Wayne County Family Aquatic Center Introduce

Wayne County Family Aquatic Center, located at 12600 Chandler Park Dr, Detroit, MI 48213, USA, offers a family-friendly water park experience. As a featured location within the "Water Parks Near Me" category, it provides a variety of water attractions and recreational spaces.

Customer reviews present a mixed picture of the aquatic center. The park is praised for its accessibility, with good parking and wheelchair access. It is also described as safe, guarded, and fenced. The water temperature is generally considered suitable for the outside temperature.

However, several reviews raise concerns about cleanliness and service. The bathrooms are described as "nasty," with reports of unflushed toilets, water on the floors, and unsanitary conditions. Staffing issues are also noted, with complaints about rude and rushed service at the food window and a lack of supervision in the bathrooms and play areas.

The park has a policy of no outside food or beverages, and the food menu is considered a "little bit on the expensive end" compared to the portion sizes. The cafe service is a significant point of contention, with long wait times reported. One reviewer claimed it took 1.5 hours to buy water and food.

The aquatic center offers a wave pool, fountains, and two slides. Water tubes are available for rent, with a $1 refund upon return. There is also a play area water pod for small children.

Despite the issues, some reviewers found the park to be inexpensive and fun, particularly for families with children. They appreciated the convenience of watching their children in the wave pool and play areas.

Parking was good and wheel chair accessible very open. Parking lot can accommodate large vehicles, vans and buses. Safe, guarded & fenced. Water temperature was suitable for the outside temperature. Heads up no outside food or beverages. Food menu was a-little bit on the expensive end/compared to your portion. The staff were rude and rushy at the window. The bathrooms were nasty. From unflushed toilets, water was everywhere (very dangerous), children were not being watched( meaning running, yelling and knocking on the shower doors. I don’t know 🤷 where the hell were the staff! Dirty maxi pads were left open and stuck on the shower walls (wide open). The park will allow you to use a water tube for the water sides only (limited supply and not order). Tubes for the wave pool. Cost $3 and when you return the tube you will receive and $1.00 back. Over the phone I was informed/ no outside attire. Hummmmm not true! They offer and play area water pod for small children.

We were here as a family. We liked. Inexpensive, clean, fun. You are not allowed to bring your own food or drinks, but you can buy everything inside. Wave pool, fountains, 2 slides. Not much, but it is convenient to watch the children. You need to solve something with the cafe. It takes 1,5 hour (!!!) to buy water and eat. This is too long. Why is the second order acceptance window closed? Either allow people to bring their own food, water, or make arrangements for quick service. People have no choice.

My girl and I took my 4 yr old son on Thursday. We were there at 11am when the place opened. It was our first time and we had a blast! The place was very quiet until about 2-3pm but even once it got busy, we still had room to pick a few different spots. I love the big beautiful umbrellas w bright colors! The park is small w 2 slides a wave pool and very cool splash pad for the kiddos. Those slides are wild… I got a little nervous for a few moments as our tube was up on the sides… we couldn’t stop laughing…The place is very clean, the staff were all friendly & helpful, the food was good and nicely priced … the 3 of us left happy and excited to return. It’s about a 12 minute ride for us…. I have a feeling that they will eventually add a lazy River and maybe a few more slides… but either way, we will be back!! ☺️

We had a wonderful time! We all rode the water slides countless times, including my 6 year old and 8 year old. The entry fee was $20 for the four of us and we bought a large pizza for lunch for $12. A very fun and affordable experience.

I love this place. Clean, stress and drama free fun for a fair price. With a wave pool, water slides and food bar, this place is amazing.!!! Plus missing something, a bathing suit or goggles hit the tiki bar.
