Overview:
The Venetian Indoor Water Park at the Holiday Inn Arbor Lakes has a charming Venice, Italy theme. Instead of gondolas, park guests frolic in the "canals."
It's a relatively small park at 25,000 square feet, and it doesn't have any marquee water park attractions such as a water coaster or a simulated surfing ride (the kinds of things found at larger parks like Water Park of America . But it does offer two decent water slides and could provide a few hours of fun. The hot tub would be particularly inviting on a cold day in wintry Minnesota.
The Venetian is one of many indoor water parks in Minnesota.
Check Web site for operating days and hours. The water park is not open on selected weekdays.
The hotel itself offers 136 rooms and various suite options (including family suites with bunk beds), as well as an on-site restaurant, bar/lounge, meeting and function space, and an arcade.
