galien: They did a great job on the Repairs
Jon Summers: While the facility itself looks really nice, is clean, and well maintained, sadly my family’s experience there was not the pleasant, relaxing one I was hoping for. This is because of some irrational and draconian rules in effect at the aquatics center. The first one that surprised and bewildered me was a rule that no one is allowed to wear life vests in the deeper side of the pool, regardless of age or height, even when accompanied by a supervising adult. This seems very backward and illogical to me (why force kids to be less safe by having to take off their life vests in deeper water?). This was particularly disappointing since the shallow end is very shallow, mostly only a foot or two deep. It is always safest to wear a life vest, regardless of swimming ability, and my two kids prefer and insist wearing them in any pool or lake even though they have completed swim lessons.The second thing I really disliked about the Aquatics Center was how the life guards would whistle and yell loudly at anyone using the frog slide who might be ever so slightly over 48” - constantIy. I understand the desire to keep big kids off the slide for the safety of younger kids, but my sons were just barely over 48” (very tall for their age, 99th percentile for height) and were too scared and unwilling to try the large slides designed for 48”+. Those near 50” should have a choice on which slide they are personally ready for instead of having a strict height cutover; particularly on less busy weekdays where congestion is not an issue and the height difference is very minor. The policy assumes every kid who is 48” tall regardless of age is emotionally ready for the large slides; this is not inclusive.It was also very annoying having to constantly hear life guards yelling and whistling from the other side of the pool every other minute or so about it. If it is that important that kids slightly over 48” never use the slide, there should be a staff member positioned next to it so at least the whole pool doesn’t have to hear the constant scolding while they are trying to relax and enjoy themselves.It was not busy the mid-week day we came; never more than 3-4 kids total (including my two kids) in the frog slide area, all behaving well and close in age, so the heavy-handed constant rule enforcement from the life guards was unwarranted and just leached away what little fun we might have had.Because the deep end was off limits due to no life vests allowed rule, and because my kids were too scared of the big slides, the smaller slide was the only attraction left to them, but because of the arbitrary max height restriction, even that was off limits. This was really disappointing since they really enjoyed the frog slide and it was a good fit for them emotionally, but it only lasted a few minutes before a lifeguard came over and kicked them off because of their arm band, despite being only a couple inches too tall.I feel like we got ripped off given the hefty $11/person entrance fee that only allowed us to sit bored in shallow water simply because my kids are tall for their age, like to wear a life vest while swimming, and as a result don’t fit into the rigidly enforced “one size fits most” policies that don’t allow for any exceptions or flexibility.We had far, far more fun as a family this summer locally at Lake Ovid and Hawk Island (both free or very cheap), and Michigan’s Adventure water park.
Samantha Nesbitt: We all had an amazing time! The concessions were great priced as well. It was a Saturday visit so it was very busy but lines moved quick and we never had an issue finding a good spot to swim. We will definitely be back!
Jack Bowder: Awesome water park has a bunch of good slides for kids diving board, Splash pad concession stand and it's reasonably price. $11 per day for non Lansing residents
