Great time for the kids
My family especially enjoyed the water slides. You get a 1-person or 2-person inner tube and climb up several stories of stairs to the top of the slides. You then pick your slide – Black Out Pass was our favorite – in this one, you speed down the dark slide into a huge bowl where you spin around in the bowl until you get to the bottom – then you shoot down yet another slide into the pool. My husband and I rode this slide with my sons several times. Ambush Alley and Raging Bull are similar slides that will allow racing. We had several races and it seemed that my kids always won for some reason! The Shootout Racer is another great slide that you ride head-first into on mats. It is a great slide for racing competitions (up to 4 people at a time). For more information and to see what these slides look like, see this link: http://www.fortrapids.com/public/waterpark/attractions/ We also enjoyed the Activity Pool and played several games of family basketball there. This area also has a more traditional pool area if that is more your speed. There is also a rope challenge that my 9-year old couldn’t get enough of. The resort has 227 rooms and 60 suites. There is dining on the premises with all sorts of convenient dining options off-premises if you desire. At the end of the day, Fort Rapids Water Resort is a great way for the family to spend a fun-filled day or two or three. I highly recommend Fort Rapids for great family fun in the Columbus, Ohio area!

Indoor Waterpark
The waterpark is a lot of fun. Warm water with lots of space for the little kids to play. The hotel room however, was horrible. The shower/tub would not drain, walls were paper thin, and the bunk bed rails were way too low. There was no room service menu or hotel restaurant menus in the room. Over all I would definately go back to the waterpark, but I would not stay the night again.
Tips for Families
Bring towels for the waterpark and plan on staying somewhere else for the night.
