If you are planning your first family vacation to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, it might be natural to search for “Hotels with waterparks in the Upper Peninsula.” We don’t blame you. Honestly, when we leave the U.P., we often search for “hotels with waterparks” or “hotels with pools” to give our own kids a different kind of fun for a change.
But when you come up north, we want to encourage you with this advice:
"When in the U.P., do as the Yoopers do."
Now, I know Yoopers who jump in Lake Superior every year on New Year’s Eve, and I have personally chain sawed a hole through the ice and jumped in. That’s not what I’m talking about here. If you’re coming up during the cold half of the year, we can talk about your options, but for now, let’s focus on summer.
Enjoy the Waterpark, Yooper-Style
If you’re looking to ride a giant, mechanized waterslide in a huge over-crowded hotel waterpark filled with chlorinated water, there are places to do that; but that place is not here.
In the U.P., summer is the time to play in the lake. The lake was the outdoor waterpark before there were outdoor waterparks! And our aquapark is one of the most fun and memorable ways to play in the lake for all ages!
Use of the Waterpark is Included in Your Stay
The aquapark at U.P. Sunrise Cottages is one of many activities that are included with your cottage rental, along with our kayaks, stand up paddleboards (SUPs), and pedal boats.
