Dolphins Cove — Hotel in Sun Prairie

I loved Dolphin's Cove until one day I was forty eight inches even my doctor said so a couple months ago and this life gard said no you are two short my mom said we had me measured by a life gaurd she still said even when I told her I am a very strong swimmer. I ended up getting a snow cone and leaving. next I was almost fifty inches tall even less then a less than a quarter inch left. She made me do a swimmer test every time I wanted to do the climbing wall I still come to the drop sildes. This year I went to do the zip line cuz I was 52 inches I was able to do the drop sildes and the zipline 4 couple weeks and then I was doing it the whole day and this lifeguard came up to me and said you're not tall enough I told her I went for a long time she said no I still could not go even when I told her I was a very strong swimmer. So I went to that say manager just happened to be the only one and she said I won't be surprised if she didn't let you go cuz she's experienced life gard . I went to my mom and she told her that I was going for a very long time too. The Lifeguard said that it was their fault and I still can't go. But the next day they let me go again it's very confusing about how tall you need to be and if you're just a tiny bit short. I am only giving it for Stars because I love the water slides and the other pools...

After talking with management and understanding them, I would say that I am very pleased with the outcome and really appreciate that she took the time out to talk with me. I understand that this last almost 2 years has been hard on everyone, including this establishment. She has really changed my attitude on what they are doing and how they are changing things. It is not worth the price if you are not a member. It is outrageous how much they charge for non-members to go to the little Dolphin Cove. The price that you pay you can go to Mount Olympus and have more water fun. I think it's nice that they have it in some Prairie but it is not affordable for a majority of people that live in Sun Prairie. Second their food is not good for the price. The chicken tenders and the breading that they have on them is not good at all. I just was not pleased and I was out to use with that they did not have it very much precautions or sanitation stations for covid-19. I would love to go to this place on a regular basis with my children if it was more reasonably priced. I was also very unhappy on the way that I was treated by staff...

It's a bit pricey for the size of the park but my kid had a blast, so totally worth it. Madison doesn't have anything like it so for proximity it's a great find. Get there early if you want chairs in the Mussels Beach area, which is where my six-year-old spent almost the entire day. The Dolphins Cove area offers a couple of decent slides and a small lazy river. The dump bucket jungle gym area was pretty cool, though several of the water activities did not work.

For the parents, the adult drinks were overpriced but very tasty. Some decent beer offerings and standard rail mixers available.

Food lines where often long and the offerings are okay. Typical burgers and hotdogs, no fries, some "healthier" snack options...
