Planning your family vacation but worried about it getting rained out? Check out one of these best indoor water parks in the United States!

Indoor water parks are a great part of summer. They are inside away from the hot summer sun and they are designed to keep families entertained for hours on end. Indoor water parks are also ideal for winter when it is cold and snowy outside but kids still want to play in the water like it is summer all over again. Here are some of the best indoor water parks in the United States.

    We live in Arizona and most of what we have are outdoor water parks, which I understand since it’s always hot here! But as a person that really can’t stand this heat, I would very much prefer an indoor water park. I guess it’s time to visit some of the cooler states!

    Not close to any on this list, but I agree indoor water play areas and pools really are the best for all seasons. I know we like to use our gym’s pool all year round.
