Kalahari Resorts in Texas is largely known for being home to the largest indoor waterpark in the country, but the resort also offers summer guests the Outdoor Waterpark, featuring expansive pools, waterslides, a swim-up bar and private bungalows. "Bugs Burrow" is a new children's area featuring a zero-entry pool, swings and nine bug-themed slides. Newly added for adults only is the Thirsty Turtle, an 1,100-square-foot swim- and/or walk-up bar.
