This indoor water park is smaller than Castaway Bay and Kahalari but offers plenty of water park fun for the entire family. Enjoy their gigantic bowl-shaped slide, tube slides, bucket dump, activity tree house, lazy river, pool with basketball hoops, whirlpool, and kids play area.

My writer Megan and her family had a great time on their recent visit.  Her kids loved racing side-by-side down the slides.

This indoor water park is great for families. It includes a 49-foot looping water slide, dumping buckets, shooting geysers, two hot tubs (one for adults and one for families), water basketball hoops, a floating raft and kids pool area. We stopped by on a trip to Amish Country once to check it out. It looked like a LOT of fun, my kids can’t wait to visit. It is a smaller water park but that makes it perfect to keep track of your kids, especially little ones.
