We had a great stay. We were going to be staying at another resort, but I was uncomfortable with the reviews that I saw. So when tripadvisor showed Kalahari I immediately called and they had rooms available. We got the king size bed with fold away bed in living room. The room was great! My only complaint about the room... More

We went here in the winter for something to do with the kids. I didn't think the price was too bad. we stayed at the resort so the tickets to the waterpark are included, which i calculated to be cheaper than staying at a cheaper hotel & buying tickets to waterpark. I purchased a family meal pack that was inexpesive... More

Thanks for visiting! Sometimes those pizza meal deals are the best way to go when feeding a small family. While at the waterpark I hope you all went down a few of the waterslides. My favorite one is the Zip Coaster where you feel a bit of weightlessness while being propelled at fast speeds through the 500 feet of the... More

Have been here many times because until other waterparks opened. The Kalahari is very nice and has everything you could think of to do. Depending on the location of your room you could have a very long walk to get to the waterpark. Also, the waterpark can be very crowded.

Thank you for coming back so many times to enjoy the Waterpark. By this time I bet you've tried every slide. If you haven't yet, on your next trip, try to make a visit outside to the Safari Outdoor Adventure Park. Take care and we hope to see you again soon. More

We went to the Kalahari Convention Center for Colossalcon, an anime convention. The convention center was great, bright, clean, inviting, a great place for an event. Highly recommended for conventions. The waterpark is very good, but a bit tired. The day pass ($28 to $38) is a good deal if you stay at other hotels. The indoor waterslides, wave pools,... More

I am happy to hear you enjoyed Colossalcon and it being hosted at our Convention Center which is the region's largest. Also, I am happy you were able to spend the day at our Waterpark for the day. Besides the wave pool, I hope you went on a few water rides while you were in there. The Zip Coaster is... More

Stayed there over the May long weekend holiday (Canadian holiday). The bad: Room was showing signs of wear (dents in appliances, window blinds broken, poor TV picture, nearly useless fireplace). Thought for sure an episode of "Cops!" was about to start filming on Saturday. The OK: Atmosphere was much improved on Sunday/Monday (will likely move dates next year to Sunday... More

So much to do inside and out! Don't just come for the day. You have to stay to experience all they have to offer. Beautiful, clean, family friendly spot. Several restaurants, shopping, zip line, animal park, inside pools and water activities, outside pools and water activities, pottery, huge arcade, and sooooo much more! You won't be disappointed.

Okay, here's the story. I am officially a card-carrying geezer. Grouchy, wrinkly,sloth-like, and not fond of wa wa. So what do I do if I take a busload of elementary students and some super nice, and attentive chaperones to America's largest indoor waterpark? Read on. It's not that I can't swim, it's just that I would need a seventeen-piece swimsuit... More

Thank you for such a detailed and comforting review. It was really entertaining to read. It warmed my heart how your perspective of our Resort changed after your visit. I am so happy the elementary school students AND all the chaperons had such a good time. We offer activities for all ages and I am so glad you explored most... More
