Luke B
A warning for travelling families
Crystal Leisure Centre的点评
点评：So we made the 25 min trip to the pool to try someplace different and most importantly get a ride on the slide.
This is the second time we visited after an earlier aborted attempt, previously visiting on a friday evening for the waiki waves session. On this day the que snaked down the street. After waiting 30 mins in this queue with zero movement we sacked it off and went home.
After this experience I mistakenly put it down to the friday night wave event nature of admission and also our bad luck. We visited again today- midmorning thursday. The Que was better- this time, 25-30 strong instead of 75-80ish but again- no movement or indication of how long you’ll be outside waiting to come in and make it poolside. Parking is across the street at a nearby tesco car park, but this has a strict 2 hour limit- you’ll no doubt need longer after queuing. This brings me to my main point and what caused our 2 aborted attempts at a visit- there is no booking system. Bookings are all on the day, walk up. So there is no way to know when things will be peak or not/ when to journey or hold off. Seems pretty archaic to operate like this when judging from other reviewers this is a common occurrence, with waits to getting in between 20mins- 1 hour as standard.
I’m not sure what the council gain from this other than disgruntled parents, disappointed children & potential future lost revenue? It wasn’t meant to be today and now, after these 2 failed visits it’ll never be as there will be no third attempt at a visit.
If you’re travelling any kind of distance to visit- save yourself a journey. It’s too unpredictable to gain entry or not as another reviewer has put it and not good when you’re having to explain this to young children. Save yourself the time and hassle- book elsewhere, where you can book and be guaranteed a play swim.

翻译：于是我们驱车25分钟来到泳池，想换个地方玩玩，最重要的是体验一下滑梯。
这是我们第二次来这里，之前有一次尝试失败了。上次是周五晚上，我们去参加威基海滩的冲浪活动。那天，队伍蜿蜒到街上。我们在队伍里等了30分钟，队伍纹丝不动，只好放弃回家了。
这次经历让我误以为是周五晚上冲浪活动的特殊情况，再加上我们运气不好。今天，也就是周四上午，我们又来了一次。这次队伍情况好多了——只有25-30人，而不是上次的75-80人左右，但队伍依然纹丝不动，也不知道还要在外面等多久才能进去。停车位在街对面的Tesco停车场，但那里有严格的2小时停车限制——排队之后，你肯定需要更长时间。这引出了我的主要观点，也是我们两次参观失败的原因——这里没有预约系统。所有预约都是当天直接前往。因此，根本无法预知何时是高峰期，何时是低谷期，也无法判断何时应该前往，何时应该放弃。考虑到其他评论者的说法，这种情况很常见，通常需要等待20分钟到1小时才能入场，这种运营方式显得非常落后。
我不明白市政厅除了让家长不满、让孩子失望以及造成未来潜在的收入损失之外，还能从中得到什么好处？今天没能成行，而现在，在两次失败的尝试之后，恐怕再也没有机会了，因为我们不会再有第三次机会了。
如果您要长途跋涉前来参观——还是省省吧。正如其他评论者所说，能否入场完全无法预测，而且如果您还要向年幼的孩子解释这一点，那就更糟糕了。为了节省您的时间和精力，请预订其他地方，在那里您可以提前预约并保证可以进行游泳游戏。
