Castaway Bay Resort review and giveaway

** 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.

Castaway Bay Sandusky review

Castaway Bay wave pool

Castaway Bay Sandusky Ohio 1

Toddler’s Tide Pool has three slides, spraying gadgets and more!

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

  • A craft and child activity center
  • Face painting/baloons
  • Family movie and story time with Snoopy

This might be the weirdest shopping habit that act This might be the weirdest shopping habit that actually saves me money every year. 👀✏️  Because back-to-school season isn’t just for back-to-school shopping! Here are three reasons I always grab a few extras:  1️⃣ Extra for later: I buy extra school supplies NOW while prices are at their lowest so I can restock later in the school year. Those pencils, notebooks and glue sticks always seem to disappear right when the prices go back up!  2️⃣ Office supplies: Back-to-school sales aren’t just for students. NOW is the time to stock your home office and grab supplies for work because some of the best office-supply deals happen during this season.  3️⃣ Donations: I love donating supplies to my kids’ classroom teachers, especially when they were younger. Plus, @voathrift is participating in Operation Backpack! Donate school supplies or gently used items through July 31, and you’ll receive a 30% off coupon to use in-store during August! 🎒💛  Do you buy extra school supplies too, or only what’s on the list? 👇  #BackToSchool #SchoolSupplyDeals #OperationBackpack #volunteersofamerica

🦁✨ Look behind the stage of Disney's @thelionking 🦁✨ Look behind the stage of Disney's @thelionking at @playhousesquare  My son and I saw the show last week, and it completely blew us away. The costumes, the music, the puppetry... it was one of the most incredible productions we've ever seen. ❤️ DON'T be late! The opening number is quite a unique experience.  The next morning, we went back for a behind-the-scenes tour, and it made us appreciate the show even more! We learned that some of the masks are made with real horsehair, got to see how the amazing puppets are operated on stage, and discovered one of my favorite fun facts... Zazu's neck is made from a slinky! 🤯  Another fun surprise? Rob Sapp, who plays Ed, one of the hyenas, is from Solon, Ohio! 🙌 I always love hearing about local talent making it to Broadway, and it made the experience even more special knowing there was an Ohio connection.  It's amazing how much creativity, engineering, and artistry go into bringing this beloved story to life. Whether you've seen the animated movie once or a hundred times, seeing it on stage is an unforgettable experience.  🎭 Disney's The Lion King is at Playhousesquare through August 16, and I can't recommend it enough. If it's on your bucket list, now's the time!  💛 Have you seen The Lion King on stage? Or tell me your favorite Broadway show in the comments! 👇  #bwycle #thelionking #clevelandmom #ohiofindithere

This family-friendly attraction features both a drive-through safari and a walk-through park where you can get up close to hundreds of amazing animals from around the world.  One of our favorite parts of the day was adding on the Capybara Feeding Experience! Capybaras are the world's largest rodents, and getting to feed these gentle, social animals was such a unique experience. For a small additional fee, the park also offers several other animal encounters, so you can customize your visit with even more unforgettable memories.
