This morning we were looking for something fun to do to kill a day with myself + 3 kids: 13, 12 and 10 years old. We picked Cherry Hill because of the cost $17, versus $42 for Lagoon. We decided on Cherry Hill and are glad we did. On arrival 15 mins before open, there were about 10 moms and their assorted kids lined up to get in laden with tubes, towels, snack bags etc. No kids the same age as my kids. When we got in, we could see every attraction from our home base location in the park in the middle of the lazy river and my kids were pretty skeptical and razzing me. Throughout the day we ran into each other several times and they indicated they were having fun, but were bummed there weren't more things to do. When we decided to go around 430, they were all beat, well ripened and content. As we were driving back to SLC, they commented that they really enjoyed their day, the rides were just right and they would go back anytime.
I thought the staff was worth remarking on. As a rule the staff blended in, without any fanfare or standout customer service. At the top of the dragon slide, the pretty blond lifeguard had her legs hung over the edge of her seat, sitting sideways obviously looking over her toenail paint job. She ignored or didn't hear a question from a visitor about when he could start down the flume. At the concession stand near the main gate at high noon, the staff of 3 were robotic, and seemed pretty indifferent about our order or questions about the food. One of the girls, looking at me- heard my question, then turned away and never responded. Weird. Possibly they were animatronic concession workers? Sad to say those 2 contacts with the staff were enough to leave a negative impression when the staff has such a great facility to be proud of working at!
The facility was immaculate and very well kept. In my travels I am always looking at how others run their businesses, to enhance my own that caters to visitors in entertainment- and this was one I'd trip over myself to get involved in, if the opportunity arose.
Great family day trip, especially for families with kids under 13. Safe, clean fun.
We did not use any other facilities (golf/RV park etc)
