Several weeks ago, I mentioned that my family and I were going to take a trip to Kalahari Resorts in Sandusky, OH. We love visiting water parks, and we were so excited to visit Kalahari!
The decor throughout the resort is African-themed, and our rooms were amazing. I only wish that we were able to spend more time in the room! We had so much fun on our trip that I'm already planning on when we can go again.
Although my boys weren't tall enough for all the slides, there's truly something for everyone, including an indoor play place for the little ones, an arcade, putt-putt, mini-bowling, indoor and outdoor waterpark, Safari Outdoor Adventure Park, and much more.
My 8 year old absolutely loved the Safari Outdoor Adventure Park, especially the ropes course and zip-line. As you can see in the picture above, my son is practically running across the course, while most of the time on the course I'm clinging frantically to the pole, scared that I'm going to fall! He also did the zip-line about 5 or 6 times. The zip-line goes across the entire outdoor waterpark, so you have a great view of the park.
My 5 year old's favorite part of the resort was wave pool. We spent almost the entire time that we were in the indoor water park either waiting for the waves or jumping in them. He is normally fairly scared of the water, and he had no fear there. He also enjoyed posing for the camera in the outdoor water park while his brother was on the ropes course 🙂
Although I also enjoyed the outdoor course and wave pool (among other things) with my boys, I also talked my son into riding the Swahili Swirl, which is a tube slide that ends in a vortex before you drop into the pool below. I thought it was really fun, and I love that you can ride it with up to 4 people. Even better, the rafts are sent up by conveyor belt, so you don't have to drag them up the stairs yourself.
There are many restaurants throughout the resort, but each room also has a mini-fridge and microwave to help you cut down on expenses. Kalahari Resorts also has an exclusive offer for my readers to save on your stay.
IZEA and the Kalahari bloggers are also giving away a FREE 1-night stay for a family of 4, which includes access to the indoor/outdoor theme parks, bowling, and golfing (valued at over $200). You can enter by leaving a comment on the contest post, where you can also check out the full contest rules.
Be sure to follow Kalahari Resorts on Twitter or Facebook for the latest news on the park.

Yes, I thought they had a good mix of things to do for everyone - from little kids to kids that are even older than my boys (like teens). They had several indoor splash pools as well as another one outdoors.

Wow! That sounds like such a good way to spend time with your family. I hadn't heard of Kalahari before this post, and I'm glad to have learned about it!
