The depth on the Mickey Pool is only about thigh deep and in the ears it's less then knee deep. There is a height limit on the slide, but be careful, the slide does not empty into the pool. It has it's own basin. My 11 year old daughter went down and didn't stand up right away and swallowed a lot of water. I didn't see any trouble from where I was standing, and was told by another child that my daughter was coughing and crying. Make sure someone is standing at the bottom of the slide, not in the pool itself...Mark
