Default kid-friendly indoor pools

Now that our outdoor pool's season has ended, I would love to find an indoor pool to take my 3 year old swimming on the weekends. Does anyone have a little-kid-friendly indoor pool to recommend? I'm looking for something that either has a separate shallow pool or at least a large shallow end (no more than 3 feet deep). We've been to the pool at the Plymouth Mtg Community Center and it is wonderful but their daily rate too expensive to go there frequently (I think it is $13 per person per day). We live in the NW but anywhere in the city or burbs is fine if it's a good fit for our needs.

Plymouth Mtg is great. The Y has no separate kids area. I heard there's an indoor water park opening in South Jersey sometime this fall. I forget the name but there are others in other states and the website looks great.

It's called CoCo Key and it's slated to open in November but the prices on the website are pretty steep. It's $40 pp during the weekends and $30pp during the week.

Thanks for sending!! Wow, you're right - that is steep. There is another idea like that in the Howard Johnson Motel in Lancaster (indoor waterpark), but I've never been and it's gotten bad reviews on TripAdvisor. But it's nice to know that there may be options a little closer and maybe a little less expensive than Great Wolf Lodge.
