Kalahari Sandusky

Not enough water park fun for you? During the warmer months, the resort also offers an outdoor water park with even more activity pools, whirlpool spas, and other attractions. A full-featured resort, it offers a host of activities beyond its world-class water park, and is a veritable family vacation paradise. Kids will love the huge arcade, indoor mini-golf, a pottery-making shop, the Safari Adventures Animal Park (with real animals), and the enormous Tree Top dry play area complete with foam ball cannons.

Adults will appreciate the luxurious day spa, and everyone will enjoy the hotel's spacious suites. In addition to the permanent attractions, the resort offers a daily schedule of activities that might include complimentary movies (with popcorn!), craft making, contests, or scavenger hunts.

For dining, the Kalahari offers the Great Karoo Marketplace, which features a buffet, the Candy Hut, which is overflowing with tempting treats, and a sushi bar. The resort's full-service eatery is The Reserve, which doubles as a late-night nightclub.

The complex also features a large convention center, meeting facilities, and onsite condominiums.

While it may be the biggest, the Kalahari isn't the only place to get wet year round in Sandusky or throughout the state. Find other indoor water parks in Ohio.
