Bierman Family Aquatic Center — Attraction in Merrill

First time going here in July of this year for my son's birthday. The kids loved it! Very busy but tons of lifeguards on duty for all sections of swimming areas. Great snacks and beverages. Also they have a break every 45 minutes or so, and everyone comes out of the water to take a break from the Sun and get some fluids to hydrate them. The parking lot is packed making it hard to find a place to actually park, and that's due to they have other activities going on that share the same parking lot, so it's quite a walk from the parking lot to get to the actual swimming area but prices are cheap to get in. Highly recommend taking your family here if you have never gone. Sadly it's about the only nice thing left in Merrill. Hopefully it will...

A couple years ago I rated this place as 5 stars. I have gone there twice this year and they were closed both times even though according to their Facebook page, they were supposed to be open. This weekend they are closed according to their Facebook page... Closed on a weekend! I'm very disappointed that they don't offer swimming lessons either. Also the price to get in is high imo. Personally, I'd prefer Merrill having a free splash pad for kids. Maybe Merrill should take a look at what Marshfield has done with their pool and splash pad. I bought a state park sticker and we go to the beach at Council Grounds. Probably won't be going back...

This is the 2nd year I've brought my grandkids to this park and they love it! It is a cheap fun activity. Lots of life guards on duty. Swimming is open an hour at a time then there are 15 minute breaks. That makes the kids get out of the pool and use the bathroom or eat something. That way there are less accidents in the pool. Every pool has to be shut down when someone poops or pukes in it and that happens everywhere! That is unfortunate but it happens. Our kids know they will get to come back and are happy with the time spent here. Food is reasonably priced. And the staff is very nice...
