“Lots of fun for family”

Reviewed 12 May 2013

We have stayed here a few times, the rooms are small but comfortable enough. The kids have a blast at the water park and the kids activities are fun. Good arcade. The whole place if colorful and fun. We didn't care for the food, but there are a LOT of restaurants across the street.

“Great Place for Family and Kids”

Reviewed 14 April 2013

Went here with a friend, even though we did not have kids at the time we still had a great time. Seems a bit smaller than some of the Dell's water parks. The theme is nice. They have a wristband locker system so no key needed. Food was decadent but a bit pricy. Stores were nice and had good items.... More

“The Kids Had a Blast”

Reviewed 14 April 2013

This indoor water park is great for the winter months and in the summer when its cold (i.e. Chicago was still cold in April). We took my nephews who were 8 and 12. Both of them had a great time, they have activities for everyone, including me (the old one). They have the smaller slides with plenty of activities for... More

“Not bad.”

Reviewed 8 April 2013

The waterpark itself is very nice...lots to do. Took a 3 and 5 year old and it was perfect for them. However, staff does not keep garbage picked up. There were dirty diapers laying all over the place. Room was nice, but loud.

Talk about over priced. That is why this place keeps going through owners. Stay away and save hundreds if not thousands.

This waterpark and resort was a good combination of the best features of my favorite WI Dells water parks on a smaller scale and closer to home in IL. It has a few exciting tube slides and body slides, a little lazy river, a little wave pool, and an awesome medium-sized little kid area, (and a teeny tiny little kid... More
