Family Activities & Kids Club Fun
Several different poolside experiences throughout the five-acre Explorer Island water park appeal to all age groups, making the resort an ideal option for multi-generational travel. While adults relish the sanctuary of the Oasis adult-only pool, kids will have a blast zooming down the waterslides and floating on the lazy river, while little ones will enjoy the zero-entry interactive splash zone. The whole family will enjoy the infinity-edge Explorer Pool, featuring holiday movie classics on the Dive-In Movie screen such as Elf and The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.
The Kids For All Seasons complimentary kids camp, open daily for ages 4-12 with interactive programming, has an array of organized activities planned for resort guests throughout the festive season. From story time with Santa and Mrs. Claus, gingerbread crafts, “Winter Sing-Along” supervised swim time and much more, the Kids For All Seasons team has a thoughtfully orchestrated schedule to provide fun for all ages.
On Saturday nights, parents can experience a romantic evening to themselves while kids ages 4-12 are entertained with paid evening programming from 5:00-8:00pm at “Explorer Island Takeover”, and teens ages 13-17 enjoy an after-hours movie and swim from 8:00pm-10:00pm.
