We took DD last summer to TL. She was 2.5 and loved it. The kids area was very nice, and she and I hung out in the shallow part of the wave pool. Plus, over where the "coaster slides" are, there is a zero depth swimming area. DH and I too turns playing with her, while the other rode with DS (9)We had a great time. The life jackets are free as well, and worked really well.
