A Splashtastic Start for Little Adventurers
Kalahari understands that even the tiniest of adventurers deserve a big splash. For your youngest explorers, three dedicated areas cater to their needs:
- Tiko’s Watering Hole: This oasis features gentle water play structures, baby swings, and a splash pad, perfect for introducing little ones to the joys of water.
- Coral Cover: Here, the scenery changes with more mini slides, interactive water features, and even a kid-sized basketball court to keep little bodies entertained.
- Splashdown Safari: Calling all medium-sized thrill seekers! This area boasts a thrilling bucket dump feature, exciting medium-sized slides, and a lazy river perfect for a relaxing float. This was a haven for my hesitant water-slider son, offering just the right amount of excitement.
Family Fun and Easy Breezy Slides:

The VR Experience: A Whole New Level of Thrills
Kalahari offers a unique VR (virtual reality) experience that takes your water slide ride to a whole new level. For an additional fee, you can choose from five different VR adventures to experience while riding the Anaconda slide. Imagine soaring through a safari, battling dragons, or racing down a neon road – all while whooshing down a thrilling water slide! Just a pro-tip: tighten those goggles! The ride can be bumpy, and a loose goggle might leave you with a sore nose.
Beyond the Slides: Fun for Everyone
Kalahari Poconos offers more than just slides! Take a break from the thrills and relax in the wave pool, drift along the lazy river, or test your surfing skills on the FlowRider (lessons available!). Feeling peckish? Grab a bite to eat at the in-waterpark Zulu Grill, offering pizzas, burgers, and vegetarian options. Adults can unwind with a refreshing cocktail at one of the three swim-up bars conveniently located throughout the park.
