• The Kid Zone drop-in fee specifically applies to the Kid Zone area and does not include access to other parts of the facility for your child. For instance, if you plan to go swimming with your child after Kid Zone, an additional general rec center drop-in fee will be required.
• No adults other than staff are allowed in our Kid Zone space. If you need to change a diaper, we ask that you please use the locker rooms or family changing rooms.
• Please let staff know where you will be in the facility in case they need to find you. You will be contacted by text or phone call if you need to return to Kid Zone for any reason. 
• Snacks and personal items/toys are not permitted in Kid Zone. Your child may bring a water bottle and jacket with his/her name on it.
• Staff will contact you if your child has a soiled diaper or a bathroom-related accident, has not stopped crying for 15 minutes, or has a significant behavioral problem.

Drop-Off and Pick-Up Process

Children will be checked in and out with KidCheck Software. Please have the app downloaded on your phone. When a child is checked in, their parent will receive a Kid Zone card from Guest Services. They will give this card to the Kid Zone representative. Parents will sign-in using their phone number and will receive two sticker labels, one for the child and one for the guardian .  At checkout, staff will ask the parent for their sticker label and child’s name to compare to the child's label.
