Kalahari Is An Ocean-Themed Indoor Playground In Wisconsin That’s Insanely Fun

When you’re in Wisconsin, you might be a little closer to an ocean wave than you realize. At the Kalahari Resort in Wisconsin Dells, the summer is endless and the waves are always perfect – it’s a place for kids of all ages to get away from it all, without having to go very far. Here’s what you need to know about planning a getaway to the Kalahari, an epic Wisconsin Dells resort.

The Kalahari is located in the heart of the Wisconsin Dells – a Mecca for family fun. In the summer, there are plenty of outdoor attractions in the Dells, including boat rides and roller coasters.

Summer never ends at the Kalahari though. It’s a year-round vacation spot for families and it also hosts meetings, conventions, and special events throughout the year.

The Wisconsin Kalahari Resort opened in 2000 and is the state’s second-largest resort. For a time, it was the largest indoor water park in the United States!

The Kalahari’s indoor water park spans a whopping 125,000 square feet. It broke new ground in the water park world, treating guests to rides on the first indoor uphill water coaster, the first indoor FlowRider surfing simulator and America’s first indoor "SuperLOOP" slides.

While the water park is a place for active fun, you can also just relax, enjoy the waves and imagine you’re at the ocean. Or pay a visit to the swim-up bar and enjoy a tropical cocktail.

The Kalahari Resort also has some fun things to do on dry land; it’s home to a 110,000-square-foot indoor theme park, too! You may even be tempted to hang up your board!

The Kalahari Resort has 756 guest rooms and water park passes are included with your stay. Day passes for the park are also available. Learn more about the Kalahari Resorts and plan your trip.
