Budget Travel Calls Avalanche Bay a Top Ten U.S. Indoor Water Park

BOYNE FALLS, Mich., Jan. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Michigan's largest indoor waterpark, Avalanche Bay, has been heralded as one of the top ten indoor water parks in the U.S. by Budget Travel magazine. The top ten waterpark hot spots debuted online at www.budgetravel.com and have been prominently featured today, January 20, on MSN.com.  The 88,000 square foot Avalanche Bay Indoor Waterpark features aquatic fun and attractions for all ages.  The park boasts five amazing waterslides, a four-story tall mountain water-play structure, shallow children's pool and play area, wet climbing wall, lazy river, two hot tubs, Michigan's only indoor surfing wave, and much more.

Themed as a Swiss-Austrian Village hit by an avalanche, one of the parks main attractions is Splasherhorn Mountain, an interactive play structure that erupts with an avalanche every twenty minutes.  The mountain rumbles and an alpine horn sounds to alert that an 800-gallon water avalanche is about to spill down on explorers below.  Patrons to Avalanche Bay can also enjoy a variety of food and beverages from the Snack Shack and Apres Ski Pub located inside the park.  The adjacent Avalanche Bay Arcade provides kids with a digital wonderland of 100+ games that can entertain for hours.

"Avalanche Bay is hard to top," says Waterpark Director Patrick Patoka.  "With so many attractions in Avalanche Bay, amazing lodging right next door, and all the outdoor fun that Boyne Mountain has to offer year round, it's hard to find a better family getaway in the Midwest."
