My family is just entering the age at which water rides are really fun for my kids. We were looking into going to our local Great Wolf Lodge but multiple families have told us that after the first year or two of operations, things have become pretty run down and the luster has really worn off. I'm happy to see that they are expanding, and I don't know if ours is an isolated example but I hope that they come back around and fix some of the issues so that this continues to be a destination worth visiting. I might guess that indoor water parks have less breathing room in terms of TLC than dry parks or even outdoor water parks have, haha.
Around 10-15 years ago now, we took the kids to Coco Key Resort near Newark, OH around Christmastime. Shortly after that, we went to Wisconsin Dells in the summer and visited Noah's Ark. And during school spring break, we took them to the Great Wolf Lodge next to Kings Island. Over the years, we have also enjoyed the waterparks at Kings Island, Cedar Point, Dollywood, the Six Flags waterpark in Phoenix, and of course my personal favorite, Splashing Safari at Holiday World. We haven't gone to a waterpark since they became adults. I'd like to go back to Holiday World this summer, so maybe that will change.
