My family, which consists of my husband, 3 yr old and twin 6 month babies as well as our au pair, visited Kalahari in early May. We really loved the indoor water park because it had something for everyone--even the babies! There was a mini-lazy river and seats where the twins could dangle their legs and jump in the water....

Thank you for taking the time to review our Resort. We are glad you found different things for the whole family to enjoy. I am sorry about the cigarette butts on your patio. I will pass a note on to Housekeeping about that to make sure it will not happen again. It'll be time for those big waterslides soon! Thanks... More

No need to go anywhere else. Kalahari has something, alot of somethings for everyone. The indoor amusement park blew us all away. We did not get to bowl or go to a move but we will next time.

Stayed over the winter months so only had access to the indoor water park. Was enjoyable and there were plenty of options for our weekend but if it was anything longer than that it would have gotten tedious. I would love to return in the summer when everything is up and running!

Thank you for coming to visit us! Hopefully the indoor park provided some warmth to the cold winter months. Also, we just added the new Swim-up bar and Indoor/Outdoor whirlpool, which opened in December and open year-round. Hopefully when you were here, you were able to check that out too! With that said, the outdoor park is so fun too!... More

We've been here 4 or 5 times and have always found the staff to be courteous, friendly, and helpful. It's a resort, and they want you to come back. :-) The water park, hot tubs, and whirl pools,are fun and relaxing. One year the kids also did the amusement park which we thought was a bit pricey, but they had... More

We took advantage of Kalahari during the week and during off-season. It was much nicer and less crowded. The place is amazing for a family but it's also amazingly expensive if you want to get a nice room. We usually rent the King Whirlpool Suite and it's pricey. The amenities are great though and access to everything is simple. The... More

Took advantage of the 5pm day pass to the indoor water park. If you have young children this is all the time you'll need as the park is quite small. Purchased day pass and locker online and received both admission bracelet and locker room key right at 5. The locker is a typical gym locker, large enough for a backpack,... More

Thank you for taking the time to so thoroughly review our waterpark. I'm glad to hear that you were able to take advantage of our after 5 wristband. I am discouraged to hear that you thought of our waterpark small, as it is the largest Indoor Waterpark in Wisconsin and 2nd in the county, just behind out other property. However,... More

It was a blast to be able to relax in the hot tub with a blended drink!! If you bring the Kalahari cup back to them the price to refill it is almost half the price of the drink you got with the cup!! Very well worth it!!

This is my review for our family trip to the Dells' waterparks. I reviewed the hotels separately. We did not include Great Wolf Lodge on this trip because we have one closer to home. I think our decision to hit multiple water parks was great because we got to experience different things at each park. We spent 2 nights (1... More

We've stayed at the Kalahari before but this time we did the day pass to the waterpark for 2 days and stayed at the Holiday Inn Express. It saved us over $300 for the 2 days. This review is only for the waterpark itself. The place is huge and it pulls in big crowds at spring break. For the most... More

As we continually renovated and improve the whole resort yearly, I am discouraged to hear your thoughts of the park.

Outside of the cabinets, refrigerator & menus were filthy in the cabana.Floors in the bathrooms & locker rooms were not just dirty from one day's use - you can see they are not cleaned daily.
