 Whoever came up with the awesome idea of Indoor water parks.... I love you!!!! Born in TX & living many, many years in Central Florida, I honestly never really thought about places like this since the sun is shinning pretty much all year long. Now living in NY, omg....lifesaver!!! Indoor waterparks can be a beyond fabulous weekend getaway when the chilly weather has the kiddos going stir crazy or any time you want a family vacation without the expense of getting on a plane.  We were recently invited out to Splash Lagoon in Erie Pa, a short 45 minute ride from where we reside in NY & let me tell you, my princess was behind excited to spend her 3rd birthday splashing around one of America's Top Indoor Water Parks! I was showing her videos I would search on YouTube the days following up to the trip & I never saw her so happy & excited about something.  Splash Lagoon allows guests to swirl down nine water slides, climb the Tree Tops Ropes Course, relax in the Lazy River, spin in the new Aqua Tumbler & play in the Treasure Island Arcade & Lazer Tag.  And I have to give our families mutual favorite part of Splash Lagoon it's own section! The Wave Pool is the largest wave pool in the Eastern United States. Pretty AWESOME if you ask me!!! They even have a rack of life jackets you can use for free for your kiddos. Hubby & the birthday Princess spent a lot of time jumping the waves while I sat in one of the many lounge chairs sipping on various fruity cocktails from the Island Oasis Tiki Bar.  If you have a lil'one like I do, they will absolutely love the Kids Activity Area. This large pool is equipped with mini slides & even "baby"swings similar to baby playground swings that are just there size. My princess loved this area & went back and forth from this area to the wave pool. It might be because living in the south for years has made me jaded to all things water, but this area is pretty similar to a lot of the splash pads in southern towns. The Splash pad in Trophy Club where my parents live might actually be a tad bit more exciting & it's free. It's not hard to impress toddlers though so the area will work ;-)  Hungry? Well Splash Lagoon has many fabulous food options! Weather you are after a slice of pizza, a beer, an ice cream cone, candy, or maybe a nice sit down dinner, they have all the dinning options your family might need right there! No need to leave the property. I totally recommend drinking a coconut drinkie :-)  Daily rates are pretty average too! Wish I would of known 2 year olds were free before our visit because we so would of made the trip along time ago ;-)  If you have a kiddo that's alittle more adventurous, or if you & your hubby are big kids at heart, you can always add on some pretty sweet thrills for afew dollars more! We didn't try any of these activities since we were with a toddler & doing them solo didn't sound that great, but they did look pretty fun :):)  Still looking for a spring break getaway?!? Well it's not too late!!! Killer $80 deal going on right now! A $60 savings!!!! To check this fabulousness out and much more go ahead and click the link below for more info :):)

My kids would LOVE that place. We have some indoor water parks around here and they are perfect in the winter time. 4/6/2015 10:53:58 am
Yes I agree, these indoor water parks are the best in you live up north. We Iive in Miami so we don't have that problem though. 4/6/2015 10:55:16 am
I love an indoor water park. I love playing in the water, but I hate remembering to put on sunscreen and getting burned. None of that when you're indoors! 4/6/2015 11:21:09 am
My grandkids love indoor water parks. The one at Great Wolf Lodge is their favorite. Splash Lagoon looks like loads of fun, too. 4/6/2015 11:47:30 am
I LOVE waterparks! I grew up in Texas and we had Schlitterbahn. Omg... So much fun and then I moved to Cali and of course had all that water and now in the Midwest. Yup. Smack dab center of the US with no beaches. Makes me want to look into water parks around here.

That place looks like so much fun! We get a lot of snow and don't have much to do during the Winter, this would be awesome. 4/6/2015 02:28:45 pm
I found waterparks to be very expensive for what you get. I think my kids would love it though.

Awh my Dad used to take me to places like Splash Lagoon when I was a child. It looks like so much fun! 4/6/2015 11:12:28 pm
Indoor water parks are nice even in Texas. Once it gets to be a billion degrees outside, it's too hot to do anything outside!

That looks like an excellent place to take the kids. I bet you and your family had a great visit too. Loved your pictures. 4/7/2015 03:35:41 am
That looks like an amazingly fun place and I can see why your little one was excited to spend her birthday there. 4/7/2015 03:38:56 am
With the not-so-god weather we are having recently at our neck of the woods, Splash Lagoon sounds like a paradise. It looks like a paradise! 4/7/2015 04:38:29 am
I LOVE waterparks, thankfully we live in south Florida and fun in the sun comes easily. Although my kiddo is still a little young to enjoy all of that. But soon! This one looks awesome though! 4/7/2015 04:49:23 am
That looks so fun! We have something similar over here. We may have to go there for my daughter's 4th birthday and my son's 2nd birthday. 4/7/2015 05:57:44 am
What a fun trip! I am so glad you all had fun. I was unsure about taking my little one to a water park, but it looks like fun! 4/7/2015 09:58:25 am
I know exactly what you mean! I grew up in Oklahoma and spent majority of my life down there. Sun all the time and the winter doesnt last long. Now I am in Michigan where the winter doesnt seem to want to end! 4/7/2015 02:53:04 pm
I love indoor water-parks. It is the best alternative for winter here in the northeast.

This looks like so much fun. I wish we had one close to us. My kids would love it. There is an outdoor one about two hours away that the kids love to go to in the summer.

We need one of these in south Florida. During the summer it is too hot to go to water parks because the concrete is really hot still. We have little splash playgrounds, but wow, this indoor water park looks amazing! 4/7/2015 07:20:50 pm
$80 for a spring getaway is perfect for a family. we have always wanted to visit a water park. 4/7/2015 10:05:02 pm
Sounds like it was a whole lot of fun! <3 I'm glad everyone had a good time. 4/8/2015 12:22:43 am
Indoor water parks are def the coolest things ever! To be able to go and have fun at any time of the year is always a great bonus. 4/8/2015 02:31:15 am
I just love water slides. I can't wait until my grandsons are a little older so I can take them to a water park. 4/8/2015 06:04:51 am
We have something similar here in Tennessee and took my son there for his birthday last year. We had the most fun hands down of any place we have visited so far.

I'm a big fan of the indoor water parks too. My son and teen daughter both love to go, and it's hard to find things they both like the same amount now that the teen is older.

the tiki bar is calling my name! sounds like a fun time, but i am in florida! an indoor water park is so unusual lol 4/8/2015 03:38:19 pm
Wow, that looks like a total blast! I've never even heard of splash lagoon before! 4/9/2015 12:49:59 am
Waterparks are so much fun! We have an indoor splash park (probably different company) about an hour's drive from us. Definitely enticing during the winter months, particularly this winter when we saw subzero weather. 4/9/2015 03:43:58 pm
this looks like a lot of fun! i don't think i've been to a water park since i was.. maybe in college? it's been too long. :) 4/9/2015 07:27:50 pm
Splash Lagoon seems to be a super fun place. It can be for all ages. 4/9/2015 11:36:07 pm
This place looks amazing! I can see why kids (and some adults) would absolutely love visiting! What fun. 4/9/2015 11:36:27 pm
What an exciting indoor water park. It looks like kids had a blast. Mine would love it too 4/10/2015 11:53:05 am
Indoor water parks are awesome especially if you don't want to get tanned. Looks like a good place to have fun! 4/10/2015 12:23:04 pm
I've never been to an indoor water park, but I love the idea! I'm so fair skinned it's silly, and I burn way too easily, but I LOVE goofing off on water slides and stuff. I wonder if there are any of these near my home...
