May 08, 20262 min read

We've had a fun week here at the Resort with a lot of prep for summer fun! The Action City expansion is starting to look very real, Splasharoo’s Birthday Bash is finally here, and Chaos Water Park is getting ready to reopen after annual maintenance.

Action City Expansion Taking Shape

One of the most exciting milestones so far is officially happening… the steel frame for the Action City expansion is starting to go up!

For the last couple of months, most of the work has happened at ground level, which meant a lot of behind-the-scenes progress that we couldn’t fully see yet. But now, the building is finally starting to rise and it completely changes the feeling around the site.

Every week, things are looking more and more real, and it’s been exciting watching guests stop to look at the progress as they visit the resort.

There’s still a lot more to come, but this was a great moment this week where we could really start picturing what the future of Action City is going to look like.

It’s filled with lots of energy, lots of activities, and plenty of chances for families to make memories together.

The party will include birthday activities, a dance party, appearances from Splasharoo, pizza buffet, and plenty of fun happening throughout Action City.

If you’re planning to join us, we can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Annual maintenance at Chaos Water Park in Eau Claire, WI.

Annual Chaos Water Park Maintenance

While guests have been enjoying spring fun in Action City, our team has been hard at work inside Chaos Water Park during our annual maintenance closure.

Annual maintenance is one of the biggest behind-the-scenes projects of the year. It gives our team time to deep clean, complete repairs, inspect attractions, refresh spaces, and make sure everything is ready for another busy season of splashing and family fun.

Cleanliness and safety is our top priority, and we’re excited to officially reopen Chaos next week and welcome everyone back.

☀️ Reminder: Free Night This Summer!

We've been prepping for lots of fun as we head into summer from customer events to opening outdoor attractions.

Don't forget we just launched a new offer where you can stay 2 nights and get a third night free. It’s a great way to stretch your stay a little longer and make the most of your time here.

That’s your Metro Minute for the week with steel rising on the expansion, a big birthday celebration ahead, and Chaos Water Park almost ready to reopen.

Summer is getting closer around here, and every week it feels like the fun keeps leveling up.

We hope to see you soon!
