Hope Lake Lodge was amazing to stay at on site while visiting Cascades Indoor Waterpark. We did the 2 day splash package which included food and 2 days of passes for 4 kids. Adults who were spectators had complimentary access to the heated pool and hot tub. Towels provided. Cashless property.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best suited for families with children aged 6 months to 8-9 years old who want a fun afternoon activity. Adults can enjoy heated pools and hot tubs while kids play. However, be prepared for higher prices and bring a card since they don't accept cash.

β€œA fun place to bring the kids for an afternoon. Short story: our kids loved it and it was worth it for us. Nothing especially stand out about it, but was perfect for our afternoon trip. Long story: We went on a Thursday afternoon (4pm-8pm). My 5yo and 2.5yo boys loved it. The kiddie pool wasn’t open at first, they said due to short staffing, but after a little bit it opened up and was open until about 7pm. Luckily he did great on the bigger kid area, but it wasn’t busy. If there were a lot of bigger kids running around on it, he might not have done as well with it. There are 4 larger slides: 2 that required being 42” or taller (they advised adults not to ride these because I would probably hit my head…lol), a larger one that required a tube that you could ride single or double and required being at least 42”, and the fourth required being at least 48” tall. The wave pool was nice enough, there’s a pool and a hot tub that are indoor/outdoor that are fun. The food was classic theme park quality, but we expected it and didn’t mind. I paid $12 for 4 chicken tenders, a soda and fries-which isn’t too bad in my opinion. There are also a few other restaurants nearby that we didn’t try. We dried off and ended the night with a half hour in the small arcade, which was a fun extra activity. Overall not a bad place, fun for kids, and we would come back.”

β€œA pretty nice indoor water park, not so big but good enough for kids from 6 months to 8-9 old to have fun. I wouldn’t say older kids because of limited adventurous water rides. Tickets not very comparably for playing adult or kids over 42 inches $42 compared to six flag resort at about $50 but more luxury rides and options. But non-playing adult is only $18. One specialty worth mentioning is their outdoor heated pool which is awesome during winter time and hot spring (smaller size)Also got arcade games available. Food is average pricing but for hamburger is only bread and beef patty, no lettuce, pickle, tomato or anything.”
