Enjoy watching the football game on a huge, projector screen in Kartrite’s lobby. Parents can sip a cold beverage from the local craft brewery, Sloop Brewing Co. An American-style buffet will also be offered to guests with dishes like BBQ ribs, crispy wings, a chili bar, a Brooklyn station with mini pastrami sandwiches, Coney Island rippers, mini knishes and more.

 

After the game, explore the waterpark with its cozy cabanas and 10 waterslides. For the winter season, guests can also learn how to ski at The Holiday Mountain Ski Resort’s local ski hill. Take part in a snowman-building contest or spend time with family at the resort.
