I've heard so many people mention Splash Lagoon and we were thrilled to have the chance for our first visit this past weekend. WOW! We were blown away by how amazing a venue it is for families! Splash Lagoon is located in Erie, Pa and includes nine water slides, pools, hot tubs, a 12-level interactive Tree House, a Tree Tops Ropes Course, 6,500 square foot Arcade with over 100 games, a state-of-the-art Lazer Tag facility, an Aqua Tumbler and Wild Waters Wave Pool. We were looking for a fun fall/winter family getaway and this was perfect!
As a person who HATES cold water, I think I was most excited to learn that all that of the water temps were a balmy 84 degrees. :) But even better, my kids just had the very, very best time!
This zero depth entry pool with small slides is perfect for babies and toddlers!
My 3, 4, & 6 year old could all ride this slide by themselves and they did it dozens of times, at least!
The turquoise slide was probably their favorite of all. We could ride down together in a double tube and it was so much fun!
Be sure to bring another adult with you so you can swap turns in the adult only hot tub. :) There are also some family hot tubs which have a little lower temps.
The arcade games have a separate pricing scale. But how fun is this giant Connect Four game?! (Laser Tag and the Ropes Course are also a separate admission fee.)
We stayed in the Residence Inn by Marriott, which is one of 3 hotels directly connected to Splash Lagoon. We couldn't have been happier with a wonderful 2 bedroom suite (a bit of a necessity with 4 kids!) that also boasted a complete kitchen and 2 full bathrooms with huge jacuzzi tubs.
This sitting room with a fireplace was a perfect connecting space! The sofa is also a pull-out bed for additional sleeping options.
We get to watch TV before bedtime AND eat caramel apples in bed? Winning all the parent points right there. (wink, wink.)
The hotel had a great complimentary hot breakfast with options for everyone! Eggs, sausage, waffles, cereal, yogurt, fruit, juice, coffee.....
And, of course, you can't leave Erie without a stop at the beautiful Presque Isle State Park! Even though it wasn't swimming weather, it was a beautiful day and my kids loved running and digging at the beach.
GIVEAWAY:
Splash Lagoon has been kind enough to giveaway a family 4 pack of tickets to their indoor waterpark! (Please note: this does not include hotel accommodations.) You can choose to book a hotel if you wish, or it also an easy day trip from Pittsburgh.

Erie is a lower cost vacation spot that the kids love, and we do to :)
This summer was our first trip there-- we spent the day at the beach and my kiddos loved it! We will definitely be back next year.

I love the lake and all the wineries.
We've never been there. It would be a much needed break for our family of 6!
Looks so fun!!
I love that it's close to home and a short drive, but far enough away to feel like it's a real break!
I love Erie for the awesome parks and of course beaches. It's a great day, weekend, or week long trip with our three littles!
This looks awesome! We always talk about taking the kids but haven't made it there yet. Fingers crossed we win
When we visit Erie we're one step closer to Toronto - that's my favorite part about it.
We love to visit Erie. That's where three of our kids are from. We have visited often, but have yet to try Splash Lagoon
This sounds like so much fun. I love hearing about the adventures you go on with your family. I can't wait to take our family there soon. Thanks!
I grew up spending my childhood summers in Erie and now my family camps there each summer. Would love to add more Erie memories!

Awesome post! My husband and I have been wanting to take our daughter, especially since it is no longer outdoor swimming weather- looks like a great time!!
My family and I love visiting Erie. It's a short drive from Pittsburgh but still offers a getaway feeling! Splash lagoon is one of our favorites, since the whole family can enjoy everything it has to offer!
❤️ That Erie is so close to home,but yet feels like a mini vacation when visiting!
We've never actually stopped in Erie for a long enough time to do anything fun. We make quick pit stops there on our trips to NY so we would love the opportunity to give Splash Lagoon a try.
We love Lake Erie! We've never been to Splash Ĺagoon, but we've heard great things and it certainly looks like your family had a blast!
Looks awesome!

Love it
We love Presque Isle and the zoo!
I have never been to Erie except for cracker barrel and Sam's club while passing through!
Great giveaway! It makes me want to go! We love active getaways when the weather forces us indoors more.
Yay...exciting giveaway!
I visit Erie every other weekend, to visit my out-laws, ooops, I mean in-laws! LOL.. :) It would be great to turn a Sunday drive into a weekend of fun!
My son and I went to Splash Lagoon once for a party. We loved it! It would be great to have all four of us go!!! We would really enjoy this!
My 5yr old and I love Erie! We went to Waldemeer Park and the beach last year. We also have done Splash Lagoon when she was little and she loved it!!
My husband and I honeymooned in Erie (only had a long weekend) and have wanted to take our kids to Splash Lagoon for a couple years now! Thanks for your review.
We love visiting Presque Isle. It's nive we can enjoy the beach only 2 hours away!
We have been to Splash Lagoon once a few years back, and really loved it. Its location is convenient on Peach Street where there are tons of other places to visit if you choose to make a weekend out of it! We hope we win! :)
We love the beach and bike riding near the lake!
