Fodor's loves

our Lazy James

Fodor's Travel Guide scoured the planet to recommend lazy river pools for adults.
The result? A list of 15 destinations for "refined floating" that put more emphasis on
relaxation than raucousness.

Proudly sitting in slot #7 is our very own Lazy James, which boasts more tube-boosting
power with its up to 5 mph current than other contenders on the list (many of which
hail from Mexico and the Caribbean). Add to that distinction our triple-rider tubes
and beverage flag service, and you've got an uncontested winner for making a splash!
The Lazy James and full River Pool Complex reopen for the season on May 25.
Make plans to be there and get your refined float on.
