Which would you recommend for a day at the waterparks and why for a child almost 4 and almost 2 .. both love water but neither can swim
also two adults of an age we won't mention, but can swim and love waterparks..

We have always been partial to TL. Our DS's who are now 10 & 8 always liked the kid area at TL. They liked the wavepool. We would hold them and when the waves would come we would run and scream. They got a kick out of that. We did bring their life jackets from home so we did have that extra security. I think you can rent some at the park but not sure.

TL has a great "zero entry" section of the wave pool and a very popular "tikes" section. You'll enjoy the wave pool and that area is very close to the snack bar and bathrooms. My pick would be TL!

I'd stick with TL. BB has 4 slides that have a height requirement of at least 48 inches. DH8 was so frustrated last year when he wasn't tall enough to ride what he wanted to. TL only has 2 slides with the height requirement. Plus, you will LOVE crushin gusher at TL.
I just replied to another poster about the water parks. Just a quick FYI, BB closed to capicity by noon both this past Monday and Tuesday while we were there.

I like TL because of:
A) Crush'n'Gusher
B) Snorkeling with the sharks

Honestly, other than that, they are both very similar so you really really cannot go wrong at either.

So I would pick based on 1) Are both open? 2) Am I going in the future and I would like to save snorkeling for when the kids are older? 3) Am I going so many times it really doesn't matter which one I would go to first?

Zero entry is a beach/like entry to the pool. There are not steps that drop you off in a 3 ft area, but a slow, gradual walk down to the final depth. Zero entry is great for little ones. It is the only kind of pool I could go to when my twins were toddlers.

We are trying to decide between the 2 waterparks too. Thanks for starting this thread.

Gotta agree, TL is the way to go, the little kids section of the park is very very well designed. Love all the shade and of course the family slides.
