Spectator at water parks

[123SA]

First time at the water parks for my famliy. Kids 9 12 15. (All are competitve swimmers, so the swimming part of the water parks is not an issue.) My husband and I do not intend to do the slides. I won't even wear a suit.

1. Will we be able to observe the kids on the slides? Which sounds weird...I mean hang around at the bottom and watch them, maybe try to take a photo? Or is the timing just too hard?

2. Are there any air conditioned locations where I can cool off for a bit?

3. We are doing a day at both parks. Any recommendations on where to grab a spot?

4. I know i've seen photos of lounge chairs, but are there any regular chairs? I really don't want to lay down and bake in the sun.

Thanks for your help

You definitely can hang around and observe them. My dad came and got a lounger in the shade and hung out and read a book. He loved the water park

there are some non loungers mixed in with the loungers. Stick to one under and umbrella.

I can't think of any a/c places. Maybe at a food spot? I know BB the food spot was all outside
