Planning a Perfect Family Trip to SKYLAKE

Finding the perfect water park in Indiana just got easier. Families are often looking for more than just slides and sunbathing, they want something exciting, easy to plan, and great for all ages. That is exactly what SKYLAKE encapsulates.

Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, trying to beat the summer heat, or escaping from a long and dreadful work-week, here is everything you need to know to plan a sensational trip to Indiana’s newest water-themed thrilling destination.

Prologue: Why SKYLAKE Stands Out Among Theme Parks in Indiana

Nothing is created equally, and SKYLAKE is specially crafted to blow other parks out of the water. Several options are available when searching for the right experience when planning a day to a water park in Indiana, but those are typically catered to a certain characteristic of experience. 

Now you don’t have to choose between thrill-seeking fun or lounging on the beach with a book. SKYLAKE is designed to provide fun for all ages and keep every family member engaged. This is not just a destination to fill a couple hours, this park will fulfill your entire day.

If you’re near Circle City, it’s quickly becoming the top destination among theme parks in Indianapolis, thanks to its desirable location and variety of attractions.

Chapter 1: Choose the Right Day to Visit

Timing may be one of the most important things to consider when planning your family trip. It’s best to know ahead of time when each person will be available.

  • Weekdays are ideal for a more relaxed pace, there tends to be slightly more availability during the work week.
  • Weekends offer a more lively atmosphere, often including many large groups such as teams and other families. If you want to embrace other members of your community, this is highly recommended.
  • Show up early when the park opens. Your tickets are good for the whole day, so get the most out of your experience by spending as much time as you can there.

Chapter 2: Pack Away to Keep the Stress Away

Ensure you have everything you need to enjoy a stress-free day at your newest favorite activity. A little preparation goes a long way when it comes to organizing family fun. Here are some things to consider bring with you:

  • Sunscreen (apply often and keep in mind the SPF you need)
  • Towels
  • Water (we ask you not to drink from the large water source people are wading in)
  • A change of clothes or shoes so you can arrive and leave the park comfortably

We will have these items available for purchase at the park, so do not stress if you cannot find the sunscreen that disappears from the closet every time you need it.

Chapter 3: Hit Your Favorite Spots

SKYLAKE offers a wide range of amenities, so don’t worry if your family wants to do different things throughout the day. 

There is plenty of time in the day at the park, if you want to relax for a while, stop at the beach and find a spot to lay out. If you want to embark on a thrill-seeking activity, head to the splash-course and compete against others. 

Hit your favorite spots first, that way you can discover new opportunities later in the day and relax later. Activities are built for all ages and we encourage everyone to enjoy the experience together. There will be separated sections for 18+ if the family needs a small break from one another.

Chapter 4: Think About Food and Taking Break

There is no rush to get things done in two hours, take your time. Your ticket is eligible for the entire day, so check out restaurants in the park and take a break with your family. Use meals as a great way to touch base and meet up if you decide to partake in different activities.

             “Let’s meet for lunch at 1 p.m., I’m going to hit the lazy river for a while.”

Use SKYLAKE’s dining experiences as great lunch and dinner options. There will also be a selection of beverages curated for adults and children separately. Remember to hydrate. Find a cool shaded area to recharge and re-apply that sunscreen.

Chapter 5: Capture Your Experience

Make the trip to SKYLAKE something to remember. Bring a phone to take pictures of your day, and please share your experience with us in Indiana’s newest water park. Plan accordingly if your phone requires a protective water sleeve to avoid any damage to it. We would love to see how you planned your day at the park. There is no right way to plan it, there’s only the SKYLAKE way.

Epilogue: Make a Plan to Come Again

Now that you know what to bring and what to expect, do it again! Try new things and make SKYLAKE your go-to summer destination. The park is always changing and you should expect new things to try with every trip. You can stop searching for water parks in Indiana to fulfill excitement and ease. All ages, all the time, right here at your fingertips.
