With the recent inclement weather, a lot of Illinoisans are missing summer. Although there are a few more months left before the sunshine and warm weather arrive, there is still a way to enjoy one favorite summertime activity indoors.

The greater Chicagoland area has two indoor water parks: The Great Wolf Lodge in Gurnee and The Water Works in Schaumburg.

The Water Works is a stand-alone indoor water park with water slides, a water playground, a whirlpool and much more. They also provide swim lessons and aquatic aerobics classes and host birthday parties. For more information, click here.

The Great Wolf Lodge is more than just an indoor water park. It has mini golf, a climbing wall, an adventure park, a bowling alley, a ropes course, an arcade and more. There is something for all ages and it is bound to be a blast for the entire family.
