    From looking at the website, I would say The Kiddie Korral looks like what my kids would most enjoy.

  8. Kris says:

    Love this! The breakfast w/ Dora package sounds like fun! Looks like such a fun place! Thanks for the amazing giveaway

  9. michelle robbins says:

    We’d like the fact that they have their own restaurants – there would never be reason to leave – entertainment and food and a great room.

    My husband and I would LOVE this. We’re both Aquarius’ and so is our daughter (which means we LOVe water). We’ve never been on a vacation and didn’t go on a honeymoon. We’ll be celebrating our 10 year anniversary soon, so this would be an excellent treat for all 3 of us. 🙂

  38. RHONDA HEYDEN says:

    My oldest son would love the 5,000 square foot arcade. The younger 2 boys would love the 12 different water rides.

  168. mandy kupferschmid says:

    I think my family would love the water park because they love to swim and go on waterslides. One reason me and my family want to win this trip so badley is because we want to take our kids somewhere not only safe but exciting. We hope we win and if we don’t we wish the winning family has fun.

  173. Diana Ramsay says:

    I can’t imagine a military family who would not enjoy and appreciate everything area of your magnificent
    water park resort. I would marvel in the enjoyment this one week-end would bring to a military family as I gave them my winning award to this retreat.

  176. Cindy says:

    Good job, Toni! It’s worth every chance for sure. I’m happy to be able to offer such a fun family prize to everyone. 🙂 Good luck!

    Fort Rapids is an awesome place to spend time with the family and swim no matter what the weather is like outside. There are activities for kids of all ages and the staff is watching out for everyone’s safety at all times! We love to go there and buy passes whenever there are deals offered.

    We were there once and it was so fun! My son was to scared to try some of the slides, and ever since he’s talked about wanting to go back and do them. We’d love to win some tickets! They have an arcade and restaurant inside also.

  289. Kim Rofe says:

    I learned that Fort Rapids would be great for all 3 of my kids, ages 4,7, and 9. The suite would be awesome – it’s hard to find rooms that sleep 5 comfortably at a reasonable price.
    Thanks!

  294. Christie Timmons says:

    The Kiddie Koral would be perfect for my little one! I have been searching for a close “vacation” and never knew about Fort Rapids until this morning! THANK YOU!

  299. Larena Byler says:

    I just heard about this water park from a friend! My kids are still young but they would love the kiddie korral!

  331. Jerri Mathew says:

    My kids would absolutely love the 1000 gallon tipping bucket. We got to see one at a waterpark in Columbus and couldn’t keep my kids out from under it. It was awesome!

  333. Carmela Brizzi says:

    My kids would love the 1,000 gallon tipping bucket, they love the water. My oldest daughter will love the top bunk in the rooms too! To her that’s adventure sleeping LOL

  335. Carmela Brizzi says:

    My family would love the 1,000 gallon tipping bucket, they love that type of action! They never want to leave the water and always talk us into staying longer!

  336. keri szawara says:

  351. Angie Corey says:

    daily tweet. I swear I’d love to win this. We would bring our 2 main baby sitters & we’d get to have fun as a family & we’d get to dinner & go on our own too! Oh it would be such a blessing We never get to celebrate our anniversaries let alone go on a date!

  363. Angela says:

    We really enjoyed our visit to Fort Rapids. We liked the racing slides – it was a good time. Hopefully, my daughter will be tall enough soon.

  364. Carmell Hergert says:

    Wow, a 30 person hot tub for adults only! I’m there with you… and let the kids do there own thing. I also loved the OldTime Photography… this is the girls favorite thing to do on vacation.

I loved the look of the resort rooms, my kids would LOVE the bunk-bed styled room! It looks like a great place for a short or medium trip, and looks like you would have all you need for a great time right at the resort! Thanks for the great giveaway 🙂

  386. sonya knight says:

    I know my family and I would enjoy Fort Rapid Water park. There are so many differrent water rides and let us not forget the Oak Creek Canyon villa suite with all of the things you need to enjoy a comfortable stay. WOW! what a way for a family to spend a day together.

  397. Colton Ruby says:

    My 4 kids would love to race each other….even though I’d win! And my wife would love to have a suite to rest in instead of a small room with the 6 of us!! Sounds like the perfect mini vacation

  398. Andrea Ruby says:

    I loved the huge villa suites. We have a family of 6 with grandparents who often want to join us and we have to get 3 rooms. I love the idea of a family vacation where we all have wonderful things to do ( the waterslide that you race through the building with sounds great!) and can spend the evening together would be a great idea!!

  399. Ellen Krugman says:

    I just visited the website and I am so impressed by the resort.Putting the resort on my must do list.My kids (and I) would love all of the tube slides.

    I think both my kids would enjoy the Rascal Round Up! Plus we have family in Ohio, so we could visit with them when we needed to dry out! Sounds like so much fun!

  449. alyssa hamilton says:

    we would love the kiddie coral! & i find it interesting that they have a conference center for business!

  454. Deb Jackson says:

    I personally feel that families don’t spend enough quality time together anymore. Children are subjected to video games, TV, computers, etc… We visited Fort Rapids last year and the kids had a blast. Our rules were simple; no cell phones, no video games, and no computers for the weekend. We reconected as a family and all of us had a really good, relaxing time. Please send us !

  459. mary says:

    Just reviewed your website, it looks interesting and fun. My family and I would love to try out the “Shoot out Racer”! I was unfamiliar with this park, but would look forwarding to visiting Columbus and the park.

    I visited the Fort Rapids website. I had NO idea that this was in Ohio, let alone as close as Columbus !
    I have family that goes to waterparks, and I told them bout Fort Rapids , they are so excited, because they did not know about it either. And Now they are planning to go during the kids Easter break at the end of April………………LUCKY them…..wish I could take me and mine too !!!!

  506. Beth Klosterboer says:

    I spent a great weekend at Fort Rapids with 6 kids and everyone had a blast. The kids each had their own favorite things, but all agreed that the Perilous Promenade was really cool. We stayed in a villa and really enjoyed the room. We dined in the restaurant and played in the arcade. We’ve been to other indoor water parks, and everyone agreed that this was the best! The kids are a bit older now and I’m sure they would really enjoy a return trip to play all day on the water slides and spend time winding down Cowbow Creek.

  513. Chelsea Roberts says:

    My whole family would love the water all together, plus we dont go to many water parks.

  521. April Bennett says:

    I already LIKE you on FB, and LIKED Fort Rapids for another chance to win, this is awosme. Thank you

  532. Jessica Christoff says:

    I like that there seem to be enough activites on the resort to keep everyone entertained for days. Our 2 year old would have a blast in the Kiddie Korral as well as the activites like the dance party and story time. The multiple restaurants seem to offer quite a bit of flexibility in options. It seems as though the resort has everything one would need for a great family get away!

  584. Joanie Flaig says:

    Wow! What a great little getaway this would be…I’m only 90 minutes from Columbus, the pefect distance to feel like I’m “on vacation”, but not so far from home. Would LOVE to win this for me and my family!

  597. Cindy says:

    Actually, if your room comes with tickets, you can use the part on check in day AND check out day, so it really is a good deal!

  625. Pam L says:

    I live in Xenia and my daughter (Rachel B.) lives in Columbus and she never mentioned this was there, I love the wild west theme and the price is not bad considering you can spend all day there.

  632. Stacy says:

    I learned that they do provide small complimentary towels and my kids would love the Shoot Out Racer!

    HOW FUN DOES THIS SOUND? Cold River Mining
    “Thars gold in them hills!” You may not find gold, but you’re sure to find fun, collectible gemstones and fossils as you pan for surprises just like the 49ers did!

    There’s nothing like family together time. This place sounds fantastic!

  755. Jennifer Hess says:

    Never even knew that this park existed, but it looks like a lot of fun! I liked that there was a kid play area in the waterpark for younger kids, but also my husband would love that blackout pass ride!

  779. Elizabeth Towns says:

    The hotel has so much to offer, although the reviews are mixed. Hope they have taken care of the bed bug problem.

  785. Shanna Sisak says:

    They looks wonderful and is only a short 2 hrs away from Akron! My family would love this! I am looking for a fun Birthday party site for my son’s 5th Birthday with a handful of close friends and kids! I read that each Birthday party is given Two FREE adult chaperones!!! That is wonderful!! A pool is a scary place for all families and to know we would have 4 extra eyes on our loved ones is AMAZING and priceless!

  786. Janine says:

    Theres something for all ages..theres activities….they can accomadate birthdays to weddings….sounds like a lot of family fun !

  787. Amanda Copus says:

    I really love that Ohio has all these indoor waterparks, we went to one two years ago and it was a lot of fun! I enjoy anytime with my family since we dont get that many getaways, but my boys love the water so the shoot out slide will probably be the coolest.But as a mom I love that the hotels like these have bunk bed areas, so mom and dad can feel like they have some privacy.

  788. Jenn Farris says:

    After visiting the website I learn that Fort Rapids Indoor Waterpark Resort is a 60,000 square foot indoor water park with 12 twisting and turning slides, 4 story interactive tree house & much more. 277 deluxe tower rooms, 60 villa style 1, 2 & 3 bedroom suites.
    This would be a great trip for my family, to get away from the daily grind of being a military family.

  791. Maureen says:

    I like Fort Rapids Indoor Waterpark on Facebook!!!
    I left a comment! Sounds like a fun place.. I bet my nephew and niece (14 and 8) would love it!

    The Tipping Bucket would drench you for sure.. it holds a 1000 gallons!!! Also they have a conference room that will hold 500 people!
