Really fun place for the family! There are a lot of fun rides, the play structure for the kids is amazing (2 entry points, ready to watch the kiddos). Food prices are a little rough, however the loaded waffle fries are awesome and the drinks were very good. Highly recommend, probably the best waterpark we've been to in Michigan!

Strictly talking about the Waterpark, nothing really stands out in terms of slides and such. Having the surf wave is a huge boon and really fun. It's an average indoor Waterpark. What separates Avalanche Bay from other places I've been is the life guards. Not only were they attentive, but they were professional and friendly. They were everywhere and I felt confident in letting my kids go about without my supervision, and that my kids would be safe. They were helpful and helped all my kids learn to surf and such. The lifeguards are what make this place great.

Nice room. It wasn't cleaned well when we arrived. Water park bracelet on the floor and the dishes were spotty. The kitchen table had grime and crumbs on it. Outrageous prices at stores and eateries. I know it's a resort, but dang.

Avalanche Bay offered so much fun for my 12, 13, 16, and 18 year old. Many slides and activities to do. Several water slides, a pool with basketball hoops and a bunch of activities, a surfing thing, lazy river, a couple hot tubs, a huge activity tower with lots to do, and a little kid area. Lifeguards. All the safety things. Positives: It really is a great place to go for kids of all ages. Its well kept and clean. My kids had a fantastic time and kept them very busy. Negatives: I feel it's pricey. If you've ever been to Cedar Point or Great America...during the "on" season its similarly priced with not nearly as much to do. But...if you go during a day thats 20 to 30 dollars=worth it. GET THERE EARLY. Lots if seating but definitely not enough to accommodate everyone there. Same for the lockers in the locker room. They were all taken when we got there with no alternatives. So...no seats, no lockers. The locker rooms were quite a mess because of this. THE FOOD: Although there are several restaurants in the resort, they do have a little Cafe eatery in the water park. By 2:30 they had run out of most of their menu (no pizza, garlic, bread, or chicken tenders). They still had hot dogs and cheese curds. The prices are horrendous $6.50 for a hot dog. The pizza price was decent but not available. We were able to go to a nearby pizzeria and order pizzas to go. However...we went during the peak ski season so the wait at any other place was awful. All in all the things that sucked were adult worries and my kids had no idea. They had a great time and it was worth it. Just...get there EARLY.

Just a day trip with the kids. Our first time there, and it was excellent! However, I just wish they had a family changeroom. I'm a single father with 2 young daughters. Instead, we had to wait for a family washroom to change in. It is what it is... we made it work.
