The waterpark industry is ever-growing
This year is set to see a growth of more than $1 billion in indoor and outdoor waterparks and their related resorts across the US. The Midwest comes in second for regional outdoor waterparks and first, by quite a spread, in indoor waterpark resorts and standalone indoor waterparks. In total, the Midwest is home to more waterparks than any other region and that is great news for meeting and event planners looking to add a splash to their event.
