Key Lime Cove

Key Lime Cove is an indoor water park in Illinois with multiple slides, a lazy river, and wave pools for different ages. The facility also includes rooms to stay overnight, dining venues, and arcade games all within the same building.

The park opened in 2008 and quickly became an important recreation destination in Illinois. Its opening marked the start of year-round water activities for the region.

The resort uses tropical design throughout, creating a warm vacation-like setting that visitors experience as they move through the spaces. This design approach makes the place feel different from typical American recreation venues.

The resort is easy to access and has areas designed for different ability levels, so both beginners and experienced swimmers find activities. It is best to arrive early to avoid long waits at popular attractions.

The water is heated to a constant temperature year-round, allowing visitors to swim regardless of the season. This control lets the park operate continuously without depending on outdoor weather.
