Prairie Grove Aquatic Park — Attraction in Prairie Grove

With the heat index being approximately 109, the only way I was getting outside was if water was involved. Super clean park, the big water slides were fun and didn’t have a wait in line even being a weekend. The lifeguards did not have umbrellas which struck me as odd, so they have a mandatory safety check with “everyone out of the pool” every hour while the lifeguards get to cool off. It’s quick though, maybe 5 minutes? They had additional chairs that were not set up and there were not enough loungers/chairs ready for the number of people there. Excellent areas for little kids to cool them off and keep them safe. One is a small fenced in pool area and the other more of a splash pad type. Planning to return with my 19 month old granddaughter. I think she will love it! Did not purchase snacks or food so not sure about offerings. Overall, great experience on a hot...

It’s an overall nice facility for the area, but my 6 yo couldn’t go on slides because he missed by only 1 inch, while he is taller than many of his classmates. He kept staring other kids going on slides and that made me sad. So slides are mostly for 7+ kids, while it really depends how tall your kid is. There is a 2 foot deep pool, where my 2 yo had a good time, until several 10-13 yo Kids stormed in and with them splashing, shouting, running wildly, pushing each other into water, one another family quickly got their little ones out of the water, while we waited for them to leave. Guard on duty finally stopped, warned them but they keep coming back. Quiet busy even for a Monday. Guards on duty and seem nice. Food prices are reasonable. Bathrooms were clean. Plenty of parking. Price to get in was...

Location is not that great, is why I gave it a 3. It's always way too windy in that area and u have to go to the pool to be able to get in it at about 90-95 degrees, maybe more if you freeze easy like me. I like that prairie Grove has a water park though. The area for little kids, I am glad they lock the gate because my toddler is scary to watch. She tries anything. Lol. I also think they should enforce a rule where no big kids whatsoever should be allowed in the kiddy pool, they were not being very nice to the little ones in there, they should only be allowed if they have the younger sibling and only one parent watching both of them. That should be the only time big kids should be...
