Does this sound familiar? A couple of weeks ago, my daughter in law said that with the cold weather, the kids were going crazy in the house. My wife had an idea that turned into a great day. Pack the kids in the car and we will go to Timber Ridge water park in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.
As we have done in the past, Timber Ridge is close enough to take a mid-week escape from a gloomy winter. Kids up to age 12 have a blast with water slides, pools, and arcade games. While we cruize around the lazy river or enjoy some refreshment we know that the kids are in view or close enough to keep track of them. My grandchildren can not get enough of the water park and suddenly are on their best behavior when they know a trip to Timber Ridge is being considered.
If you are looking for a change of pace, or a great reward for the kids, consider doing what we do. Take a short afternoon drive from the Barrington area and enjoy the water park until 9PM. Bring your own snacks and breakfast if you like and check in to your suite where the next morning you can wake up knowing the water park is a short walk down the hall. The return drive is usually quiet as they fall asleep in the back seat.
Hope this helps someone looking for a great escape - we might see you there!
