Even those of us who love winter experience tinges of longing for the carefree summer days of playing outdoors. Fortunately, even during the shortest and the coldest days of winter, we can soak up that summertime feeling by visiting this epic waterpark in Pennsylvania. “Epic” is often an overused word, but not when it comes to the largest indoor waterpark in Pennsylvania.
Pack your swimsuit and your towel, and leave your cares behind, when you head to Kalahari Resorts in the Poconos, home of the largest indoor waterpark in America.
Even if you're not a guest of the resort, you can purchase a day pass. If you're all about luxury and relaxation, reserve one of the cabanas that comes with a TV, a fridge, chaise lounges, and a table.
The indoor waterpark features a variety of attractions, ranging from tranquil to extreme. If you're in the middle, go for the moderate rides. A ride along the lazy river is a perfect way to...
Sahara Sidewinders (it's 250 feet high), the Rippling Rhino, or the Screaming Hyena, which takes you from 60 feet above the waterpark's roof straight down to a pool below.
Kiddos, even the youngest ones, will find a ton of fun water activities, too. Splashtown Safari, for example, is a whole playground of fun - including a giant tipping bucket - for kids.
When you need a breather, grab a bite to eat. The park also features several swim-up bars; however, due to the pandemic, they're currently closed. (Check before you go to see if they've reopened.)
Have you been to this massive indoor waterpark in Pennsylvania? What’d you think? Share your experience in the comments! An indoor waterpark allows you to experience summer any time of the year, but what if you want to have a taste of winter in the summer? Just make your way to Coudersport Ice Mine.
