The endless mountains and elevation make the Pocono Mountains a top destination for winter sports lovers. However, for those who enjoy the warmth of the indoors, there is much to do for people of all ages. There are many destinations for romantic winter getaways (guys…Valentine’s Day is just around the corner), winter spa resorts, luxury resorts for couples, honeymoons, bachelor or bachelorette weekends, weddings, and more.

  • The historic Shawnee Inn & Golf Resort: Check out the Valentine’s Day package and the 20-minute Red Light Therapy at the newly upgraded spa facilities.
  • Memorytown, USA: Stay in a cozy lakeside cabin for 2 and enjoy dinner for 2 at the acclaimed The Water’s Edge Restaurant.
  • Skytop Lodge: Enjoy drinks at the Library Lounge (the coziest bar in the Poconos) or gather fireside at the Lakeview.
  • Split Creek Preserve & Resort: Surrounded by 50 acres of secluded woods, enjoy the tranquility of this preserve while staying at the restored 19th-century church or stay in private lodging at one of the newly built cottages.
  • The Swiftwater: Brand new, the Swiftwater is a long overdue departure from the traditional Pocono hotel experience. The Swiftwater envelops you with chic, contemporary rustic elegance, and extraordinary personalized concierge service.
  • The French Manor Inn & Spa: Located further north in the Poconos, this bed and breakfast is an enchanting stone chateau that sits atop Huckleberry Mountain. This secluded private lookout offers spectacular views of the beautiful crest and ridges of the Northern Pocono Mountains and offers country-style Carriage Houses and elegant Victorian-style manor rooms all equipped with a fireplace, a hot tub for 2, and private balconies. The perfect romantic getaway.

Year-Round Fun: The Best Indoor Waterparks in the Pocono Mountains

If waterpark resorts are more your cup of tea you won’t have to worry about long lines or over-crowding, as the Pocono Mountains have 4 of them:

  • Kalahari Resorts: The largest waterpark at over 220,000 square feet, it features the Serengeti Safari Adventure (slide and splash your way through animal adventures ), The VR Waterslide (guests throw on a headset and are launched into a new realm, as they ride through the waterslide with multiple reality experiences ), the Barreling Baboon (riders slide through soaring dips and twists into the oscillating funnels), Cheetah Racers, and the Elephant’s Trunk (the twisting and meandering tandem tube slide send you on a 270 foot long adventure).
  • Great Wolf Lodge: The lodge recently added 7 new slides to an already impressive roster of slides, pools, play areas, and deep buckets. The 120,000-square-foot waterpark is kept at a perfect 84 degrees year-round. Fort Mackenzie, the best water fort you ever will see, has interactive water toys, kid-activated splash features, and Totem Tower body slides.
  • Aquatopia Indoor Waterpark at Camelback Lodge: At over 125,000 square feet, the water park has the largest “texton” roof in Pennsylvania, a 55-meter wave pool, an adventure river, over a dozen unique indoor water slides, and the FlowRider (where you can experience the thrill of surfing or body boarding in the ocean, and you can get expert instructors to guide you through a one-hour FlowRider simulated surfing session. The FlowRider flows over 40,000 gallons of water per minute!).
  • H20ooohh Indoor Waterpark: At 53,000 square feet, the waterpark has a wave pool, water tubes with floats, an area where you can simulate surfing, water basketball, a large bucket that is filled with water and spills out once it is full, and 3 four-story water slides!
