Indoor waterparks in Arizona, New York and New Jersey

Five brand new waterparks will open to guests in 2019 across America.

Great Wolf Lodge Arizona – The company famous for practically starting the trend of indoor water park resorts will open their newest location in the Scottsdale, Arizona area in 2019. The resort will feature an 85,000 sqft indoor temperature controlled water park attached to a resort with 350 suites.

The Kartrite Hotel & Indoor Waterpark – Opening in 2019 in Catskills New York, comes a new indoor water park resort from the creators of the Camelback Resort. This new nature themed resort features 324 suites and a two-acre indoor water park space designed by Aquatic Development Group. It is inspired by the architecture of the indoor water parks in Europe and will feature a barrel-shaped transparent Texlon roof that will allow sunlight inside year-round. Not only does this allow sunbathing at any time of the year, planned tropical plants inside can also thrive and create a unique indoor environment not seen at any other indoor water park in the US.
