North Pointe Family Aquatic Center

Great pool! We loved loved loved the lazy river. It’s great! It goes around the entire aquatic center through nicely landscaped areas with waterfalls and bridges. Big kids play area with dump bucket and slides, cushioned little play area for the tiny ones, whirlpool, 2 big waterslides, an aquatic climbing wall, and swinging rope, and 2 diving boards. Good food choices and plenty of shady areas to set up camp. Well worth the entrance fee!

This place is a lot of fun. A family could easily spend 4 – 5 hours a day during the summer here. We went during a really busy weekend and had to wait awhile for tubes for the lazy river. That’s to be expected though, as that is probably the most popular part of North Pointe. My only complaint is that you cannot bring food/​snacks in. I think they should allow food as long as it is eaten in the designated area. After spending the money to get in (we aren’t Ballwin residents), I think they should let you bring in snacks. That being said, we ended up buying food from the snack bar. It was decent, but I will tell you that it took FOREVER to get it. The food is cooked to order, which is great… but when it’s really busy it can literally take 20 – 25 minutes to get your burger or chicken sandwich. We will be back… but we will eat first!!!

What a nice place for family and friends alike! We paid only $ 7 because we aren’t residents of Ballwin. So cheap! The staff and people were very friendly and not snobby at all. The family enjoyed the lazy river and the two water slides. It was fun and relaxing at the same time. We stayed for almost six hours and will be back before summer is over. Everyone loved the affordability and the concession stand. Great time had by all!

I absolutely love this water park. They don’t make you get off the lazy river. The pool is always clean. I love the fact that they have a bucket falls at the children’s pool. The lifeguards are very watchful over the children and patrons.
Only thing I would change is, not allowing anyone in the lap lanes who aren’t swimming laps. Other than that a great place to spend a day if you want to go swimming.
The pool is always clean. The staff is friendly. They do show concern for young children who cannot swim well by requiring US Coast Guard approved swim apparatuses. The snack stand offers a variety of food that is healthy and can be junk

This is an amazing facility, but they allow bus loads full of hundreds of day camp kids to go to the pool every single weekday. The pool is packed and lines for slides and tubes are crazy long. Not to mention the camp kids aren’t always that well behaved (cutting in line, running, pushing kids, etc). Go in the evening and it’s great, but very disappointing that it gets so incredibly crowded during the days).

We were in town from California. We have enjoyed our stay here thus far and Mo. has so much to offer in the way of family entertainment. We thought our visit to NPFAC was going to be a memory of a lifetime for our girls, and we were right but for all the WRONG REASONS!
First, we had an infant with us and we were going to have to pay for all members regardless of age. We opted to not pay for those that were not going to use the facility. That split up half our family from the get go.
Second, my smallest was a half inch too short to use the large slides so she was not allowed on that side of the center. No biggie though, we would just let our two girls enjoy the other side together. WRONG!!! You cannot use the facility on one side if you are too short and you cannot use the other side if you are too tall!!!
So you make me pay for an adult that is not going to use the facility because my kids are under twelve, but then you force them to split up so I cannot watch both!!!
WTF!!! How ill logical is that? You expect me to allow the teen age, underpaid, kids you employ as staff watch my children??? I think not.
My kids are about an inch apart. Absolutely ridiculous! I tried to explain that I did not feel comfortable separating my girls and not being able to watch both simultaneously. I was turned away. I decided to leave. We were there about 20 minutes.
Now I’m all for rules and such but this was absolutely ridiculous. I decided to look for these rules at the front desk so I could discuss with staff. Guess what? No such rules that I could see. When we got back to our place I looked the website up on the internet. No such language at all!!! Again, Ridiculous.

Absolutely love this aquatic center. They have something for every age group. Very clean and big, so even on super hot days, it still doesn’t feel that crowded. Lazy river is awesome. Prices are great as well! I just found my new summer hot spot.

Being a Ballwin resident, I think we are pretty lucky to have the Point.
There is a ton of cool pool related activities for the whole family to enjoy.
Unfortunately, I don’t get to go often, but we spent a good deal of our day there today.
All age groups can have a great time here as the have a competition pool for the big kids and splash pools and the bucket falls for the young ones.
Not to mention, the lazy river is awesome to just drift along in and cool off.

Wow — next time I am visiting family in STL, I will definitely make it a priority to visit the Ballwin Pool again, very kid-​friendly and lots of fun! We spent five hours there on a recent Saturday and I still had trouble convincing my son that it was time to go.

Ah… my home away from home. Granted, there is a subdivision pool where I live, but sometimes my 12 year old nephew and I like to hit the water park. Enter, North Pointe.
We have been going here for years. This park is pretty awesome. If you lived in the area, you remember the competition pool that was next to the golf course all those years ago and then basketball courts on the other end along with a playground, well not anymore!
The North Pointe Family Aquatic Center is a state-​of-​the-​art facility that features a competitive pool measuring 25 yards by 25 meters, with 10 lanes, two one-​meter diving boards, a «Tree Swing,» and an «Aqua Climb» rock climbing wall. Oh, did I mention, they have a lazy river? The Lazy River encloses a Leisure Pool with a beach entry, sprays, and a vortex. Also enclosed by the Lazy River is a Kiddie Pool with a beach entry and a large SCS play structure featuring the «Bucket Falls» bucket.
If that doesn’t sound enticing, how about: Adjacent to the Competition pool are one open-​flume and one closed-​flume two-​story Water Slides.
I know. I know. You have been hanging out on the lazy river ALL day and you are parched and hungry. Oh, not to worry, the park has concessions that include an outdoor grill and various food and drink options. They even have, wait for it, bosco sticks. Now what other water park has those? Seriously.
The cost is awesome (for non Ballwin residents) compared to other parks. Non Ballwin: $ 7 for adults and children. Ballwin resident: $ 4 for youth (3 – 18) and senior (62+), and $ 5 adult. They also have a 20 visit swipe card and season pass if you want to go that route.
In addition, they offer water fitness and have a swim and dive team (which is for lessons) or a competitive team known as: Ballwin Blue Dolphin Swim and Dive Team.
What better way to beat the Midwest heat and humidity?
