Get a thrill from sliding down a four-story waterslide or watch your toddler splash in a kid pool. Minnesota hosts a number of family-friendly indoor water parks that can be enjoyed year-round. These water parks features slides, lazy rivers and special play areas just for toddlers. Since most water parks are attached to hotels, they make the perfect destination for family vacations. - Located at the Holiday Inn Hotel and Suites in Maple Grove, the Venetian Water Park lays just minutes away from Minneapolis. Since the park is indoors, it can be enjoyed year-round by the entire family---sunshine, rain or snow. The 25,000-square-foot park features a four-story waterslide, a children's pool called the Bambini Piscini for toddlers and a 20-person spa for adults. Designed to resemble the streets of Venice, the water park's décor includes cobblestone streets, a gondola and a replica of the Rialto Bridge. If you get tired of swimming, you can also visit the arcade located in the water park. To create a special birthday for your child, plan his birthday party at the water park. The birthday package includes swim time, food, drinks and game tokens. Only guests at the Holiday Inn Hotel can access the Venetian Water Park making it fun and safe for you and your family.
