Escape Ohio’s cold winter with a trip to one of Ohio’s best indoor water parks! There is nothing like enjoying 84° warmth with the exhilaration of speeding water slides, splashing wave pools, and relaxing hot tubs that an indoor water park can provide. A trip to an Ohio water park is exactly what families need to get rid of winter blahs and enjoy quality family time together!
We are lucky to have so many indoor water parks in Ohio to choose from. Below are our favorites!
Castaway Bay
Castaway Bay is a Cedar Fair property and my family’s favorite Ohio indoor water park.
This Caribbean theme water park is 38,000 square foot and includes a 5-story indoor waterpark with an enormous wave pool, Rendezvous Run water coaster, tube slides, indoor and outdoor hot tubs, pools, toddler areas, and Lookout Lagoon Family Funhouse with a multi-level structure with a giant bucket dump, slides, and water features. It is the perfect size for families.
Our favorite feature is the water roller coaster!

Splash Harbor

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.
