Raptor Reef

I finally downloaded pictures from our trip to Raptor Reef, a local indoor water park. It was the first time we went to the Water Park and the only thing I want to know is why the heck we didn't go sooner!! It was at least 85 degrees in there (bliss for me) and the water slides were awesome! The wave pool was a blast - - even for Mazlow and Ryder, and the kiddy "park" was so neat. Next Winter, I'm making water park trips a regular ritual for our family.

And I don't want to forget to mention it the next time someone comes to visit and wants to know where to stay... The water park is connected by a heated sky bridge to a cool hotel (Holiday Inn Express) where you can stay & play!

Here is what the water park says about its slides and the wave pool:
Raptor Reef’s main slides all depart from the 66 foot tower.

"Lost Falls" our longest tube slide at almost 400 feet, is full of twists, turns, and thrills sure to excite both single and double tube riders.

"Velociraptor Vortex" is our "Superbowl" ride. It quickly drops you from the tower into a gigantic bowl where you swirl and spin until it finally flushes you into another slide.

"Prehistoric Plunge", is 300 feet of high speed body sliding. Try it if you dare!

Wave Pool: Ride the waves in the wave pool, the only indoor one in the area. With 6 different wave patterns and up to 3 foot waves, it is hard not to imagine you are frolicking in a tropical paradise.

Hot Tubs: With wave pool and slides at 82 degrees and a children activity pool at 86 degrees, we’re sure you’ll be more than comfortable! But if you like it hotter, our indoor/outdoor hot tub will hold up to 40 people and is terrific at 100 degrees. You can even sit outside and still be warm and cozy.

Children’s Aquaplay: Two 30 foot slides designed for younger children and a 300 gallon water dumping bucket are just the beginning! Interactive water cannons and geysers, climbing structures and other water toys all located in a shallow pool are sure to excite children and parents for hours.

Fun for all!
