Winter in Pennsylvania can be unpredictable, to say the least, but we’re usually prepared for whatever comes our way – snow, ice, sleet, ice.  The cold and snow bring with them a ton of fun too – snowball fights, making snowmen, and sled riding. Those freezing temps can get tiring pretty fast, though, as we begin the countdown until spring. While we can’t fast-forward to warmer weather, we can shut the door on winter for a little bit when we visit this indoor beach.

Pack all your beach gear for an unforgettable winter adventure at Camelback Lodge and Aquatopia Indoor Waterpark, where the temperature's always a balmy 84 degrees.

Want to really feel like you're at the beach? Reserve one of the indoor cabanas, where you can relax away from the crowd, watch a little TV, and cool down under the ceiling fan.
Kick off your indoor beach getaway by floating along the Lost River, a relaxing lazy river that promises a few surprises. (Think waterfalls, caves, and canals.)

If you've been Googling "indoor beach near me," you've just found one of the best indoor waterparks in Pennsylvania.
Prefer a little more action? Jump into the wave pool for a leisurely float...until the waves start rolling in. The Great Ka-Na-Gawa Wavepool promises fun for guests of all ages, although kiddos under 48 inches must wear a life jacket.

Don't forget to drop your beach towel on one of the poolside lounge chairs, so you can dry off when you need a breather.
The wave pool provides the perfect buildup to some heart-pounding adventure. How about a little surfing on the Bombora FlowRider?

If you've never gone surfing before, ask about the stand-up flow boarding lessons.
