Perhaps the largest indoor waterpark under one roof, this authentically African-themed Kalahari Resorts’ Sandusky property lives up to its motto, “Go Big or Go Home.” Visitors can experience attractions such as the Swahili Swirl bowl slide, four-lane mat racers, a stationary wave machine, an indoor/outdoor spa and a wave pool. A highlight is the state-of-the-art transparent roofing system, which allows enough natural light inside to grow live tropical foliage. The property also includes a 77,000-square-foot outdoor waterpark, Spa Kalahari, multiple on-site dining options, an indoor minigolf course, convention space, Kid’s Club and the Safari Animal Park, opened in 2009. The newest amenity is an African-themed Safari Outdoor Adventure Park, featuring a zipline tour, ropes course and climbing walls.
