Indoor Waterpark

Georgia has a number of waterparks, but you still have to brave the hot pavement at most of them. The exception is Great Wolf Lodge in LaGrange, which has an indoor waterpark that remains 84 degrees year-round. The family-focused accommodation and attraction grants guests entry into the waterpark, but locals and visitors also can get a day pass. Passes include life jackets, ropes courses, rock walls and other activities, and entry for kids under 2. Bring your own towel or purchase one onsite. Lockers are also available for rent.
