More Than Just Slides

Sure, The Kartrite is home to the biggest indoor waterpark in New York, but that’s really just the beginning. Step outside the water and you’ll find a full arcade, a bowling alley, and a jam-packed lineup of free daily activities happening around the resort. There’s also a modern fitness center, scenic on-site hiking trails, and plenty of nearby attractions to explore. However you want to spend your day, there’s always something going on here.

Arcade

At The Kartrite, indoor fun goes well beyond the waterpark. Families can fill the day with Playopolis arcade games, AmazeQuest laser tag, ropes, climbing, escape cube puzzles, bowling, and XD gaming, all under one roof for year-round Catskills fun, especially in winter or rainy days.
