Come see beautiful South Jersey.
Unlike many tourist attractions, South Jersey's indoor water parks allow for tourism without the restraint of seasonal weather. More important, whether you came from Wisconsin or eight blocks away, you can bring the entire family for a day of fun and excitement. The parks are designed so that everyone from toddlers to grandparents can find activities that are at their level.
Sahara Sam's Oasis
Sahara Sam's operates a year-round indoor water park with an oasis theme featuring many classic water-park favorites. The lazy river gently drifts guests around on an inner tube interrupted by water cannons, geysers and vortexes that spin the rider. A kiddie section called the "Lizard Lagoon" features zero depth entry, water-slide, baby bungee and a water fountain to entertain small children. The "Tim Buk Tu Tree Fort" is a play area with climbing structures, platforms, water cannons, slides and a 1000-gallon water bucket that drenches guests. "Sam's Cyclone" is an indoor surfing and boogie board ride that moves 60,000 gallons of water at 35 miles an hour for a nonstop wave that is always perfect. Sahara Sam's also has a 6-foot raft ride taller than a four-story building and a pair of twin water coaster slides that shoot the rider down with more than 100,000 gallons of rushing water that cannot even be contained fully in the building. Guests can enjoy a stepping stone pool, where they try to cross using an overhead cargo net, or a game of water basketball. Throw in a 3,000-square-foot arcade with prizes and a huge selection of eats and signature drinks at the "Dune Cafe" and guests are entertained for their whole visit.

CoCo Key Water Resort
CoCo Key has brought the island to the guest, and family fun is the "Key." The island theme is set off by a year-round temperature of 85 degrees F. The children's play area offers a jungle gym climbing platform with all the bells and whistles, a wading pool with slides for younger children that plays movies and shows on a huge sail screen during special events and a huge bucket that rains down water in hundreds of gallons. A rider can roll along through park on a tube in the "Adventure River" with water soaking surprises along the way or relax in the giant indoor/outdoor whirlpool separated by a "cave" passage. Families can play together in the "Coral Reef Cavern" with a lily pad water obstacle course and a double hoop water basketball area. Three intimidating adrenalin-inducing mult-story water snaking slides plunge guests down to a sea pool. With a huge arcade and grand cafe, the park invites you to plan on spending the day. It is connected to the Marriott, and package deals are available.

The Battle of Monmouth in New Jersey
Though an indoor water park is a great destination, South Jersey has many tourist attractions that are open all year. The Camden Discovery museum is an interactive family fun center where children play to learn. Take a tour on the Battleship New Jersey, the most decorated ship in U.S. history. Admire the 142 guns while learning the amazing history of the ship before trying to handle the 3-D flight simulator in a heart-thumping dog fight.
