America’s largest indoor waterpark is 223k sq ft – with wave simulator, lazy river, swim-up bar, & over a dozen slides
EVER wanted to go for a dip but had the weather rain on your parade?
Head over to Kalahari Resorts in Texas, the country’s largest indoor waterpark, where you won’t ever have to worry about a weather advisory.
The 223,000-square-foot theme park features over 40 rides, including over a dozen slides.
The FlowRider, a five-foot wave simulator, allows guests to put their surfing skills to the test.
The family-friendly destination offers dozens of “tranquil” rides, such as a lazy river, a zero-depth wave pool, a basketball court, and swim-up bars.
Adults can drop by the outdoor Grotto Pool, which doubles as an Instagram-worthy hotspot.
The Zanzibar Pool and Swim-Up Bar allows guests to relax on sun decks and, of course, grab a much-needed drink.
The Thirsty Turtle, the park’s latest swim-up bar addition, features a 1,100-square-foot pool for maximum splashing and sipping.
The resort also offers a variety of recreational activities, such as bowling, escape rooms, mini golf, and an arcade with winnable prizes.
Thrill-seekers can look forward to rides like the Barrelling Baboon, which takes passengers gliding through cavernous tunnels at ever-changing speeds.
The Screaming Hyena is the ultimate test, as it requires riders to plummet into the waters from 60 feet above the waterpark floor.
The park also has plans for those who need a break from all the excitement with a new sensory calming room.
The room, built in collaboration with Dell Children’s Medical Center, offers a safe space for guests who need a break from all the ruckus.
Those who need an extended trip to the land of peace and quiet can book themselves a spa day at the resort’s salon and wellness center.
The spa’s Hydro Escape space includes an indoor jacuzzi, herbal-infused steam room, sauna, and an outdoor lounge and pool area.
Services include massages, skincare treatments such as facials, body wraps, manis and pedis, and salt therapy for the skin.
There are also plenty of retail therapy opportunities, with the Amatuli and Marrakesh Market, where guests can shop for swimsuits and apparel.
Guests can plan just a day trip or extend their vacation with an overnight stay at the park’s on-site suites.
All stays include complimentary access to the waterpark, which is activated as early as noon on the day of check-in and until check-out on the closing day.
Visitors can also rent an upgraded cabana and bungalow, which comes with a mini fridge, flat-screen television, chaise lounges and tables, and food and drink delivery.
Guests have the option of entering the waterpark past 5 pm for discounted admission.
Tickets start at $44.99 and can be purchased here.
