Any tips or tricks? I’m going with 2 11 month olds and a 5 year old. What is the temperature like in the restaurant is it 84 in there too?

What should I pack?

Re: Kalahari

You will have a blast! It's awesome.

Bring their own puddle jumpers if they have them or life vests. All children under a certain height- I think it's 48 inches must wear life vests or puddle jumpers in the water park. They are strict about it to and go around checking.
They have life vests but DD was always more comfy in her puddle jumper so I brought it.

The restaurant is not 84 degrees- LOL. Other than the waterpark the rest of the place is a normal temp. You can wear jeans, leggings, whatever.

I am not a fan of buffets so we had breakfast in the Ivory Coast restaurant in the lobby. It's ala carte and fine for breakfast.

If you want a good lunch or dinner offsite, Barley Creek Brewery is nearby and so good. Has a great kids' menu too

Bring snacks for the room- there is a fridge. I don't think you can bring snacks to the water park though.

The towels they give out in the waterpark are tiny so if you want larger ones bring your own.

The food court outside the waterpark in the arcade sucks- avoid it. It was very disorganized and confusing too.

Let me know if you think of any specific questions.

We love Kalahari. My almost 5 year old is obsessed.

Definitely do dinner at the Brewery.

We always bring a couple of bathing suits because I hate putting on a wet bathing suit. Same for swimming towels. There is a clothing line on your shower to hang wet bathing suits.

Bring puddle jumpers. My 4 yr old got a rash from the strap on the life vest since it has a strap that goes between the legs and it irritated her.

There is a Dunkin’ Donuts rights down the block so if you want to run out for a quick breakfast.

Re: Kalahari

One more thing.
If you go on a weekend or during a busy time, the best time to be in the waterpark is dinner time.
There are no lines and you can just go up to any slide and ride it without a wait
From like 6-730 or 8 pm.
The waterpark really empties out around that time.
So what we like to do is eat a big lunch or even leave and go for a late lunch, and then just spend the dinner hour in the waterpark taking advantage of no lines.
We then grab a late dinner or just some snacks after we leave.
