Kalahari in Wisconsin Dells plans glass-enclosed waterpark with retractable roof
Kalahari Resort in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin’s largest indoor waterpark, has some ambitious plans in the works.
The resort on Thursday announced an $85 million, 75,000-square-foot expansion featuring a glass-enclosed waterpark with a retractable roof. Construction has gotten underway, and the new extension of the resort is slated to open in 2026, according to Kalahari’s website.
The open-air waterpark will include three slides: two six-person raft slides called The Wild Wildebeest and Green Python and a four-lane racing slide named The Cheetah Mat Racers.
Other attractions will be part of the expanded area, including the Lost Lagoon Spa Pool and the Watering Hole Pool with zero-depth entry and tanning ledges.
Then there’s the Coral Cove Kiddie Slide Pool for younger children and The Grotto swim-up bar for adults.
Guests will also be able to enjoy a 40-inch wide big-screen TV display, additional food and beverage options, as well as new cabanas and whirlpool cabanas, according to the resort.
