North Arundel Aquatic Center

Beautiful pool for a low, low price. Monthly dues at the local Y are $62/month (Pasadena), while each swim is $5 or less at NAAC. It's clean, perfect temperature, sometimes loud with the fun pool (slides, water sprays, etc.). If they cleaned the locker room more often it would earn 6 stars! It's a public pool that delivers.

They don't open up the big slide during weekdays. The small kids slide/space wasn't turned on until 11:30am on a weekday despite the place being dead at 10:30am. "Lifeguards" are rude and aggressive, and the front desk workers were not at all friendly. The displayed rules do not reflect the rules that the staff enforce.

This place has the potential to be amazing but need a staffing overhaul.

Do not at all recommend.

Depending on the time slot you pick, this place is awesome to bring little kids too, it's basically an indoor water park

Fun place for kids. I’m only giving it 4 stars because of the height requirement on the slide. My niece is 7 and small for her age. The first lifeguard on duty let her go down the slide several times. The next lifeguard on duty said she wasn’t tall enough. I feel like there should be a swim requirement vs a height requirement. She was upset after she had been on the slide several times and now wasn’t able to go down. She’s on the swim team and would be able to pass a swim test. The slide only goes in 3ft6in. It’s a bummer that you have to be a certain height vs the pools we normally go to just want to make sure you can swim before going down the slide or off the diving board.

I only went there for the lap pool, so I can't speak to the hot tub nor the water slide. The lap pool was satisfactory and in good shape.
I do wish the lockers were not quarter-operated by some third party. Front-desk staff was reasonably courteous and helpful.
There is plenty of parking outside.
This place definitely gets a lot of children.

Great! We had fun! The 1.5 hours was more than enough for the adults in our group and the kids weren’t happy about leaving but it was okay! Tons of fun! Clean and staff was vigilant and did their jobs well!

This was our first visit and we loved it! NOTE: YOU NEED TO PURCHASE TICKETS ONLINE IN ADVANCE. My son loved the slide and the whirlpool! I like seeing so many lifeguards on duty and how they actively enforced safety instead of just sitting and watching. I was impressed with how often they would switch stations. I appreciate the extra eyes keeping my kid safe. The facility was clean and the staff was friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back soon.
