Great waterpark. My husband took my 5 year for the first time yesterday. While they were in the water I watched from the cafe where there is a little view of the poolMy daughter absolutely loved it.Slides to suit all ages.We will definitely be going back & this time I’m not missing the fun.

Had a great time here with two toddlers. Warm pool, clean changing rooms and great food after.Like some of the reviews say, The changing rooms are dated and they do STINK of urine. Especially in cubicals… That put us off. We thought it might be better in term time when it’s less busy, but it wasn’t. It was still really bad smell. But everything else was great!!

This was a fantastic venue for swimming, with a slick design of pipes at the counter where the staff checked us in promptly! The toilets were clean and so were the changing rooms, easily accessible with a proper amount of lockers. Slides went super fast and even included lights; one drops down like a penny spin which was adrenaline boosting! The wave machine is a fun touch too, in the pool that allows a swim to relax from slides.

Travelled over an hour to visit this water park as our youngest son is obsessed with pirates. Nice big car park , friendly staff on reception. We were really looking forward for our visit.Changing rooms are so dated and small.No hairdryersCameras in the changing areasShower was coldPool was so busy, there was constant noise from whistles the lifeguards using – honestly it was horrendous.Could only take our youngest son in a small area and it was so busy that you couldn’t really swim or move about. We left after forty minutes. We couldn’t get changed as a family as people were saving cubicles and leaving clothes behind to save them.Really gutted as we were really looking forward to our day out.

We went for the first time today, arrived early too early to go in. So we hung about the amusement area. L but there was no card machine to withdraw any cash which was a bit disappointing. When it came to the facilities and the pool it was Great the water was coloured for valentine’s day which was a lovely touch. My children enjoyed using the slides and exploring the areas. The only downfall was an alarm that kept going off.. which seemed to be an emergency one. But we couldn’t understand anything on the tannoy as it wasn’t coming through clearly. The lifeguards were very helpful and on the ball for any issues. It was a good day out. I’d recommend it at a less busy time but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Great for kids and big kids. Lots of activities. Flume rides wave machine and lane swimming. Very busy when I attended, so changing cubicles were limited. Lots of lockers and regularly cleaned. In general the place is looking a bit tired, but staff were helpful.

First time experience with a 3 and 12 yr old. Neither wanted to get out after the 90min session. In truth neither did my wife or me! Really good fun. Great mix of slides, fantastic toddler area and waves that were surprisingly strong. My eldest LOVED the diving boards, the 1 and 3m were open. Can’t wait to go back. Not a cheap experience at just over £40 but for what you get I think it’s fair.

Easily the best place to swim in Yorkshire. I’ve been coming here since I was a kid I’ve seen it refurbished into something people travel miles to visit… all lifeguards are great and trained very well, they are good with children that visit the pool. Fantastic management if there’s anything wrong these guys are on it 👍

Booked in advance. When we arrived, the main pool was closed. Top diving board closed. Had I known, would not have visited. It seems they are only catering for small kids. Need to update the website on openings to avoid wasted trips. Came from Halifax.

Being from Sheffield, this is the closest swimming baths with more than one slide, so we have visited quite a few times.Two large pools, 4 slides, and diving boards. My daughter loves it here. It’s a shame that the highest diving board has not been open for some time but gather there must be a reason for this.Personally I think the place is a little too crowded at a weekend. However, if they reduced the numbers I probably wouldn’t be able to go again, as most of the time we go at short notice.Price is just about right. Definitely not worth any more but at current price I would continue visiting.

Great options for all ages, from the baby & toddler pool, to the wave pool, diving pool & slides. Can get fairly busy but usually still a good amount of space too if you need it. The top diving board was shut when we went but the low & middle boards were still getting a lot of use. Good amount of changing room options too (family rooms & single rooms). Only gave 4 stars instead of 5, as some of the areas seem a little dated and could do with an update.

Took my kids here for a nice day out, we drove an hour and a half to get here and wasn’t disappointed, it was great. Not too many people there was plenty for both my kids to do, the wave machine was perfect. My daughters both loved the four Lane slide, will definitely make the trip again.
