If you are looking for a budget-friendly family getaway, look no further than the Seven Clans Casino water park. The water park was completely renovated in 2019, including the addition of several new water features. The Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians operates the Seven Clans Casino and is committed to providing impeccable service and top-notch amenities. Here is everything you need to know about the fun and family-friendly Seven Clans Casino water park.

The Seven Clans Casino water park offers 40,000-square feet of swimming and splashing fun. The entire park is indoors, allowing you to enjoy summer fun all year long. The water park has many slides and pools, all connected by rope bridges and stairs. The water park is home to two swimming pools. The shallow wading pool is great for relaxing with young children or playing a quick game of water volleyball or basketball. The larger pool is deep enough for swimming.

Kids and kids-at-heart will love the four giant water slides that twist and turn throughout the park. The slides include tunnel and open sections, landing in the swimming pools below. Children must be 42 inches tall to ride slides without a parent, and young children can enjoy the large slides with an accompanying parent. Toddlers and small children also have access to three mini slides. These short slides are easy to get to, gently sloping, and land in shallow pool areas for safety.

If you have toddlers, check out the water park’s new toddler-friendly water play area. This new feature includes a fun splash pad, giant raining umbrella, climbing features, and waterfalls. A large tree in the center of the shallow pool has several toddler swings on its branches. The park also has a unique teepee and mural for kids to explore.

One of the most popular features of the Seven Clans Casino water park is its lazy river. The lazy river is a great place to relax and unwind as you float through the river bends. You can ride down the lazy river solo in a single tube or with a friend in a double tube.

If you need a break from the kids, check out the water park’s hot tub area or balcony seating. The rock walls and central waterfall provide a quiet little nook where you can enjoy one of the two hot tubs. Plentiful balcony-area seating allows you to keep an eye on older kids without getting wet.

Playing and swimming in the water park can leave you hungry. Thankfully, the water park has a snack bar with menu items such as pizza, hot dogs, nachos, pretzels, and chicken strips. Cold drinks, ice cream cones, shakes, and novelty ice cream treats are also available.

Parties

Birthday parties at the water park are fun for everyone. There are several birthday party packages available at Thief River Falls. All party packages include up to 15 water park passes, arcade tokens, food, beverages, decorations, party favors, and a birthday cake. All you need to do is invite your friends and show up. Birthday parties are set up right outside the main pool area, giving kids quick access to the water park after their celebration.

Safety and Accessibility

You never have to worry about safety and security inside the Seven Clans water park. A whole team of trained and certified lifeguards is on duty at all times in the park. Emergency medical technicians are also on staff 24 hours a day, seven days a week. 

Seven Clans offers water park scooters for those that need mobility assistance in the pool area. A handicap access lift was also added during the recent renovations, allowing everyone to enjoy easy access to the large pool area. The recent renovation also improved lighting throughout the water park and added electric keypad lockers to keep your items safe while you enjoy time with your family and friends.
