POCONO MANOR, Pa.
Kalahari Resorts & Convention Center has broken ground in Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains on a sprawling new waterpark resort.
Scheduled to open in 2015, Kalahari Resorts Pocono Mountains is a $230 million, 150-acre complex in Monroe County at Pocono Manor. The groundbreaking begins phase one of the resort project, which will include: 457 luxury guest rooms and suites, a 100,000-square-foot indoor waterpark and seasonal outdoor waterpark, a 65,000-square-foot convention center, a 30,000-square-foot family entertainment center and 6,000 square feet of retail space.
The resort will also feature three full-service restaurants—a high-end steak and seafood option, a gourmet buffet, and a cozy lounge, plus snack areas.
When Phase I is complete the Pocono Mountains resort will offer convention and meeting-goers flexible space ranging from 9,000 square feet to 65,000 square feet alongside extraordinary function areas throughout the indoor and outdoor waterparks and family entertainment center.
Other signature amenities include Spa Kalahari and Salon, daily kid's activity programs, and numerous indoor and outdoor adventures. Additional recreation and entertainment options are expected to include black light mini golf, arcade games, horseback riding, archery, fishing and sledding.
