The Summer of More lineup of activities includes the Adventure Kids’ Clubhouse, featuring seasonally inspired crafts; Adventure Kids: Join the Club!, where guests join characters in a live, interactive show; and Pirate Treasure Hide and Sea-k Scavenger Hunt, with clues scattered throughout the hotel. With Adventure Kids Rise & Shine, families can start the morning with yoga on the in-room television. The Lost Treasure Flatboat Voyage lets families look for clues to find gems on a flatboat voyage, or the Delta Riverboat Ride, which travels down a scenic river in a 4.5-acre indoor garden teaching about plants, fish and more. Cascades outdoor resort pool hosts a pool party with music, games and fun.

There’s much for guests to enjoy, both as part of the Summer of More — like light and fountain shows, a Horticultural Trek, selfie spots, Animal Encounters and augmented reality — and resort-wide, including SoundWaves, an upscale water attraction with thrilling rides, and much more.
