[ARCHIVED THREAD] - How many fluid ounces of booze for a weekend at an indoor water park with 2 kids? (Page 1 of 3)

Posted: 2/21/2018 9:52:17 AM EDT

Have a weekend trip to an indoor water park coming up with two kids, age 5&9. Place looks to be pretty booked up. Beers there are $8 a piece from what I can find. How many ounces of booze should I pack?

Sadly, I’d say zero in that environment. Myriad opportunities for emergency situations and/or stupid encounters.

I would over estimate; then double that estimate.

My brother in law has a pot needle vape thingy. Check into that to fuel your substance abuse issues.

Some sobering news for heavy drinkers.

Stay sober and spend time with the kids?

Depends on what park and what part of the state. My experience at Great Wolf Lodge in Sandusky has been great. They've never said a word about bringing food or drinks into the pool area. Overall other guests were fine and they do not sale pass, so all the other park goers are guests.

Kalahari? Never been as my kids were to young. Headed later this year. I know they've had some vibrancy issues in the past

Zero. Sounds like a recipe for disaster.

How many does it take before you start to drunkenly wander around and hit on girls half your age while floating next to your kids in the beach entry part of the pool with your wife glaring at you from twenty feet away and all the while you're urinating and hoping the water doesn't turn dark blue around you but your plan is to blame a random nearby toddler if it does...

That was oddly specific and not at all based on my own experience, but you should drink one or two less than that.

Camelback full of rum with surgical tubing coming to your mouth. Drink Coke all day with it. If anyone looks at you suspiciously, stick the tube in your nose and pretend it's oxygen.

Wayer parks are fun OP, go have fun with the kids, have drinks after they pass out from all the fun

That's a 750 ml bottle of whatever for two people.

Remember, 2 of the kids are YOUR kids. The other three thousand will be OTHER PEOPLE's kids.

Bring enough to mix a rum & coke for every breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus 1 or 2 in the evening.

There will be kids running up and down the hallways all night so if your not a sound sleeper you may need a little help.

I'm assuming you're going to one in Ohio? From my experience in the Wisconsin Dells there is a state wide 3 drink/day minimum on all weekend activities.

I'd figure out how much your kids will drink and then triple it. 5&9 year olds don't really handle their liquor well.

Sober and spend quality time with your kids, it's my childhood all over again.

They have a swim up bar in there

Seriously though, have fun with your kids. I don't understand feeling the need to wander around half cocked all day.

But then I don't have substance abuse problems either.

Zero ounces. Enjoy the quality time with your kids.

They don't allow outside food or drinks into the water park (they want you to buy their expensive food and drinks)

Well if it's like years past they'll be exhausted and asleep by 7pm. This is for after that

We like both. I like Kalahari's features better, I think. But I like Great Wolf's water temp.

I also like just walking to KI from Great Wolf--which obviously isn't a factor right now.

Have fun!

Depends on how much you trust the lifeguards to save your kids, between texting and scoping out teenage ass.

We usually go to the Dells every winter with our kids.The kids quickly get engrossed in the water acrivities, so the wife and i end up having a few coctails to realax and enjoy a bit of us time.We usually buy 2 overpriced soda's and then go back to the room to liven up with a 1.75 of jack.
All of the super parents out there can suck it, we rarely get any time to ourselves, and i think we deserve a break once and a while too.

I've heard kalahari is bigger and has more pools/slides but also gets a lot busier because they sell day passes while great wolf reserves their water park for hotel guests only. We shall see. We've stayed at both Ohio great wolfs but never kalahari. Also looking forward to a visit to Toft's
