Luckily for folks in Southeastern Wisconsin, water park fun is not just limited to the warm months of summer. These water parks, often affiliated with hotels, offer water slides for the adventurous, pools for the toddlers and rejuvenating spas for the tired.
Head to downtown Milwaukee for a touch of paradise at the Paradise Landing Indoor Waterpark in the Hilton Milwaukee City Center hotel. Guests can enjoy the water slides, unwind in the lazy Lagoon or luxuriate in the 31 person spa. Little kids can frolic in the Kiddy Pool with a fountain in the shape of a Mushroom or a slide that emerges from the side of beached boat. Guests can take a break and stop at the nearby Cabana Cove for snacks or a sandwich.
Please note that Paradise Landing's hours and times of operation vary. Paradise Landing is open to the general public, for a fee, but priority is given to Hilton guests. Hilton guests who book a room with a king size bed will receive three complimentary Paradise Landing passes and guests who book a room with two full-size beds will receive up to five complimentary passes.
