The best indoor water parks near Chicago

By Danielle Braff

Water parks are so much fun that it's a shame most people only experience them during the summer months. Thankfully, we live in Chicago-and we are inundated with indoor water parks within four hours from home. The hardest part: Choosing which one to enjoy.

P.S. We didn't include prices since they all have plenty of specials throughout the winter, so call about their current deals.

KeyLime Cove Indoor Waterpark Resort

Drive time from Chicago 45 minutes, Gurnee

Reason to go It's a small water park, but it's got something for everyone: Three super-scary slides for the adventurous teens and parents, along with multiple smaller slides and a lazy river. When we checked it out on a Monday afternoon, it was practically empty.

Restaurants They've got a few grill and ice cream spots, but we suggest you hop into your car instead. Within a five-minute drive, you'll hit about a dozen restaurants.

Need to know When you're done splashing around, check out the massive arcade area. Most rooms in the hotel have a microwave and a fridge.
