H2O Adventure + Fitness Centre: Kelowna

Overview:
Not just a swimming pool. this complex offers an Olympic length pool with diving boards, waterslides, a wave pool, kids play area, toddler play area, lazy river, 2 hot tubs, Flowrider indoor surfing, and a gym.  A great place to spend the day with the family.

Thoughts:
A very large complex with lots to offer and space to accommodate a lot of people without feeling crammed. The kids play area is ideal for children of all ages, although the spraying water was a bit strong for really small kids.  The toddler area was a perfect temperature to make sure users are not getting cold.  The wave pool was great although it did flow over into the kids playing area making the waters a bit choppy and could be better separated.  The lazy river was perfect with a good depth for adults to take younger kids but because of that the depth may be too much for some to go alone.

There are three waterslides with a variety of twists and turns to choose from, but there is a height restriction and you must go alone, no doubles.  The Flowrider indoor wave was also included in admission price but I could see the line up getting pretty long there.

Price:
Infant (0-2): Free
Child (3-12): $5.75
Youth (13-18): $6.85
Young Adult (19-24): $7.95
Adults (25-64): $10.10
Seniors (65+): $7.95
Family (2 adults / 3 children): $25.00

Pros:
Water was warm, and a family hot tub that was cooler than a regular one allowed kids to be able to sit as well.  Plenty of activities for everyone to enjoy.

Cons:
No doubles on slides so short children can't enjoy them.  It could get busy and have a lot  of waiting and bumping at times.  With rotating stoppages of activities it made it hard for infants/toddlers in the toddler area to keep playing as there was no more water spraying out of the activities.
