We had a great time at this park. It is perfect for a day trip and very reasonably priced. The lines were not too bad. Parking was free!

Pirate's Cove Children's Theme Park

Reviewed By M3278XWevaa

I was looking for somewhere different to go with my three lil ones 7 and under and this was a perfect 2-2.5 hr day. Rock Climbing, potatoe sack slides, awesome lil paddle boats all three loved those. Small park with dragon slide and more... A huge pirate ship, where you can eat your home made picnic food or purchase theirs. The kids had a blast. Definitely qould recommend for 7 and under. Really nice place for lil ones.

Sea Lion Aquatic Park

Since the start of the pandemic, safety has remained our top priority and serves as a guide for operational decisions. After much deliberation, we are saddened to announce the closure of Sea Lion Aquatic Park and all aquatic programming for the summer of 2020. As the flagship facility of the Lisle Park District, this decision did not come easily but was made in the best interest of our patrons, staff, and the entire Park District. For detailed information, please reference the latest 'State of the Lisle Park District' address, which outlines the District's stance on facility closures, program & event cancellations, virtual class options, CORE programs, and access to our parks & amenities, which is available on our web page dedicated to Coronavirus COVID-19 updates and includes a list of FAQ With two 50' body flume slides, two drop slides, a vortex pool, splash playground, sand & kiddie water play area, teen pool and more, there's something fun for everyone at Sea Lion Aquatic Park!

This lisle water park is great! A little something for everyone. There are plenty of water slides for this size water park, and little kids have a small gated area for play with water spouts and a slide. Next to this is a giant sand area(make sure to bring sand toys) there is a lap pool here as well. A larger pool is set in front of all these amenities going from zero depth and working your way up. In the zero depth expect to get splashed by the water spout. Really a lot of fun for all ages. Even teens will like to come here and hang around and enjoy listening to their music and eating at the concession stand. Who doesn’t love a snow cone!! Check this water place out.
