Gator Pool

It's a good pool for families. They have a splash zone and some decent slides. It's not very deep so even the younger kids can enjoy the slides without fear.

If you're DoD and staying in VA Beach with the family, I highly recommend stopping by to let the kids blow off some steam. If you're not DoD, you can either seek a commission, enlist, or make friends with a serviceman, then pay the visitor rate. This is more of a mini water park than a pool. There are three legit big kid slides, and four other little kid slides. There's also a gator bridge with an overhead net. There are lots of tables in the shade, either umbrellas or an overhead cover. There's a snack bar with some healthy options. There's also a fenced off splash pad for toddlers. There isn't really anywhere to swim that's more than 4 feet deep. There is a deep pool, but it serves as the splash down for the tube slide. There are plenty of lifeguards. They would do better to spend less time socializing/flirting with each other and more time watching the water, but the kid to mom ratio was about 2:1, so there was adequate supervision. One girl was actually turned 90 degrees in her chair, to face her friend rather than the pool. As a former lifeguard I found that appalling, but again, every little kid was pretty much under direct supervision of his or her parents anyway. They don't allow pool toys or water wings, but do have nice life vests for kids to use for free. They don't allow outside food or drinks, but the place is run by teenagers who don't care to shake down customers, so we had no problem bringing in snacks and drinks.Overall, for $6 per person, it was well worth it. Thanks for the good time, MWR!

This was a great deal! We have spent so many days at the beach that my kids wanted a pool to swim in. Lots of slides for little kids and 3 for big kids and adults. Definitely check this out if you are military and in the area.

I like gator water park I love going to the beach some time we go to gator pool instead

Really wish I took more pictures of this place! Im taking one star off just cause there wasn't a lot of shaded seating for the amount of people that were there & their food wasn't the best. BUT they did allow guest to bring their own food inside which was great. The concession stand also sold water diapers which was very helpful for people like me who forgot to bring her one year old swim diapers. I loved the kiddi section of this water park, it was completely separate from the bigger pool. It was a nice size and the right amount of shallow for the little ones. There were also fun water sprinklers for the kids to play in. If i remember correctly it was $7 for military and free for our 1 year old. This place IS on a military base for you need a military ID to get in.
