Abbey Centre

Love this place its great for the kids! It's $20 per family which is amazing. Not very busy at all. Worth the 1hr drive from Edmonton.

It was nice to find a reasonably priced family excursion option in Central Alberta. The family admission to the outdoor aquatic centre cost $20 for the five of us. Unfortunately, one of the two slides as well as the spray park were not working during our visit. However, the pool basins were still fun, and although busy, the centre wasn't crowded. The in-facility restaurant was okay, but expensive.

I saw this on a friend's IG page and had to check it out! Well worth the drive! Less crowded, and I feel safer knowing the pools arent as deep and there were lifeguards who actually life guarded unlike Edmonton pools where lifeguards are often chit chatting with other employees than keeping an eye on folks. Only downside is the snackbar. A bit overpriced for food. Could have spent $50 here and had a kids feast of Costco food but I wanted to support the local inhouse kitchen. But after the quality of the food we got for the money we spent? Naw.

A hot day so we scrapped the event we were at and headed to the pool to cool off. We were glad we did. There was a huge shallow pool for the youngsters. Deep pool, hot tub, water fountains and a lazy river. Only one of the 2 slides was open, but my niece really enjoyed and the lineup was not horrible long. The spray park wasn't going but it looked great. All of this was outside. We did not explore the rec center facilities inside. It looked like there were tons of things to go no matter your preference.

Best small town pool we've been to!! Waterslides are great and the play area is well designed & kid friendly! Downside: hundreds of towels on chairs, but not a single place to actually sit. Pool rules need to be changed regarding saving seats for hours on end while seniors sit on the bare concrete.

Very nice outdoor pool! Been visiting for 5 years now and we were just there yesterday, and saw this awesome life guard saved an old woman. Kudos to this guy for acting fast. Will be back summer after summer.

Admission fees are $20 per family (2 adults and all kids under 18) The waiting time is long. We waited for an hour before we were able to get in. The pool area is nice with lounge chairs. There’s a hot tub, slides, splashing area for kids and a separate deeper pool. Showers and changing rooms are available as well.
Overall it was a good experience except for the long wait times.

Great outdoor pool! Both waterslides are easy enough for somewhat younger children as you are allowed to take a child on your lap. We enjoyed the shallow pool as well as the outdoor hot tub. We'll definitely be back!
