Aquatica for 3 non-swimmers???

[MouseFan71]

I have three chidren 3,4 and 6, the two older ones do fine with life jackets or arm floaties but I'm a little concerned about spending $33 each for them if they really can't do anything. My DH or I will need to keep a very close eye on our DS3, he's not too comfortable in the water. I have a few questions that will hopefully help me decide:

Do the tubes in the lazy river have bottoms or are they open tubes?

Do they have kiddie slides?

Do they have a kiddie area that's worth $33 each?

Can 5 go on a family raft ride? If so, how many family rides do they have?

Thanks!!!

MouseFan the tubes in the lazy river do have open bottoms.To tell you the truth though we enjoyed the fast river most.Your kids will need to wear vests anyway,and they have small ones available.My 4yr old loved the fast river and he does not swim yet.No problems with going under or anything.

He was in the wave pools,just have to watch out in the more aggressive one,even I ate a little water.

The larger kids area is more for the older ones.Lots of climbing,water dumping/spraying and slides.The other area is for younger ones.Smaller slides and shallow water.Even a tube ride.Both my kids liked it .

The raft rides I believe only four can go down at once,because you have to be able to sit up on your own and hold onto grips.You sit across from one another.Also a weight limit for adults.

We liked it better than Adventure Island.Maybe some because it's newer,but our kids really like it.

We have passes,but I think our kids would say it would be worth it to go even if we didn't.
