KeyLime Cove Indoor Water Park Overview:
KeyLime Cove Water Paradise is a medium-sized indoor waterpark themed to the tropics. Its Toukie's Tower feature two major body slides and two major tube slides, as well as the Hurricane's Vortex bowl ride. The park also offers a host of other water park rides and features including a lazy river, a wave pool, an adults-only whirlpool (all together now: aaahhhhhh!) and Toukie's Big Deluge, a huge interactive water play station with a dump bucket shaped like a pineapple.

Capitalizing on an emerging technology trend at water parks, KeyLime Cove offers its bathing-suit-clad guests the ability to go "cashless." Using touch-screen kiosks and wristbands embedded with trackable chips, guests are able to make purchases throughout the resort by waving their wristbands. The bands even replace room keys and room cards.

In addition to the water park, KeyLime Cove offers over 400 hotel rooms of varying configurations--some accommodating up to 12 guests--as well as meeting and banquet facilities, a spa, and an arcade. David W. Anderson, better known as restaurateur "Famous Dave" and the founder of the Rainforest Cafe chain, is one of the principals behind KeyLime Cove. Predictably, he has brought some unique dining concepts to the resort, including DW Anderson’s Eatery & Ice Cream Parlor and the Crazy Toucan Margarita Grille.
