Incredibly disappointed in the staff at the daycare - based on what I saw today over an almost two hour visit, I would never recommend you leave your children with the daycare at this facility. NO ONE is watching them in the general play area. I wish I had video'd it. I got there and watched what was a 1-1.5yr old with NO supervision. She caught my attention because I watched three boys throw her to the ground as she was trying to climb up the toddler slide. The boys were ranging from 7-10yrs old and running full speed through the place. Then they went around again and pushed her down the slide, making her topple head over heels down it. It was a small toddler slide so she didn't appear hurt but still not acceptable behaviour of these boys. At that point I noticed the entire group were wearing green shirts (and also that no parent was losing their mind on these boys) so I had to start stepping in to stop them from throwing her around. I watched them run right into and/or topple over other small children as they raced through the place completely uninhibited by any adult. I watched two parents leaving with bloodied children after commenting that they were pushed or run Into by 'those big kids in fluorescent shirts". They were pushing other kids down the huge slide at the top of the structure! I found a young women, who was staff, to say no one was watching this little one yr old and her exact words were to me 'ya, lol, when it's crazy like this we can't keep up/keep track of everyone". !!!!!! Then I said, I guess I can understand that but maybe you should then prioritize....and perhaps this 1 yr old should be part of your priority....and she said ya,let me go find her. Then my friend who came 30 mins later had to go get a staff member because those boys through a (plastic) spiky ball at his face. This is a lawsuit waiting to happen never mind the potential for serious Injury... all because the staff are not taking responsibility for their duty of reasonable care. Accidents are going to happen, but every child under THEIR supervision should be SUPERVISED and stopped from taking their activity to harmful levels (as happens with all children in an exciting area like that when parents...

I love Apex!

Swimming is fun. They staff some of the absolute best lifeguards I've ever seen. The slides are a little confusing and likely need some signage to instruct where to get tubes. The kids love it and the adult hot tub is great. My only advice is to be sure to bring your own lock. The lockers that take quarters are very VERY small and they're by the desk where you enter the gym and locker room are so you're out trying to cram belongings into spaces they don't fit with a fist full if quarters in your swimsuit. The locker room has large lockers but you need to provide your own lock. And do lock your stuff up.

Kids night out is perfection! The kids can swim, play games, eat, dance and more. There's a little toy shop set up so they can buy goggles or toys. The kids think that's pretty fun. They can get locks for the lockers for $2 I believe. There's no supervision in the locker rooms so they really need the locks. Kid pranks = toilet floating items. Have your kids lock up.

During Kids Night Out they block off the elevators. So if you're there for any other reason and need the elevator you're SOL. This is a issue that almost makes me dock stars. Apex is NOT handicap accessible during this time. And don't bother talking to the officer there because you'll probably get a ticket for it.

We love checking out the displays. If you just want to wander around there's lots to see.

Birthday party spot! There's rooms for cake and presents. I think people forget about Apex for birthdays.

The gym is nice. Clean. People can watch you from above which is a little creepy but whatever.

The ice rinks are nice. We haven't ice skated here yet.

All ages will appreciate Apex. There is something for all of us. Thankful to...
