Looking for something fun to do in Southern Indiana?  Check out Big Splash Adventure Indoor Water Park in French Lick?  I was gave the chance to review Big Splash Adventure free of charge.  This review is on the water park itself.  We did not stay at the Hotel as part of this review.  You can check out reviews on the Hotel at Tripadvisor.com.

Big Splash Adventure is a 40,000 square foot indoor water park-complete with a rare retractable roof-located in French Lick Indiana, and adventure unlike any other!  Big Splash has many thrilling, twisting, and exciting water slides and a whirling turbo bowl!

The interactive Buccaneer Bay thrills and excites children of all ages—especially the 1000 gallon dumping bucket! The Splish Splash pool is perfect for the youngest of adventurers, and the activity center—complete with water basketball and other fun activities—is great for older kids. For adults, there is the adults only Palm Cove hot tub, and don’t forget the Lost River! The river flows lazily throughout the park.

We visited right before school was due to start.  I let my son pick a few friends to go with us.  They all had a lot of fun.   The biggest problem for me was that local temperature was about 77 degrees outside, they had to roof opened and it was so chilly inside the water park, that it was almost too chilly to be in the water.  Normally when we visit it's nice and toasty warm inside the park, so when you get out of the water, it feels good.

We decided to pick a table in the upper area in the water park.  It had a great view and I could pretty much find the kids anytime I looked.  The boys did complain that the steps leading up and down hurt their feet.

To rent a locker you have to get a band to open the locker.  Lockers cost around $7 for the day.  I did have some issues getting the lockers to unlock and lock using the band. But I felt better having my money locked up while we played in the water.

While we waited for our pizza to be ready they all had a blast playing the Arcade games and picking prices.  If you check out this page on the Big Splash site, you'll find a photo of my son from about 3 years ago enjoying the arcade and winning tickets!

After we were done at the water park we headed down the hill to Shotz to play a round of Lazer tag. The Boys had a great time at Lazer tag. I wish I could have go photos of it, but it's just too dark and you move too fast.
