KeyLime Cove Resort and Water Park

KeyLime Cove Resort and Water Park makes it easy to see that one does not need Florida to have a tropical vacation. KeyLime Cove Resort and Water Park is based in Gurnee, Illinois. They have a décor reminiscent of the Florida Keys. Its location makes it close to Chicago and Milwaukee. The entire resort is 414 rooms and suites, with 7 different styles. Rooms can sleep 2 to 8 guests at a time, though a connected room makes it possible for up to 12 in one "suite".

When guests stay and play they get admission into the water park for free, since it is part of the cost. They offer water slides, wild rides, live entertainment, and many other attractions. The resort also has a total of 6 restaurants inside. The restaurants include DW Anderson, The Crazy Toucan Margarita Grille, and others. Anderson's is a soda fashioned restaurant based on 1950s décor, while Crazy Toucan is more about a tropical oasis with hot dogs, homemade fudge, pizza, ice cream, and tropical drinks. The water park is kept at a steady 82 degrees within 10,000 square foot entertainment building. Children have their own pools and slides that are separate from the larger adult rides.
