Also, we chose to go at what I would guess would be the busiest time of year, Christmas break. You see, our family consists of my wife and I, a 2 ½ year old little girl and a 14 month old baby boy, definitely a little young to enjoy all there was to offer. Looking back, while I am glad we went and enjoyed the experience, we probably should have passed on the free tickets, as a water park is not the best idea for a family like ours. However, this review will focus on Big Splash Adventure, a 40,000 sq/ft waterpark and hotel. Two championship golf courses (the Pete Dye golf course will be hosting the 2015 Senior PGA Championship) are truly fantastic and Paoli Peaks is a small ski resort with fun tubing for all ages. While the French Lick resort and Casino and the historic landmark West Baden Springs hotel are probably the two most popular sites to see in this small town, there are a few things to do outside the hotels. No other compensation was received and all opinions are those of the author.įrench Lick, Indiana, best known as the hometown of “the Hick from French Lick”, Larry Bird, has recently been brought back to life from its near death in the late 20th century. We were recently offered complimentary tickets to the Big Splash Adventure Indoor Water Park, and gave them to a friend to review the park from a family perspective.
