  • Bar Mez overlooks the waterpark and serves cocktails; Pop's Sweet Shoppe offers candy and ice cream.
  • Dining hours and outlet availability vary seasonally — reservations are recommended for certain venues.

The Kartrite Resort & Indoor Waterpark – Pools & the signature amenity

The Kartrite’s signature is its approximately 80,000 sq ft indoor waterpark plus additional water features.

  • Indoor pool and sauna are available to guests — no large indoor waterpark on site.
  • Pool sun loungers and fitness facilities complement the pool area.
