I am the Marketing Project Coordinator for Wirth Hotels and we are opening up the Grand Lodge Hotel featuring the Water Park of America (America's Biggest Indoor Water Park!!!) on May 15, 2006 adjacent to the Mall of America in Bloomington, MN (Minneapolis). It has 403 large guestrooms and a MN northwoods feel, a great restaurant and a Trillium Spa. The water par khas 10 story slides and the 10 story family white water raft ride, kayaking course, wave pool, lazy river, even surfing! We also own the Grand Hotel Minneapolis (downtown), Minneapolis' Highest Rated hotel with a four-diamond rating. Its casual elegance with world class accomodations. Come experience Minnesota. Come experience the Grand.

I am a huge fan of Samantha Brown's, her inspiration led me to want to do marketing in the travel industry! I hope she can experience America's Biggest Indoor Water Park at the Grand Lodge Hotel and maybe even live the life of luxury at the Grand Hotel downtown Minneapolis.

is it bigger than the Kalahari in Wisconsin Dells- i do believe they boast one of the biggest in America. or possibliy one of the other resorts out there as well have pretty big ones. does it have a web site yet? what is it?

I'm going to make a note of this one in my files. It sounds like the place I'd like to stay at when I get around to making my Mall of America trip.
Thanks for the info.
