Has anyone visited this KCK attraction yet?

The wifey wants to go there with with me and the kids for a quick getaway before the schoolyear starts.

Do any of you have a review?

Thanks.

I've heard it's fun, but somewhat expensive. I think a room and passes to the waterpark are somewhere between $180-250.

Right now, the Lodge is offering an overnight family stay room rate for $179.

I did further checking on the website to determine if this includes passes to the waterpark. Short of making a phone call, I'm assuming it does.

If that price does include waterpark passes, the cost makes a little more sense.

Time to make the phone call.

I haven't been there, but from the descriptions in newspaper articles, the water stuff doesn't sound too different from a lot of what you already can get at Oceans of Fun (e.g., 10,000-gallon water bucket) for a lot less. I guess it depends on how much you'd be willing to pay for a nice hotel room at a Hyatt or Sheraton. If you're already planning to shell out $150 or so for a suite, then maybe the extra $30 or so for the water park (rolled into your room price) doesn't sound too steep.

That's kinda what I was thinking, KC0KEK.

First....a ticket to Oceans of Fun are what, $30 per person?

$30 x 4 would be $120, leaving the room cost at $59.

Looking at it that way seems to make it a decent deal assuming the water park is any good.

Our main objective is just to get away for an overnight stay locally....mainly for the kids....at a nice hotel that offers more than just an indoor pool.

This seems like a great opportunity.
