First time guest or just need a reminder? Don’t worry. We’ve got you. Here’s everything you need to know + what to do if you still have questions.

YES! Waterpark is INCLUDED with your stay for all registered guests.

This depends on how many guests are already coming and the room style. Certain rooms can only accommodate a specific number of guests. If there is still space to add additional guests to your room, for a nightly fee (this amount does vary) you can update your reservation here. Or text us at 419-549-5210 to find out your options.

You can do that online! Just click here, and use this Confirmation Number and email. Note: If your confirmation numbers starts with an "R", please remove that when entering in your info.

Check-in time begins at 4:00pm. Waterpark access is available as early as noon. Just head to the Resort Front Desk to pre-register and get your wristbands. We’ll text you when your room is ready.

Pro Tip: Pack a waterpark bag to make changing a breeze. There are waterpark locker rentals available for personal items.

Check-out is no later than 11:00am. After check-out, we invite you to stay a little longer and enjoy the waterpark till 3:00pm.

While we do our best to accommodate all our guests’ requests, we aren’t able to guarantee that we can do so with all the requests we receive in a day. However, please feel free to text us here 419-549-5210 and we will do our best.

In order to provide a smoother and safer transaction for our guests and associates, our resort is 100% cashless. We accept credit and mobile payments (Apple/Google Pay) as well as room charges through your RFID wristband. Should you arrive on property with only cash, we do have kiosks to exchange your dollars onto a Mastercard that can be used anywhere Mastercard is accepted. You can learn more here.

In an effort to make things a bit easier for you during your stay, we’re giving you more ways to pay. All guests will now receive blue NFC room-charging wristbands that will be pre-authorized with $200 for all rooms. After presenting the credit card that was used to make your reservation, the front desk will require this $200 authorization (you may use an additional / different card) upon arrival. This allows for convenient room charging throughout the resort, at the waterpark, restaurants, the spa, and all retail areas. There is no need to carry around your credit card. Simply tap the Kalahari Logo on your blue wristband when you’re ready to pay. But remember, you still need a Photo ID when purchasing alcoholic beverages.

You can use your wristband for charges from check-in until your final departure. Anything unused will be returned in 3-5 business days. When guests charge $150 of their $200 pre-authorized funds, additional funds will be automatically reauthorized. First, the amount for the room charge transaction, then up to $50 per guest for each remaining night of their stay. For more info, please see the front desk upon arrival. 

No, for the safety of all of our guests, no outside food or beverages are allowed within the waterpark. If you have specific dietary needs, please connect with us via text prior to discuss your options: 419-549-5210

You can bring your own towels or we have towels available for rent for resort guests at the towel station within the Waterpark. As long as the towels are returned, there's no charge for our overnight guests. Remember, some wet kiddos can get a chill walking to and from the waterpark and the room, even if it’s all inside. Pro Tip: Bring robes for the short walk.

Obviously, you've come to the right place. Plus up your special stay with add-ons like a Birthday Cake, Surprise Box, snacks and a whole lot more. Click here to see your options. 

In effort to meet each guest’s comfort level, traditional housekeeping stay-over service is available upon request. Daily 'Refresh' Service will be offered to exchange towels, remove trash, and replenish any amenities needed.

We care about bringing you the best, so occasionally we need a moment to refresh. Please click here to review any potential ride or attraction closures.
