When we arrived, the parking lot was completely full except for the handicap spaces. I do have a valid handicap parking pass from Florida, but I didn’t have it with me that day. I sent my daughter to ask a staff member what we could do, and they told her that if I parked in the handicap space without the tag, it wasn’t their liability or problem if I got a ticket — and the only other option was to park downtown.
Downtown parking would’ve meant a long walk back or me sitting in the car and missing the whole thing, which defeats the purpose of buying tickets ahead of time. The lack of accessible parking options and unwillingness to accommodate or even offer a solution was really disappointing.
I wish Halls Quarry had been more clear about the experience being geared toward younger children. We were visiting from out of town and bought tickets ahead of time, expecting more variety or engagement for older kids or teens — but it definitely wasn’t what we hoped for.
Most of the activities and setup seemed more appropriate for toddlers to maybe age 7. If you have older kids, they’ll likely be bored quickly. It would’ve been really helpful if this had been communicated more clearly on their website or promotional materials, especially for families traveling from out of town who are trying to plan their trip and spend their...
Read moreAttended a kids bday party. Umbrellas for tables were flying off. We realized the devices that hold them in place under the table were not filled with water. We were unable to twist them open. Called the manager over to tell him. He took the device into his office and came back and said he couldn't get them open and that "they have never filled them with water before". After explaining to him it has not been the first time renting from them and the devices were always filled with water, he offered to bring weights to hold the umbrellas down. 5 minutes later two life guards come with 10lb weights to place on the devices which helped none. So all of the party guests took an hour to get the device open and filled with water and place them in place to hold the umbrella up. At 6pm the manager comes to us and tells us we need to pack up because there are other renter at 6:30pm. We we're halfway packed and if he would have looked around he would have seen that. As we leave at 6:15pm and driving away I see the 6:30pm renter cleaning tables and setting up. I also see that the grabage was not emptied. It would have been nice to have the place at least empty the garbage for someone that is paying money to rent out. Last year our experience was great. This year not so much. We spent one hour doing someone else's job and enjoyed...
Read moreI've been going here since I was 12. The place has hardly changed. Still has murky water, but it is a retired rock quarry. Deepest at the high five is about 19'. Reasonable entry fee and great food court prices. It's always a blast whether for a few hours or all day. I spent many summers practically living here. Staff is very attentive and fun, they interact more than just for safety, you know they enjoy working there and want to have fun while enjoying watching families play. Great family place, or place to hang out with friends. They close the weekend before Batavia fall classes begin.I wish they would do more to keep the water cleaner. You definitely need to shower right after, but they keep the grounds clean. They are right off the bike trail. They have a lot of parking, but it is a very busy and popular place so it packs up quickly, and can create quite a walk both up...
