RACISTS!!! Omg, its been a long time since Ive experienced racism like this. I accompanied a friend and her children here for the first time on Sunday to swim. The parking lot was almost empty. The guy at the door told us they were full and we couldnt come in unless we had a reservation. Ok, didnt make much sense but we were gonna just roll with that until.....we saw another family about to go in. We politely asked them if they had a reservation, they said no and it was their first time there. Nice, friendly people. So we witnessed and heard them going up to the door, asked if it was their first time, and immediately being offered a tour and paperwork for membership that they could pay for after the tour. They were not asked for a reservation. We go up to the door again and say that the previous family (who were white) went in w/o a reservation. The guy at the door comes with full bs rudeness, stating that the family was YMCA members and thats why they were let in. Then we asked for a tour, and after talking around in circles he said we would have to pay for a membership in advance and get the tour later. They dont have to worry about us coming back.

This is actually a nice facility with several activities for all ages, however I strongly disagree with their policy of requiring parents to pay just to supervise their own children. My 8 year old is not allowed to be in the pool area without parental supervision, which is understandable, however I dont understand why I have to pay full price pool admission just to sit by the pool and watch him play. I dont think parents should be required to pay to supervise their own kids. He cant go in alone. So I am required to go in with him. I explained to the nice lady at the front desk that I wouldnt be swimming or even getting in the water. I would only be supervising my child. Also, I didnt pay for myself the 3 weeks prior when I brought him to the pool. So I didnt understand why I had to pay this time. She just said its their policy that whoever goes in the back has to pay. I told her that its a terrible policy. So two stars is all I can give them. I wont be coming back.

The staff there treated me and my family with the most respect it was like being with family!! The lifeguards are very attentive, the staff is friendly and the gym is up to date. The bathrooms are always clean and the basketball gym has a friendly atmosphere amongst everyone. They knew us well and when our family went through a tragedy they were there for support!! I love the Kroc Center and its the main reason why our family hopes to move back to Biloxi one day.

Was very disappointed. My children and I were turned away, "Sorry, were sold out. We wont have an available session until 6:00 p.m." Not what I wanted to hear. We live out of Mississippi, so its not a short drive for us. We were grateful our hotel had an indoor pool, so our kids did have a chance to have fun swimming. We will NOT be back just to be turned away. Not a good way to do business.

Great facility! Awesome prices for amazing variety of services, activities and programs for all the family. Membership is worth every penny. Gym, child care, children programs like sports, music, art, camps, after school. Adult athletic programs. And a great indoor pool facility especially good for kids. My son loves it.

It really is unfair that you have to pay to go to the Salvation army my i thought its suppose to be free..i live right by the The Salvation army but i dont know what the inside lools like....but can yall think about having a free day or something.

Prepay in advance for something you may or may not have the opportunity to do the day it comes. Memberships are expensive and discriminate against the low income who would like to enjoy the simple pleasures. This place IS a CROC

I take my boys there every time we visit Biloxi. Safe, affordable, clean, and inexpensive. Appreciate what it does for the community and I enjoy paying for the services they provide.

It is a wonderful clean environment. The different depths of pool area are child friendly. The children have so many activities to do inside the pool. Just Love It!!

The building is great but the food was horrible and they are unapologetic. Served spoiled watermelon and hard sandwiches.
