Pelican Bay Aquatic Center

It's Doggie Paddle Saturday @Pelican Bay. This is the first time bringing our dog to the water park! What a great idea after the water park closes for the season they have a special day for dogs to enjoy the swimming pool!I'll be honest our dog wasn't too keen on swimming. I brought him out several times same result!

What month and day does it reopen for the season trying to think ahead for a birthday party?

Went here for a church function. The kids enjoyed it, and it was free. But If I'm blunt, this place is anti climactic. The Mitch park ymca swimming area is better than this place. Also given the fact that the place has a leak an will be shut down this fall for repairs. They did a good job of having it well staffed with life guards, as a parent of 3 kids a good chunk of them were messing around and not paying attention to the swimming area. It's an ok place to be honest, you're better off at the frontier city water park, and white water park.

Okay so the pool/park part isn't bad for the value. It was packed when we went and there was seating only in the pavilion (which we didn't know had to be reserved). Once a birthday party started setting up there we realized it and we found some chairs to swoop up. They have a decent area for the little ones. The lazy river was so small though and is basically just a herd of people all bumping into and pushing each other in the same direction. The adult / deep end was awesome and less busy although you would get the occasional kid blocking the ladder. We brought our own waters and didn't visit the snack area. On the way out I wanted to change out of my swimsuit and put some dry clothes on so I entered the ladies restroom. Oh my gawd y'all...I'm still recovering from the sheer horror I faced in there. The floor was covered in -what I initially thought was water....nope...sewage!! And feces on the floor!!! The other side was not even better. I immediately ran out of there. The worst part was watching all the kids and babies walk in there with no shoes. So based upon the fact that I would not want my babies using the restroom there we will likely not ever return.

Our kids are still too afraid of the big slides at water parks, but like the smaller scale slides, so this was perfect for us (and much cheaper)! We just went for an afternoon, and all of the kiddos enjoyed it. They have typical concession stand food and snow cones as well. We will likely be back next time we're in the area!

Pelican Bay is a fun small water park to go to for a day. It's super affordable at only $6 a person. There are a ton of options for entertainment for the kids. My kids who are 9, 7 & 5 all had a blast. The park includes a small lazy river, whirpool, small toddler play area with zero entry, splash pad, larger deep pool, rock climbing wall, diving boards and some extra big slides. My kids were entertained for hours. There are life guards on duty and they do take a 10 or 15 minute break every hour so everyone has to get out of the pool. Not super convenient but it gave me a chance to make my kids drink some water and re apply sunscreen if needed. The facilities are older and could probably be cleaned better but it was fine, I didn't feel like it was super dirty or unkempt. I'm guessing because of covid the concession stand is running a super limited offering and you can only pay with card. I highly recommend bringing snacks, drinks, lunch. Which you are allowed to do.We will probably go several times throughout the summer because it's a great escape from just a normal neighborhood pool and it's totally affordable.

This is a great place to take the kids to swim. They have several fun play areas for small kids, a climbing wall, 2 slides and a small lazy river area. There are many lifeguards, one for each different area of the pool. Outside snacks are not allowed in. There is a cafe there that reminds me of the concession stand at a high schoolSporting event. There are options to eat and the food is reasonably priced. What was missing was a clean place to change my baby's diaper and get him dressed. There was a family bathroom but I didn't see a changing table anywhere. Overall, we had a great afternoon here.

Why do I keep coming back you ask? Well, it's close and my kids need an outlet plus We love the staff (the star I gave was for them). This summer we've traveled to a couple of city pools and noticed the differences. As a family we like pelican bay because it's close, that being said, it's pretty run down. Considering Edmond has so many white collar patrons, I would expect that they would take better care of their public places.Everyone complains about the food and drink rules but I get it. If you bring in your own cup, they will fill it with ice and water. We pack a pick nick and eat during the breaks. Oh the breaks are somewhat unnecessary- we know this because out at Paul's Valley pool, they never do these.I would give Pelican Bay 5 stars if they would make repairs to the kids area (where the actual pelican is) and upgrade the restrooms (which are disgusting).

Beautiful little water park with EXCELLENT employees! Life guards are super friendly & helpful! The goal is for everyone to enjoy the facility! Kids are safe in the shallow area with a small water slide & splash pad area. The bigger slide is so fun! The rock wall is challenging & adds to the entertainment in this hidden gem paradise pool! Not too crowded. Mixed ages from 0 to 100 can enjoy the lazy river stream. We highly recommend Pelican Bay for a day of cool wet clean fun! There's also a snack bar with a nice variety of yummy snacks! Dressing/bathroom areas huge & handicap accessible! I'm physically challenged & always let lifeguards know. They were so very sweet & happily made sure I enjoyed my day! We absolutely love this place! Everytime we go to Edmond this summer, we're going to Pelican Bay! Admission price is $9 for adults & 3 & under are free...

Super small place and not fun at all. Lifeguards are mad cringe and acting a fool. Place is gross and trash all over and we found a finger nail. I do not recommend taking your kids here ever. Please find another spot.
