Coral Cove Water Park


So just today, we went to our second pool, which is brand new for me. Although Coral Cove Water Park is slightly generic, this does not mean that we didn't have a good time.

1. Location
Coral Cove Water Park
849 Lies Road West
Carol Stream, IL 60188

2. General Overview
This is probably a stretch of the definition 'water park'.  The slides, while tall, are nothing special, and the pool is just that - a pool. The diving boards and drop slides our fun, and the splash park and water playground will entertain younger ones, but overall, this pool is somewhat generic and not at all innovative.

3. Price
6/10
The price is actually fairly good for this park. It is 5$ for residents, 9$ for non-residents, and a 4$ twilight rate. This is less than other parks such as Otter Cove, but still is a little much for 2 slides and a pool. 

4. Attractions
5/10
Once again, nothing special. The slides are ok, but one moves extremely slow, and the other rockets you, nothing for anyone who wants a medium-speed slide. The drop slide is normal, the diving board... It just doesn't change anything from a typical pool. For little kids, they have a splash park and water playground. While small, these are still pretty fun to play in for a while.

5. General Swimming
6/10
This is why you go to a smaller pool like this instead of someplace like Raging Waves, and I think it does do this very well. It has a large zero-depth entry pool, and it also has lap lanes and the deepest the main pool gets is about 5-6 feet.

6. Final Rating
Kids: 6/10
This is a decent pool for kids. The splash park and zero-depth entry our good for little kids, and the teens will like the slides. However, almost any pool will have these as well
.
Adults: 5/10
The same goes for the adults. They will have a fine time in the pool and slides, but they could have just as good a time anywhere else.
