What if I need to cancel my reservation? You will be refunded your deposit less a $25 processing fee so long as you cancel more than 72 hours prior to your arrival date. If your plans change at the last minute (or within those 72 hours), call us and we’ll try to rebook your trip for different dates. You would only forfeit your deposit if we couldn’t rebook your getaway at all.
When does the waterpark open? Hours can vary seasonally, so check your copy of “Lodge Life” at check-in.
Can we bring pets? No, for the health and comfort of all of our guests, we do not allow any pets into the Lodge. Many locations can refer you to local pet hotels or boarding options.
How many lifeguards do you have? You’ll see the 100’s of lifeguards we employ as part of our Risk Management Program and you may observe some of the regular drills and tests performed during operations. What you may not see, is the extensive training and certification these guards receive through aquatic risk management authority Ellis & Associates. Ellis & Associates also performs multiple unannounced operational audits each year testing our professionalism, scanning techniques, rescue skills and emergency response.
