Resort in Poconos with Indoor Waterpark?

DD wants to take her family to a resort in the Poconos with an indoor waterpark. I believe Great Wolf Lodge has an indoor waterpark, but do any timeshares?

There was just one posted in the sightsing by Chriskre last night.

Chap7 has gone to a resort with the word "Minerals" in it???? and for some reason I believe it has a water park.

Thanks, I missed that, but she wants to go Presidents Weekend - one of those people that doesn't understand timeshare world booking ahead!

Split Rock in Lake Harmony has an indoor waterpark. You pay admission for it--I want to say about $35 per person per day that you go?

BTW, I don't think that Minerals place (which is in west Jersey, not all the way to the Poconos, so it might be better for your DD's family) does have an indoor water park. I think Chap7 said it has a super-nice pool.

Minerals Resort and Spa Vernon Valley NJ.

Yes, a super nice pool with a little cave area that you can swim into. Also, you can swim under a glass wall to go to the very nicely heated outdoor pool. In addition they have a spa, full gym with cardio and weights, basketball court, raquetball courts, indoor running track, jacuzzis, sauna, steam room and plunge pool. They have a juice bar and restaurant on site. Good family restaurants in the area as well.

We've gone a bunch of times with the kids and they really like it. Me too. Nearby is an outdoor water park (summer only ) and skiing and snow tubing.

The units however, are a little hit or miss but mostly adequate. We've never had a problem but it's defintely not a Marriott.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks everyone! Learn something new every day, I never knew there were several resorts in the northeast with indoor water parks. I thought they were all in Wisconsin!

Chap 7, I will keep a look-out for the Minerals Resort. I haven't been up there for a few years (dating myself it was once a Playboy Resort and as a member of the Jr. Women's Club in my town I would attend "conference" weekends.)

Wacky, is Split Rock the same as Willowbrook at Lake Harmony?

Actually, the old playboy resort is just across the street and is very run down.

Split Rock has several sections--the Galleria, which is the original main building with all of the activities; Westwood, which is the older townhouses; and Willowbrook, which are the nice new units. (I think there may be one more, too.) Willowbrook trades through II, and the other sections trade through RCI. But yes, they are all the same resort.
