WS. Car parking to pool is half hour as its all descending.. Real tough one is getting back as it takes almost 1 to 1.5 hours depending on ur speed.
Families can go as I didn't find anything shady about this place. However, do keep it within day time and avoid weekends if possible (due to rush). And do take into consideration the tough hike back as it is not always easy for everyone in the family.
