Indoor Waterpark

An indoor waterpark hotel is one where the slide hall sits under the same roof as your room, or is linked to it by an indoor walkway, so the weather and the season stop mattering. Of the 18 hotels with this feature on the site, 13 are in the United States, six of them around Wisconsin Dells and four around Sandusky, Ohio; the others are in Niagara Falls, Pembrokeshire in Wales, Sopot in Poland and Yerevan. The detail I check first is what the access covers. At Great Wolf Lodge Sandusky, registered guests can use the water park from opening on arrival day until closing on departure day, with wristbands for everyone up to the suite's maximum occupancy, so a late check-out is not needed for a last morning of slides. Next door, Castaway Bay keeps its indoor park heated to 82 °F (28 °C) all year, a few minutes from Cedar Point. In Niagara Falls, the Fallsview Indoor Waterpark has 16 slides, a wave pool and a Tiny Tots splash area, and the Sheraton Fallsview, the Skyline and The Brock reach it by indoor walkways. Bluestone in Wales goes the other way: its Blue Lagoon is open only to people staying at the resort, and its lazy river leaves the building for an outdoor bubble pool.
