Proper attire is a must. Guests wearing thongs, t-backs, or clothing with offensive language or imagery will be required to change or to leave the premises without restitution.

The requirement for a swimsuit bottom to provide sufficient coverage aligns with maintaining our family-friendly establishment.  We aim to meet societal norms and expectations regarding modesty and appropriateness in an environment where guests of all ages are present.   As a guide, an acceptable swimsuit bottom will provide ample width to continuously cover the center of the buttocks.  

For the health and safety of all our guests, children in diapers are required to wear a swim diaper when entering the Lagoon waters.

In the event of inclement weather our Blue Sky Guarantee will provide a rescheduled visit under specific conditions. Please visit MetroLagoons.com/BlueSky for more information.

The safety of all our guests is our top priority. Therefore, inclement weather may cause us to temporarily close the lagoon. We ask that all guests adhere to weather warnings and seek shelter. Tickets and activities are nontransferable, nonrefundable, and cannot be canceled or refunded.
