    Activities and Attractions You Don't Want to Miss at Castaway Bay

    It’s time to get away with freezing temperatures and cabin fever kicking in. The perfect place to do so is Castaway Bay in Sandusky, Ohio. Over 32,000 gallons of water, 82 degrees daily and plenty of activities and attractions for the entire family, there no reason to go anywhere else. Recently I took a trip to Castaway Bay for a hosted weekend with the family. No matter what age your kids are they is something for everyone.

    Here is a list of activities and attractions for all ages that you don’t want to miss at Castaway Bay.

    Daily Activities

    Each day there is a new list of activities located in the newsletter at the front desk. It will give the list of water park hours along with times each activity begins. The activities change daily so if you are staying more than one day get the newsletter each day. Most activities are located in Club Castaway on the 3rd floor unless noted otherwise. Activities include arts and crafts, games, karaoke, dance party, movie and more.

    Ride the waves every 10 minutes in 100,000-gallons of water. Starts at zero entry all the way to 5 feet and is fun for all ages.
