Indoor water parks with a newborn?

Family suggested we go to Khalahari is August. Our youngests would be around 3 months. I worry about the smell and their little lungs. Anyone have any advice?

We took a 2 month old to a place with an indoor pool. Wasn't afraid of air... but I wouldn't go in water.

Tbe fumes in there are harsh and my eyes and throat were burning after a while as an adult.
I wouldn't have an infant in there for an extended period of time.

We went to Great Wolf when my youngest was three months. She was fine. We didn't bring her in the water though.

To me, indoor water parks are like Petri dishes and chemical labs combined. Would not bring a 3 month old.

Nope. Definitely not. Indoor water parks in the summer are like coxsackie petri dishes.

Agreed. Even as an adult I don't like share public pools or water parks so my kids will likely never experience these things because I'm so grossed out :-/

I wouldn't.. but there are other fun trips you could do with them. Maybe check out things to do in Philly. The Philadelphia Zoo is great and lots of open air. (I didn't find it smelly at all, very well maintained and BIG)

Three months seems too young, but I did take dd many years ago when she was about seven months old.

3 months seems young but I will say Kalahari is really good for infants. They have tables where they can sit in and play etc.
