Michigan Indoor Water Parks

The concept of indoor water parks began in Wisconsin Dells in 1994 and migrated throughout the Midwest, including Michigan, (and then around the US) soon thereafter. There are a number of hotels with water parks around the state, which follow. Click on a park for additional info.
