If you dont live near one of the countrys top indoor water parks, you should consider purchasing cheap airplane tickets, discount hotel rooms or cheap vacation packages and taking the family. Given that the temperatures in indoor water parks are always in the 80s, they are a great place to escape the winter blues.
The following are some of the top water parks in the U.S.:
Wilderness Territory Waterpark Resort in Wisconsin Dells offers four separate parks. Its claim to fame is its Hurricane a family raft ride that falls 58 feet, spinning into a funnel that mimics a hurricane. Their Great Wave pool sports five foot swells.
Splash Lagoon in Erie Pennsylvania is famous for its Tiki Treehouse which is half fortress and half obstacle course. It features bridges, slides, and a humongous bucket of water that periodically drenches the unsuspecting. Its most popular waterslides are Shark Attack regarded as a particularly fast body slide and the Black Hole that keeps guests in the dark.
Avalanche Bay Indoor Waterpark in Boyne Falls Michigan features a South Wall which is a 25 foot high climbing wall that pours water on guests as they climb. The Rip Zone is Michigans only surf simulator where the adventurous can either try stand up surfing or boogie boarding.
Kalahari Resort in Sandusky Ohio is African themed and offers the largest water park under a single roof in America. It is best known for its impressive thrill rides.
Schlitterbahn Galveston Island Indoor Waterpark in Galveston Texas invented lazy rivers and now has added waves to its river, making it anything but lazy. This park can convert from indoor to outdoor depending on the weather.
Water Park of America in Bloomington Minnesota is situated right next to the Mall of America. Its signature ride is a 10 story tall waterslide that takes raft riders on drops and curves for over a mile. A surf simulator and wave maker that moves water up to 30 mph are major draws.
