Boston can get pretty cold in the winter, and sometimes you need a warming break. You may not have the time and money to go on a vacation to a beach resort, but indoor water resorts in the Boston area offer a chance to go swimming with family and friends and maybe stay a night or two.
CoCo Key Water Resort is in Danvers, Massachusetts, 19 miles from Boston, and it offers indoor water slides and pools. It is part of the Crown Plaza hotel in Danvers. The 65,000-square-foot indoor water park includes body slides, tube slides, a lazy river, a wave pool, kiddie slides, an indoor/outdoor whirlpool spa, an activity pool, and an interactive play structure with tipping bucket. If you are planning a visit to Coco Key Water Resorts, it offers different options to enjoy the park. You can spend the weekend and purchase a package deal ranging from $150 to $300 a weekend, or you can decide to just go for a few hours and purchase a day pass ranging from $25 to $40.
