My 7-yr-old daughter (and every child I've ever taken there) LOVES this place! We live in Charlotte, so it's incredibly convenient for a weekend getaway, and it's just 30 minutes from home! The hotel rooms are perfect for families, and the waterpark is ""awesome"", as my child would tell you. The staff is very friendly, and there are lots of activiites to keep the kids busy. There are several in-house restaurants with varying prices, so it doesn't have to be expensive to eat there. Plus, there are lots of fast-food joints around, and microwaves/refrigerators in every room, if you want to bring your own food. Dunkin' Donuts is onsite, and the entire place is designed for comfort and casual wear. We love it, and we keep going back. Lots closer and cheaper than Disney, and my child thinks it's the greatest place on the planet!
