** Giveaway over. Congrats to Lori Mahlich!
Are you completely done with winter, like I am? The weather has not only been unrelentingly cold but the snow just keeps coming! I can’t wait for warmer temperatures, sand between my toes and the sun upon my face but unfortunately we still have quite a few months to wait. Thankfully, my family was invited to escape winter’s harshness and spend the weekend at Cedar Point’s Castaway Bay Indoor Waterpark! Did you know it’s always a balmy 82° at Castaway Bay?
As soon as we walked through the doors my kiddos squealed with delight when they saw the large pirate ship located right inside the lobby. The tropical decor really helped set the mood and we couldn’t wait to check into our room and change into our suits. Our room had two comfy beds, and large bathroom, mini refrigerator, microwave and screened balcony (of course, it was a little too cold to enjoy that last amenity).
As soon as possible we headed to the indoor waterpark. I wasn’t sure who was more excited me or my boys. Our first stop was the wave pool where we frolicked in the warm waters and jumped in the waves for quite a long time. Another favorite was the indoor/outdoor hot tub that the whole family could enjoy. It was so fun to enjoy a warm soak while there was snow on the ground around us.
Since my two youngest boys (ages 3 and 6) were with me we wound up spending a lot of time in the Toddler’s Tidepool and the Lookout Lagoon Family Funhouse. These areas are perfect for the “kid” in all of us. There are smaller slides in the toddler area along with a zero entry pool. I really liked that I could sit nearby while I watched my boys play. If your child is looking for a bit more adventure, The Lookout Lagoon will be right up their alley. This gigantic multi-story interactive play area has more than 100 different elements, including a 1,000-gallon tipping bucket and water slides.
I was so happy to see my son Mason get adventurous and try out the Congo Crossing at Castaway Bay. He’s never had quite the courage to do this in the past summer’s at Cedar Point’s Soak City so he was excited to make it across the first time. I can’t imagine the strength that takes…and no I did NOT attempt this myself. 🙂
While at Castaway Bay Indoor Waterpark, don’t miss the three Tropical Tubes Slides and Creature Cove. For those of you who dare you can also try out Rendezvous Run which is a 35-foot-high, 520-foot-long water roller coaster that propels riders uphill using water jets. FUN!
Even out of the water, Castaway Bay Resort has a ton of activities for you and your family! Here are just a few:
- 6,000-square-foot state-of-the-art arcade
- Peanut characters meet and greet
- A craft and child activity center
- Face painting/baloons
- Family movie and story time with Snoopy
- Three restaurants
- Retail shops
