Indoor Water Fun & Cape Codder Hotel

Over the long weekend, we were looking for a place to take the kids for some indoor water fun. We wanted to do CoCo Key in Fitchburg but the pool is closed on Tuesday & Wednesdays.

We decided to go back to the Cape Codder in Hyannis. They have a great wave pool with 2 water slides along with an adult hot tub and 2 saunas. The kids had a blast although my 2yo was pretty scared of the wave pool at first...but he got used to it. We stayed overnight at the Cape Codder for $99 which included the pool and a $10 coupon off dinner at the Hearth & Kettle which was in the hotel. The rooms were nice, basic rooms. We had 2 double beds but our friends were smart and asked for a free upgrade and they got 2 queen beds for the same price. We've been to the Cape Codder before and would definitely go back!

The latest issue of Family Fun Magazine has a list of indoor water parks in the February issue for more ideas!

Water Wizz

If you are tired of the heat and looking for something cool to do, you have to hit Water Wizz in Wareham. It is a water park that looks small from the street but once you get in there, it is packed with things to do. From the last river, small slides, big slides, pirate slide and the wave pool. You will find something to keep you cool!! Anyone under 48” has to have a life jacket on, so if you have one that your child likes bring it. They have free ones to use but they aren’t very stylish and sort of hard to maneuver when on the lazy river in a tube. We went with my sons cub scout pack so we had discounted tickets. It was really worth the trip.

Normally :Admission - $30.00; under 48" and seniors (65)- $15.00. All children under 48" must follow the 48" rule (life jackets). Children 2 and under are FREE. Group rates are less depending on the size of your group 25 is the minimum for a group.

You can find coupons at $2 off coupons when available at participating Burger King, Tedeschis/Lil'l Peach Stores.

They are located on Route 28 in Wareham and it is open from 10 -6 usually, verify at the website http://www.waterwizz.com/. If you plan to spend the day it is worth the $ as you will be able to ride anything you want all day long. There is an adventure island for little ones with pint size slides and for those who aren’t afraid of anything try the pirate plunge, it is a water slide partially in the dark and it is fast and scary. What a ride!!!

My children had a ball in the wave pool. The pool starts and stops on a schedule. The kids really loved going in deep and waiting for the waves to start, then they kept hopping the waves until it was done and wait to do it all over again.

I loved the lazy river as I could park my butt on a tube and float around for hours and enjoy the sounds of waterfalls and kids laughing and screaming with excitement!!!

Plus the best thing is you can bring in your own snacks/lunch (less glass bottles) and drinks. Or you can hop across the street to Burger King to grab lunch and then go back for more fun on the slides!
The only down fall for me was that my camera wasn't waterproof so I didn't get to take a lot of pictures.
