Highland Family Aquatic Center — Attraction in Largo

I've yet to take a gander or a dip at this neighborhood aquatic center. I am giving one star based on the very limited hours of what could be a cool, refreshing, fun and relaxed day. That is, if you could spend at least half the day. When you first look at the posted photos, the park appears well maintained, clean and for the most part, inviting. The reviews start off really positive, supportive and they almost entice you in.

However, after continuing to read the reviews fully, the establishment becomes a place that I definitely don't see the wasted time to pack for just a two-hour, refreshing frolic, let alone, the time gathering your kids in the car or a walk down. (That's probably a two hour event to do just that.) Eight dollars does seem a little much for just two, short operating hours. Why, when you can pay $5 for a day bus pass and head to the beaches and spend ALL day while your kids run, play, and splash with no time limit. Or, you can pay $3 (if it's still the same price) and go to the pool, for much longer, downtown St. Pete. I am sure that this aquatic center is for some and for most, it's definitely not.

Don't get me wrong, this family center is a great idea. The establishment appears to be a charming, fun place to visit, and for most, a quick neighborly stroll for a short visit. To me, you'd spend all your time preparing for a brief, rushed,...

We have been going to Highlands for many years! We have had family functions there! And this year we had a nice school function there also! The funny thing is I used to go there before it was this pool when it was the original pool 50 years ago LOL! The staff is very very friendly! Very reasonable price to go swimming I like their schedules! I like it that you just can't drop your kids off for the whole day off so formation Mark get what I mean!

Thank you for being there.. I have so many pictures over the years that I never took my phone so it never showed me being there so here is the beginning of some pictures this was...

The park is fun and we'll maintained, but the staff is very rude and unpolite. The park is also expensive for people who live out of county. It cost 8 bucks per person and they will charge for babies to, which is BS. The baby can't even utilize the entire park so they charge full price for them. I would say kids under 3 should be free or reduced price. The staff rushes you out of the water park after it is done, my children were still changing in the bathroom and they were trying to usher me out the door. I would say it is a fun place onceand awhile, but a bit over priced for...
