You must think we're crazy for featuring a water park, of all places, during this time of year. However, few people realize that this specific destination is open all year-round. Yes, even during the winter! Plan yourself a beach day and make plans to bring the entire family out to this Idaho water park. It's summer all year long at this indoor beach and it's the perfect thing for adding some excitement to your winter. Take a look:
Are you the type of person that eagerly counts down the days until summer, or at least until the end of winter? It turns out there's one destination in Idaho where the living is easy all year long, and you need to plan a visit.
Silver Rapids Indoor Waterpark is located in the North Idaho town of Kellogg. Even during the stark cold days of winter, you can visit this water park and pretend that summer is here. The weather may be cold outside, but that doesn't mean the fun needs to stop.
The beachy indoor water park is open all year long and maintains a cozy temperature of 84 degrees even on the coldest of days.
The park is considered part of Silver Mountain Resort and it's an amenity for guests at the Morning Star Lodge. Admission is included in your stay at the lodge, but day use admittance is also available for groups.
One of the park's most notable attractions is the FlowRider—a standing wave that you can surf or body boar on continuously. This is the closest thing you'll get to ocean waves here in Idaho, and it's pretty amazing.
Another popular attraction is the 315-foot lazy river that slowly takes floaters around the entirety of the park. Other attractions include water slides, splash pads, and an area for dedicated solely for young children who are just getting used to the water.
Additionally, the semi-private cabanas are the perfect place to relax in between activities. It may be winter, but you can still sit back and enjoy some tropical paradise. Do something different this season and plan a visit to Silver Rapids!
