Very well organized, a LOT of fun, and friendly staff (kudos to Sage, who assisted us. Great service). I had a daddy - kids night out (7 and 8 year old), and we had a blast in the Greybeards pirate themed room. They were not too young for it, and we’re definitely going back.

We needed a little something different to do for a bit, and this was the perfect thing. My little girl had a great time playing on the different structures throughout the park. There is also a little nature walk behind the playground.

This was the first beach I discovered while building a home here for my family. I stayed and the Amelia Hotel at the Beach and often ate at Sliders before a short evening beach hike. It was a great way to end a day of construction meetings and runs to Jacksonville to meet with suppliers, etc. I still enjoy visiting this beach with my wife now that we've settled into the area.

Our 11 and 13 yo boys really enjoyed this place for an hour on a rainy day. $10 to play for an hour was plenty for them, but $15 for the whole day is a deal!
