Kalahari Resorts & Conventions runs indoor waterpark resorts with convention centers in Wisconsin, Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia, selling hotel stays, waterpark day passes, dining, spa visits and resort merchandise.
Rooms are booked only on Kalahari's own site, never through travel agents or third-party sites, so any room discount has to go through its booking form.
Kalahari Holdings LLC runs its resorts with an African theme and bills them as America's largest indoor waterparks. Each property puts the waterpark, a family entertainment center, a spa, restaurants and a convention center in one building, and meetings are booked through a separate site, Kalaharimeetings.com. The Sandusky resort sits on the shore of Lake Erie, and the Spotsylvania location is taking reservations ahead of a late 2026 opening.
For families, children under 3 stay free, and overnight guests can use the waterpark from opening time on arrival day until closing on the day they leave. Gift cards cover the resorts in general, Signature Dining and Daylene's Supper Club. Kalahari also collects donations for clean water projects, which it ties to community health and education.
Does Kalahari Resorts & Conventions offer a military discount?

What is Kalahari Resorts & Conventions' return policy?
Resort merchandise comes back within 30 days of purchase, by mail or at any resort shop; without a receipt you get a gift card.
