4. Fort Mackenzie
This four-story interactive treehouse water fort offers 12 levels of super-soaking fun for the family. Younger kids can climb with their parents to reach the slides at the top. The older ones can make their way over suspension bridges and cargo nets to spray stations and soaker buckets. There's a 1,000-gallon tipper that sits atop Fort Mackenzie. Every few minutes, the warning bell clangs, and the bucket begins to tip its contents over the roof and onto the group below.
5. Slides and Rides
Courtesy Great Wolf Lodge
River Canyon Run is one of the great signature slides. Pack the entire family into a raft and take a wild ride together.
On Coyote Canyon you will twist, turn and loop back and forth along the 436-foot enclosed slide. Once you exit the darkness, the Cannon spits you into the splash pool.
Crooked Creek is a winding, lazy river. Adults love to just go with the flow and relax as the current takes you for a lazy ride.
