Looking for some year-round water fun while you wait on the Summer Sun? Then this list is for you!
Kalahari Resorts, while known as America’s largest indoor water park, it’s an all around Fam Fav! Did you know that it’s perfect for the younger babes too? From Coral Cove, Splashdown Safari, to Tiki’s Watering Hole, there are several areas dedicated just to children. With several swings and tiny slides, your littles are guaranteed to have just as much fun as the big kids! Be sure to keep an eye out for their local’s day when tickets are significantly discounted for all of the surrounding communities!
Another favorite is The Splash Shack in Cedar Park! This indoor kid’s water park is great for an afternoon of fun! With water slides, a dump bucket and lots of splashing the littles are sure to have a blast. You can also celebrate those winter birthdays while dipping your toes in the water by having your child’s birthday party at the Splash Shack!
Another tip to hit the water even when it’s cold outside is to join your local YMCA! Majority have an indoor pool and many include slides and splash areas. PS, memberships to the Y include childcare while you workout, access to the swimming area (plus you can sign up for swim classes), Moms Night Out, and so much more!
