Crawdaddy Cove Indoor Water Park

Great little water park perfect for young kids! We had a room and were visiting from out of town so I’m unsure if they allow day passes as other reviews stated; I know they did in the past but policies may have changed. For a holiday inn, it is an impressive pool that is no deeper than 4/5 feet with a slide and has a toddler area along with a hot tub tucked in behind the larger pool/slide so adults can enjoy the hot tub without being too bothered by kids on the other end. It really is catered to young kids which is great for families visiting the area! There is a height requirement on the slide which was a little odd as most outdoor local pools have similar and larger slides that shorter children are allowed on. They do have signs posted no life guards on duty but there were 3 on an evening weekday which was great to see. The pool itself is a little outdated but was clean and well kept. We would recommend for families with young kids visiting out of town!

We had our sons 1 year birthday here and had great service with the staff and swimming. The party area was great, with plenty of space and setup as expected. The food got rave reviews from our guests and they were extremely surprised at how great the water park was. Definitely a place to stick in your head for a quick getaway in the winter in Madison or staying if you are coming from out of town with kids.

Great area to cool off and let the young burn some energy! Fun slide, plenty of towels. Hot tub that is very warm (not personally owned hot, but close) so it feels great! Small bathroom with a rinse off shower is nice after a day outside.

Great for little kids. Pool only goes to 4 feet 6 inches at the deepest. There's a water slide. Hours say 9am to 9pm but we were asked to leave at 845pm. Hot tub was big. Lots of towels available. There was 2 lifeguards on when we were there. Our wristbands were included when we stayed at the hotel.

My daughter and her dad stayed at the crawdaddy cove on November 26th. This is supposed to be a family friendly place to go. As I knocked them for an evening swim, we were constantly distracted my the life guard and her boyfriend coddling each other. This went on for the entirety of our swim. (~2 hours). Her attention was solely on her boyfriend and not the children in the pool. It didn’t appear there was any supervisors for these life guards, as not one adult stepped in to say something. It literally felt awkward to look at and these are the people we’re supposed to rely on safety in the pool area? It literally would have felt like we were interrupting them if we needed something. We stayed in room 2002, and have picture proof, but will not be posting as the life guard didn’t appear to be 18. Highly suggest not taking your children here :)
