Kalahari Resort Pocono Mountains' incredible hospitality and plethora of deluxe rooms (457, to be exact) make it a must-visit Pennsylvania destination!

Of course, there's the small matter of the 100,000 square foot indoor waterpark. We say that ironically, of course, as it's impossible to miss such a sprawling complex, filled with wet 'n' wild fun!

Go stand-up surfing or body boarding on the FlowRider, zoom down the Anaconda and Swahili Swirl waterslides, or relax only the incredibly lazy river.
