We went here as a family with three children. The location is ideal for spending an enjoyable day with children. Everyone has to buy a swimming float for $7, but it's fine if you already have one. The staff is extremely friendly and caring with children; every 1 meter, you will see one of the staff members in the lazy river assisting children or the flow. We only spent about 2 hours before the kids grew tired. I highly recommend this location.

Today, we went to Discovery Canyon and had so much fun. There were lots of people and many kids, and you could see the joy on their faces. My child and two of my nieces/nephews went tubing. The weather was a bit hot, but since there were many trees, you could stay comfortably in the area. It’s a perfect place for family gatherings and picnics.

Fantastic place to visit with kids. $7 charge for renting the tubes. Bit crowded on the weekend but lots of fun.

Take tents, chairs, mats food ect to set up under a shady spot or the sun depending on what you like and make a fun day out of it.

There is food for sale. The ice creams were a hit with the kids @ $4 single scoop or $7.5 for double.

Changing rooms available after a fun day of tubing.

Fun place to take yourself and the family for the day. The day we went was extremely busy but the boys didn't mind and had a blast.. there is a sandy little beach area for people to play at and lots of grassy areas to sit and enjoy. Sitting on the side of the hill was tricky but we were able to move later. Lots of shade and picnic areas surrounding at a higher level. The tube rental wristband is only $7/ person and you can use their tubes. You can bring your own but be sure to check their website on size restrictions first. There is a concession stand with things to eat and drink and a public washroom nearby. Super clean and super fun place to go just on the outskirts of the city.

It's not a lazy river, more like a lazy slide. The kids do have to get off their tube and walk up to to go down again. Water is cold, so perfect for super hot days. Little beach is cute. Kids had fun.

This place was an absolute blast. Me and my wife decided to give it a shot with my best friend. We are absolutely planning on coming back together with our whole family.

Current cost for whole day tube rentals is: $7
So cheap not worth buying your own and dealing with the hassle of blowing it up, keeping track of it and making sure no munchkins try and yoink it while your not looking. Support the park and just pay for the wristband.

First off you get used to the water quick. Once your going you forget about it and don't worry. If your a bigger person sometimes your butt/tube rubs on the river bed, slows you down and is a little annoying but is fine for kids and thinner folks. 3 different sizes of tubes offered. Adults take yellow(Biggest). You will know your tube is too small if your almost flipping over occasionally.
The line to get in could take 30seconds - 2mins but If your moving and rushing to get in you will be fine. There are staff at key points of this lazy river keeping things moving along. If your in a group you can hold onto eachother and go together. Staff is very professional and well behaved and help with anything and everything. Kids rush in at the top and get in early. Don't worry it's quick to move, don't get fussy or annoyed, everything will be fine.

Adults have fun here take your time and enjoy. Great for younger kids.

Secondly there are tons of day use benches and tables to set up a BBQ/lunch spot. Arriving early is a good idea. Looks like park opens at 11:00am. Be early to get a great spot. Gazebo recommended but lots of areas shaded, not mandatory.

Great park, will be back with my whole family and wife's family. Love it! 5/5

Great fun for the family! Prices are reasonable, and I like that you can bring your own inner tubes.
