Indoor Water Park Features:
The Kalahari has not announced the attraction lineup for its Virginia park. At 125,000 Sq. ft., however, it will be one of the nation's largest water parks and will likely include most of the water park standbys, such as: wave pool, tube slides, body slides, kiddie slides, lazy river, whirlpool spas, interactive play structure with tipping bucket, and family raft ride. Like the other Kalahari parks, it will probably also include a couple of marquee attractions, such as a FlowRider surfing simulator and a water coaster.

Kalahari Virginia Overview:
The Kalahari Resort coming to Fredericksburg will offer the same kind of indoor water park fun as the chain's other African-themed resorts in Wisconsin Dells and Sandusky, Ohio. The existing Kalaharis are among the industry's largest indoor water parks and offer a wild array of water park attractions. When it opens in December 2019, the enormous Virginia park will rival its sister properties in size and scope.

In addition to the water park attractions, the Kalahari Fredericksburg will offer an arcade with redemption games, on-site restaurants, a fitness center, 100,000 sq. ft. of conference space, and a spa to pamper and help get the wrinkles out of waterlogged guests. The kid-friendly accommodations will include 700 guest rooms and suites.
