This place was great fun! We only did the indoor waterpark- a lazy river (very tiny), 2 waterslides, spray park and play area, and leisure pool. There is a lap pool as well but you can only do laps in it. The waterslides were fun, one you do sitting and the other is on a single or double tube. The tube slide does go faster than you think, and both have a few seconds in the dark so be prepared for that with little ones. The area was clean, with lots of lifeguards. That being said, don't depend on them totally - there was a little boy trying to swim right next to us saying "help" and the lifeguard missed it despite looking right at him. Too loud likely, but hey parents watch your kids if they can't swim well. If you plan to do the water slides, be aware the flooring on the steps HURTS your feet! I would have loved to have water shoes. It was nice to have family locker rooms and shower as an option (there is soap in the showers). The facility is HUGE with lots of other rec options, including an indoor playground, weight room, etc. We would definitely go back!

Friday night through Sunday afternoon you will find that this is a busy, fun place! It's not as crowded the rest of the week, but it can be hopping. It is great for visitors, couples and families alike. There are many activities that pull in all ages throughout the year - parades, pub crawls, costume contests, treats, a splash pad, farmers' market, etc. Shops, historical markers and sites, restaurants, breweries and bars liberally sprinkle the area. Free parking is ample in the ramp just south of Grandview (major east-west street) and just steps from the heart of Olde Town. If you have company from out of town, no one will be disappointed after spending a happy afternoon or evening exploring all that Olde Town Arvada has to offer.
