The Watering Hole Waterpark Expansion, Kalahari Resorts & Conventions, Wisconsin Dells, WI
As part of the new $85 million Wisconsin Dells expansion, OpenAire is designing and building a 185ft wide x 340 ft long retractable roof enclosure with a massive 70ft square cupola that soars 30 ft above the roof peak!
The incredible design and coordination required to build a project of this scale within the constraints of the site are a feat that only the highly experienced OpenAire team can manage!
Kalahari Resorts & Conventions is reinforcing its title of America’s Largest Indoor Waterparks with an exciting $85 million, 75,000-square-foot indoor waterpark expansion at its Wisconsin Dells resort. Construction is now underway, with the expanded portion of the waterpark slated to open in fall 2026.
The highly anticipated glass-enclosed, open-air waterpark with a retractable roof introduces three exciting new water slides: the Wild Wildebeest and Green Python, both six-person raft slides, and the Cheetah Mat Racers, a four-lane racing slide. Guests will enjoy an array of other new attractions as well, including the Lost Lagoon Spa Pool, the Watering Hole Pool with zero-depth entry and tanning ledges, the Coral Cove Kiddie Slide Pool, and The Grotto adult swim-up bar.
“Kalahari could not be more excited to announce this indoor waterpark expansion in the Wisconsin Dells, the Waterpark Capital of the World,” said Todd Nelson, CEO, owner, and founder of Kalahari Resorts. “With new slides, pools, a swim-up bar, spas, and more, there’s something for every member of the family to enjoy!”
In addition to the new waterpark attractions, guests will enjoy a 40’ wide big-screen TV display, additional food and beverage options, and enhanced seating and comfort options, including new cabanas and whirlpool cabanas.
The new indoor waterpark is one of several new amenities and renovations Kalahari has added in recently. Other additions include 237 new rooms, a renovated Spa Kalahari, an all-new splash pad and dry playground, an expansive lobby renovation, and two additional dining options: Sortino’s Italian Kitchen and Cinco Niños, a modern Mexican restaurant and tequila bar.”
