The slides will be supplied by WhiteWater West. There will also be a spa pool (“Lost Lagoon”), a zero-depth entry pool with tanning edges (“Watering Hole Pool”) and a swim-up bar for adults (“The Grotto”). For children, there will be a kiddie slide pool called “Coral Cove”.

“Kalahari could not be more excited to announce this indoor waterpark expansion in the Wisconsin Dells, the Waterpark Capital of the World! With new slides, pools, a swim-up bar, spas, and more, there’s something for every member of the family to enjoy,” enthuses Todd Nelson, CEO, owner, and founder of Kalahari Resorts. “My wife and I opened the first Kalahari Resorts in the Dells 24 years ago, and it’s been an incredible journey. Kalahari is so much more than a waterpark – It’s a place where families can come together. After two and a half decades of creating memories here in Wisconsin Dells, we’re excited to expand our offerings and invite even more families to experience the spirit of togetherness,” he says. ■
