For your comfort, pools are heated to keep the water temperature at least 75 degrees. Children's life jackets are available in the pool areas. AquaLab This water-themed playground has a pool and is a great place for active fun. Donald's Pool Bigger kids and families can enjoy a splash, swim or just relax in the sun.
