Would you like to whisk your family away for an in-town adventure with an out-of-town feel? Step out of life-as-usual and into a tropical retreat at the brand-new CoCo Key Water Resort, located at the Sheraton KC Sports Complex Hotel in Kansas City, MO.

CoCo Key combines the low-key relaxation of the Florida Keys with the rollicking excitement of a premier indoor water park. As you explore this 55,000 square-foot leisure facility, you'll discover there's something for everyone. The Parrot's Perch was a favorite of ours, with its interactive play island and slides for younger children, a zero-depth entry area, water cannons (don't spray the lifeguards!) and a huge bucket that dumps a dramatic cascade of water every few minutes. My son and I grabbed a couple of tubes and floated around the Coconut Grove River, twirling, splashing and racing one another though its circular course. At the Dip-in Theatre Children's Pool, with its zero-depth entry, your crew can wade in and float in shallow water while enjoying movies and animation on a movie-size projection screen. And the Coral Reef Cavern includes an activity pool with lily pads, water basketball and a coral reef backdrop. We all enjoyed intermittent dips into the Palm Grotto Spa, with its giant indoor/outdoor whirlpools. To top off the excitement, CoCo Key boasts three thrilling body and raft slides. My son and daughter must have made 25 trips up the giant stair structure to ride the slides!

All of this activity can make a family hungry! When you're ready to refuel, you need never even put on your flip-flops. The Callaloo Grill is close at hand and features family-friendly treats including favorites from Pizza Hut and A & W. Or you can hang out at the Wet Rooster Bar, an open-setting bar overlooking the entire resort. There are four thatched cabanas that can be rented for the day. Each of the cabanas features a television, refrigerator, a lockable safe and comfortable furniture for relaxing. After your meal and before you head back into the water, you might check out the arcade which features with state-of-the-art animated video games for and entertainment for all ages.

After our first day at CoCo Key, our family enjoyed an overnight stay at the adjoining Sheraton Hotel, with its 372 newly renovated hotel rooms, each with a flat-screen television and new tile and granite in the bathrooms. The bustling hotel lobby has been beautifully redone, and our lovely room on the 8^th floor overlooked the stadiums. We enjoyed the view as well as the cool and quiet of our room after a rowdy day at the water park. Speaking of stadiums, they offers a Triple Play Package, which combines a two-night stay, passes to CoCo Key and tickets to a Royals game!

There are so many ways to enjoy this facility. CoCo Key offers day passes as an alternative to an overnight stay. Birthday party packages are also available, which include swimming in the resort, use of a celebration room, a birthday meal, goody bags, an arcade card for each child and passes for two free chaperones.

We departed CoCo Key and the Sheraton having made many memories together during our summer stay-cation. Our next trip may be a winter get-away where we can enjoy a Chiefs game as well as CoCo Key, with its year-round, 84-degree climate. Summer and winter, there's a close-to-home family vacation waiting for you. Start planning your trip today at CocoKeyWaterResort.com.
