“Very Pleased”

Reviewed 17 March 2013

We had 18 people there for my nieces 13th birthday party and we were all very pleased with the facilities. We were in rooms that all had been just remodeled and were very nice. I would suggest Safari Joe's to anyone for a nice little get away.

He swung his whistle around, talked with an other lifeguard, and pretend to... More
