We had previously stayed at The Great Wolf Lodge, and while we enjoyed our stay there we didn't love it. And while I hear great things about the Wilderness, many of the famillies with small children complained about the walking between the waterparks. We decided to try out the Kalahari and we're not disappointed. The atmosphere from when you frist... more

I just noticed that the Kalahari Resort in Sandusky has been cited 5 times for safety issues. On our visit it was very appearant that safety was not the top priority to the teenage lifeguards. The total number of lifeguards on staff was not the problem. In fact, there were lifeguards everywhere...they were mostly chatting and basically doing nothing! It... more

My family and a group of other friends and family decided to venture on a trip to the much talked about Wisconsin Dells. After much research on tripadvisor, resort websites and the Wisconsin Dells tourist magazine, we decided to book with the Kalahari. We booked early spring and got an amazing deal to stay in one of their Village Suites.... more

The advertisement says dancing servers, loud music, bright colors, juggling bartenders. That caught our attention! We were celebrating DH's birthday. We did see a bartender juggle once; no dancing servers; LOUD, and I do mean loud, music; and bright colors that blink on and off and wave in and out-yep, had that for sure. Almost blinds you, especially when you... more

Rooms: 5/5 Service: No comment Value: 4/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Pool: 3/5 I visited the Kalahari last year and enjoyed a lot, and returned this year, this time with a much cheaper room. I was pleasantly surprised to discover a plasma TV and assorted other niceties in the clean, easily enjoyable room. The food in the in-hotel restaurant, however, is rather... more

We just returned from a trip (6/30/08) to the Kalahari resort (Wisconsin Dells). Our review of the resort is very positive. We had stayed at the Wilderness resort the last couple of years (also positive experience), and just thought we would try something new. Looking at the Kalahari website, and reading reviews, we thought Kalahari would be fun for our... more

Kalahari is really a disappointment. We statyed in the Wilderness lodge for two nites and decided to go to the Kalahri for a additional nite. Our check in was fine but our room was extremely small. We stayed in the Sands building and had a corner unit. The faucets in the shower were backwards and my 11 year old daughter... more

Our family just returned from our third stay at the Kalahari Resort & Convention Center in Wisconsin Dells, WI. My daughters count the Kalahari as one of their favorite vacation destinations ever and we were looking forward to our return visit. Sadly, the lustre of this once top notch resort has worn off for this dad. I made our reservation... more

Wow! This place was so much better then we anticipated, even though the pictures were accurate! What a wonderful, spacious place to stay for our family of 15! We each had our own room and didn't feel like we were "on top of each other". Even with our 5 month old baby, I felt I didn't need to tip-toe to... more

On April 18th we stayed at the Kalahari Waterpark and Convention Center. This was our first time and I was a little apprehensive given we have children ages 4 and 9 with different swimming abilities. We got a great promotional rate 109.00 plus tax so we couldn't pass it up. We have stayed numerous times at the Great Wolf and... more
