I had a mixed experience at Adventureland Inn. The indoor pool was a big hit with the kids, especially on cold days, but I was really disappointed with the water quality and some cleanliness issues. It’s definitely a fun spot for families, but don’t expect a quiet getaway. I might consider returning for the kids' sake, but I’d hope for some improvements next time.
