Explore Accommodations Check Waterpark HoursStart With the Waterpark
For many families, the waterpark is the main event.
King’s Pointe Resort features both indoor and outdoor waterpark experiences, giving families options across different seasons and weather conditions.
Make a Splash Indoors
The Indoor Waterpark keeps the fun going throughout the year with enclosed slides, tube rides, a lazy river, zero-depth entry pool, lily pad walk and an indoor water playground.
Different ages can find different ways to enjoy the water, from younger swimmers exploring the play areas to bigger kids ready for another trip down the slides.
And because the fun is indoors, families can make waterpark time part of the getaway no matter what the weather has planned outside.
Take the Fun Outside
When the Outdoor Waterpark is open for the season, families can trade the indoors for slides, pools and plenty of time in the Storm Lake sunshine.
With five slides and additional water activities, it can easily become the centerpiece of a summer day at King’s Pointe.
Waterpark schedules and availability vary by season, so check the current Waterpark Calendar when planning your stay.
There’s More to Do Than Swim
Eventually, somebody has to get out of the water. Fortunately, a family getaway at King’s Pointe doesn’t have to revolve entirely around the waterpark.
See Who Rules Pirates’ Pointe
Head across the street to Pirates’ Pointe Mini Golf for 18 holes of family competition among towering masts, sails and pirate-themed scenery.
No promises about what happens when somebody starts keeping score.
Explore the Lakefront
King’s Pointe puts Storm Lake right outside your door.
Take a walk along the lakefront trails, visit nearby Awaysis Park, climb the AWAYSIS Lighthouse for a view of the lake, find a spot for a family photo or simply slow things down after a busy afternoon.
Depending on the season and your family’s interests, Storm Lake also opens the door to fishing, boating and other outdoor recreation.
Bring the Golfers
Families with golfers can add a round at Sunrise Pointe Golf Course, King’s Pointe Resort’s nine-hole course spread across 40 acres of rolling landscape.
And if the serious golfers head for the course, the rest of the family can always demand a Pirates’ Pointe rematch.
Family Time Tastes Better With a Lake View
A full day of swimming, exploring and playing tends to create some hungry travelers.
Regatta offers dining at the resort with American-style dishes and views overlooking Storm Lake. Its location near the floating dock and bike path makes it an easy part of the day rather than another destination families have to plan around.
Start the morning over breakfast when available, stop in between adventures or settle in for dinner after the waterpark. Check current restaurant hours and meal periods when planning your stay.
What Could a Family Weekend at King’s Pointe Look Like?
You don’t need to follow an itinerary to enjoy King’s Pointe. But if you’re wondering whether there’s enough here to fill a family weekend, here’s one way to experience it.
Arrival Day — Settle In & Meet Storm Lake
Afternoon
Check into King’s Pointe and give everyone a chance to settle into the room before heading outside.
Take your first walk along the lakefront, explore the nearby trails and stop at AWAYSIS Lighthouse for a view of Storm Lake.
Evening
Have dinner at Regatta and enjoy the lake views.
Afterward, take another walk along the water or head back to the room and save some energy. Tomorrow is waterpark day.
Day Two — Make a Splash
Morning
Start with breakfast before heading to the waterpark.
During the warmer months, make the Outdoor Waterpark your destination. At other times of year—or whenever the weather has other plans—take the fun inside.
Afternoon
Keep swimming as long as everybody has the energy.
When it’s finally time to dry off, switch gears with 18 holes at Pirates’ Pointe Mini Golf.
Evening
Return to King’s Pointe for dinner and a much slower pace. After a full day of waterslides and mini golf, winding down back at the resort might be the easiest part of the day.
Day Three — Pick Your Own Adventure
Before heading home, choose one more way to experience Storm Lake.
For the explorers: Take a lakefront walk and spend some time at Awaysis Park.
For the golfers: Play nine holes at Sunrise Pointe Golf Course.
For the lake lovers: Explore more of Storm Lake and its outdoor recreation.
For the kids who aren’t finished yet: Check the Waterpark Calendar and squeeze in one more splash before checkout.
Then start the drive home with everyone already talking about what they want to do first next time.
Build the Trip Around Your Family
Not every family getaway looks the same.
Families With Younger Kids
Build your stay around the zero-depth water areas, indoor water playground, mini golf, lakefront walks and plenty of downtime between adventures.
Families With Bigger Kids
Add the larger waterslides, tube rides, lily pad walk, mini golf and more time exploring everything the waterparks have to offer.
Families With Different Ages
Having several experiences in one destination is especially useful when everyone wants something different. Some family members can spend more time at the waterpark while others golf, explore the lakefront or simply relax. Everyone can come back together for dinner.
Families Staying for a Weekend
You don’t need a week to turn King’s Pointe into a getaway. A two- or three-night stay can combine waterpark time, outdoor recreation, dining, mini golf and Storm Lake without making the trip feel like a race from attraction to attraction.
