Hey guys! Which water park do you like better? Kalahari or Kartrite? Leave a comment and let me know!

[@karengolden7112]

Kalahari

[@ernlovestayswizzle]

Kartrite is closer to us, but I would go to kalahari!

[@FreyaRowan122]

Definitely kalahari I went there and it was so much fun

[@patfromgachalife3193]

I am going to a waterpark in the winter

[@patfromgachalife3193]

Kalahari is much better

[@riley3905]

At Kalahari u don’t have to pay for the flow rider you only have to pay if u want private lessons.

[@TopFlightFamily]

Oh really?! My mistake then! For some reason I got the impression it costed extra to do it. Thanks for watching, and for the correction!

[@krakenassassin7805]

I’ve never been to Kalahari but I went to The Kartrite with my 2 friends in June, and it was AWESOME!

[@TopFlightFamily]

Haha love your username! So glad you had a good time at The Kartrite! We really enjoyed it Too. I honestly think you can’t go wrong with either resort!

[@emmarosie2471]

Me either!! I'm going to Kalahari this month for spring break!

[@viralvidzmachine1353]

I love your channel. Recently found it! Since I’m am on the east coast I do go to these places with the kids.

[@alexandraeve2290]

I’ve never been to Kalahari but I went to Kartrite in August and I had an amazing time! I’m going back next week, and I’m super excited

[@TopFlightFamily]

Love it!!!

[@nickgtgirl365]

Great video! Super helpful! Thank you.

[@StasiaTalksTV]

Thank you. I’m choosing for my child first birthday party. I just happen to see this place and it looks amazing

[@vivianstephens6032]

Just came back from our trip from Kartrite. A lil update for u is that they do have an escape room (might not be in Kalahari's scale) in the arcade game right across from the park entrance

[@TheBlacktulips]

They both look fun! We’ve never been to either but would love to check out one day. Btw, your family is beautiful.

[@TopFlightFamily]

Ah thank you so much! 😊🤲 If you like indoor water parks (and not everyone does lol - I get it) both are really great choices. Thanks for watching!

[@BellaDonna0912]

This was soooo helpful thank you 😊

[@chikaodiliejim]

I's expecting to hear abt the cost of stay but thanx for sheddin some light on these two, cos we're planning our summer getaway

[@doronalperin9480]

Thank you so much. That video was so helpful. OMG. What camera do you use? We want one as well for our trip ... :)

[@jilldunn123]

Thank you so much this was very informative

[@jessjoe16]

Great video! Thank you!

[@nykcarlos]

Going to The Kartrite Resort cuz ur video Thank you 🙏🏼

[@TopFlightFamily]

Yay you will definitely have a great time!! Cannot wait to hear about your experience!

[@randywilson2217]

Just came back from 2nd trip to Kalahari, was curious about Kartrite, this video saves me the trip. Check in at Kalahari had self serve kiosks, took maybe 5 minutes to check in, no need to entertain kids. I will say, Saturday was a mob compared to Friday. The only waterpark that I've been to that I can truly rank above Kalahari is Volcano Bay in Universal Studios Orlando, but that's an outside waterpark only, but its Florida, so its open most of the year. =)

[@broisonfire]

Can you do Katrite vs Great wolf lodge? I’d love to see that!

[@death_star11]

Kalahari is so much better! I went there in October and it was the best experience I ever had!

[@TopFlightFamily]

Love it!! Yeah it really is great!

[@death_star11]

My favorite slide at kalahari is Victoria Falls! Also one thing I keep noticing in your videos that feature kalahari is that you mistake screaming hyena for Sahara sidewinders and vice versa. Not trying to be mean, I’m just pointing out a small mistake. And I have a new suggestion, can you compare either Kalahari vs. Kalahari Sandusky, Ohio or Wisconsin Dells. Or Kalahari vs. Wild Water Kingdom at Dorney park in Allentown Pennsylvania!

[@TopFlightFamily]

Oh thats a good one!!

[@supertimegaming.]

U just loveeee karahari

[@Spider-Manfan555]

So cool.

[@TopFlightFamily]

So much fun!

[@WhoisAaliyah394]

I love Kalahari I’m going for the 11th time tomorrow! I love it new sub!

[@torikym]

When I went to Kalahari, they give you access to the water park while you wait for your room to be ready. So we got there hours early. Does Kartrite do that, too? Or am I better off getting there at check in time?

[@annymouse2276]

They allow you to have access to the facilities

[@shawnakleban]

I love this channel

[@TopFlightFamily]

Thanks Shawna!

[@mestawotmolla8234]

I have not been to either water park but I really ❤️ kalahari and I am planning to go this summer

[@TopFlightFamily]

Oh fantastic! Have a wonderful time!

[@jukingeo]

9:53 Yeah, I can tell that was a stab at Great Wolf Lodge. Specifically their pizza, which absolutely sucks! Overall, I will say that I was pretty impressed with the food at Kalahari. With Great Wolf Lodge it was touch and go. As I said, the pizza sucks, however, the little food shack in the water park area does have good burgers and the main restaurant inside is decent too. Further they have buffet style eating, so you can pick and choose what you like. However, I believe there was a buffet style place at Kalahari too. I am planning a trip to Kartrite next, so I will keep that chicken cutlet parm dish in mind. It looks like a nice little place. I am mainly going there because it is on the same route, and only a half our way from Legoland New York. Since Legoland's hotel prices are OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive, I could lodge in at Kartrite and get waterpark passes to boot for more than $175 less for a family of four.

[@AnubisPurpleMars]

I was at Kalahari Sandusky Ohio with my mom and my sister. We went down Victoria falls with our mother the first time, and sense it was a small line, me and my sister decided to go down it again. But, as we started, we were floating and not moving fast. Then, during the dark part of the slide, me and my sister got stuck and wouldn’t move. We tried tugging it and moving it but it wouldn’t budge. The water was loud and my sister was crying, and I was comforting her. I yelled for help multiple times, eventually, they heard me and stopped the water. A different life guard went up the slide (with all the water turned off) and grabbed the raft we were on. We got to slide down (slowly) until we made it down. Many people were around, starring. When me and my sister got out, my mother was overreacting a bit, But I could understand. I just had this memory sense I’m going tomorrow lol. Overall it’s an awesome place, but would recommend having some extra weight on the raft when going down Victoria falls. (Not trying to body shame if that sounded rude.) stay safe y’all

[@hearts4satoru687]

What is this Kartrite thing now...? Am I missing out...?

[@buckshot226]

In What state this resorts?

[@luvv4madii_]

Woo-hoo!!😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

[@TopFlightFamily]

😀😀

[@mitchellries256]

The Kartrite certainly looks like a fun place to go to. But here's my only concern. What the heck is there to do in the area where the Kartrite is?

[@TopFlightFamily]

Hi Mitchell I actually cover that in this video: 16 Things You Didn't Know About The Kartrite Water Park Monticello NY kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6uwgn-OeLx_iNk

[@latishajohnson32]

Going on Sunday me and my family have been to all except kartrite but we will be there on Sunday

[@aleezabaig2542]

I love ur channel!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@TopFlightFamily]

Thank you Aleeza! That means so much to us. 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Have you been to The Kartrite yet?

[@aleezabaig2542]

Top Flight Family no I haven’t been to it but when I watched your video in it I asked my mom and we are going to very soon, I went to kalahari and I’m going to camelback on Thursday I love when you do these videos so can you please do a Kalahari vs camelback?

[@TopFlightFamily]

Yes I’d love to do that! But we actually haven’t been to Camelback yet. That’s next on our list!

[@aleezabaig2542]

Top Flight Family yayy tell me how it is for you

[@TopFlightFamily]

@@aleezabaig2542 Is there any specific thing at Camelback you particularly recommend?

[@RushncrushJasonb]

I've been to Splashdown Beach and Cammelback and Kalahari and Mountain Creek

[@TopFlightFamily]

Wow you have been to a ton! Do you have a favorite?

[@RushncrushJasonb]

@@TopFlightFamily probably Kalahari

[@TopFlightFamily]

Nice! Definitely a great choice!

[@barbiedoll6158]

Help me figure this out my toddler never been to water park neither have i an im 30 im planning on taking her for her 5th birthday yall im scared of the big rides so im not interested which water park do u think i should take her comment below please an thank u

[@LoganGoriTaylorsVersion]

I’ve been to both but I like the kartrite more

[@TopFlightFamily]

You really can't go wrong with either one!

[@MillerFlowVlogsMFV]

Great vid. Thank you for the comparison. I won set have you guys been to Camelback Resort in the Poconos. I’d be interested to see how it compares to Kalahari.

[@TopFlightFamily]

Hey there! We actually haven’t been to Camelback yet. Its next on our list. Have you been yet? 😀

[@MillerFlowVlogsMFV]

We haven’t but are considering it for a family reunion. I have an uncle that left NY and moved to the Poconos. He mentioned it to me.

[@TopFlightFamily]

You’ll have to let us know what you think if you end up going!

[@MillerFlowVlogsMFV]

Top Flight Family I will if we choose it.

[@mikeybeanz5288]

MillerFlow Vlogs soo Did you go

[@jc4me4eva91]

Can you please visit Camelback Ski Resort and give a review? We just did Kalahari and it was amazing 🤩

[@smile_facejailbreak4119]

YEA THAT INDOOR WATERPARK IS AMAZING but i didnt go to camelbeach sadly

[@beastmode762]

What do you think about Camelback ?

[@TopFlightFamily]

You’ll find out in a couplw weeks! 😀

[@luvv4madii_]

First again?!?!?😊😊😊

[@TopFlightFamily]

You’re on a roll! 😀🙌🏼

[@guillermoroquelo]

In any of the hotel the breakfast is included?

[@TopFlightFamily]

No, none of these resorts are all inclusive so all meals are extra.

[@guillermoroquelo]

@@TopFlightFamily thanks so much for reply..also I would like to ask you something else..my apologies to bother that much..for the games, arcade, bowling game do I have to pay extra?? Or everything is imcluded I mean the games..I know foods are not included :))

[@TopFlightFamily]

No problem! All the games are an additional cost as well!

[@guillermoroquelo]

@@TopFlightFamily wow and they are very expensive? Like the arcade or bowling? Thanks a lot!!

[@TopFlightFamily]

It all varies but comparable to what you would pay anywhere else. Def check out the website and they list all the pricing info!

[@livinglifewithriri3241]

I LOVE KARTEITe ITS ThE MOsT FUNEST PLaCE EVER

[@TopFlightFamily]

Totally agree!

[@ronniebondy5183]

I like both a lot but I prefer Kalahari because it has so many different slides to go on and tihs is,b,er I’m going to the pencil venia one for the first time usually I go to ohip Kalahari and the Ohio kalahari has the best arecade ever it’s so awesome my favorite arecade I went to great wolf lodge drop slide amazing I go on it over and over only thing is I feel like there not enough slides at great wolf lodge and the arecade seems way smaller than the Ohio Kalahari but still even though I like Kalahari better great wolf lodge is a great trip to add onto Niagara Falls like it’s a great addon

[@Fattybrownmusic]

Kalahari is much better! I’m at Kartrite now. It’s horrible. Most things are closed for most of the day. Difficult to find food. And only 3 working water slides.

[@alexlukose1491]

Ok, first of all kalahari has a brownish color because it is safari themed

[@icedcoffee6461]

I worked at the kartrite . Me and my coworkers had a great time before it was opened for the public

[@TopFlightFamily]

Oh that does sound like fun!

[@caro8153]

I have a Kalahari wristband on my wrist 😂

[@TopFlightFamily]

Ha thats awesome!!

[@mikeybeanz5288]

I’m going to kalahari again in March with 7 of my friends

[@TopFlightFamily]

OH how fun is that! Have a fantastic time!

[@mikeybeanz5288]

Top Flight Family thanks I will!

[@hearts4satoru687]

I’m going to kalahari when I’m turning 9 but I choose whatever I want and I stay there for 5 days but no friends

[@locamochi7080]

I’m going in March for my brothers birthday

[@mikeybeanz5288]

Loca Mochi what days?

[@sxphia4937]

I’ve been to great wolf 3 times, I’ve been to kalahari 4 times, and the kartrite 0 lol

[@rimpysingh8928]

Hi bruh

[@ryantaranto7413]

You forgot a restaurant at kalahari ivory coast

[@locamochi7080]

You don’t have to pay extra to ride the flow rider at Sandusky kalahari

[@TopFlightFamily]

Oh that is good to know!

[@DogBreedEdits]

I think kirtright is better

[@DannySingerMusic]

"KARTRITE..4!"

[@TopFlightFamily]

👍

[@EtaM29]

Kalaharis flo rider is free I’ve been there multiple times and never payed for it

[@unicornpotion8910]

That’s I’m im saying it’s free

[@warrenmorris1599]

Kalahari

[@TopFlightFamily]

So fun!!

[@Marvin.Martinez096]

cant wwait

[@TarenesTalentTime]

STILL WAITING FOR PRICE COMPARISON THE MOST IMPORTANT THING…

[@AmtrakProductions]

I disagree on the water park. The Kalahari atmosphere gave a lot of us a headache, due to the poor lighting. Also, the Kalahari had insane queue waits, compared to the Kartrite.

[@TopFlightFamily]

Thanks for watching! Great points and sorry that the lighting gave you a head ache! Yikes!

[@AmtrakProductions]

Top Flight Family yeah! I always prefer outdoor parks, but the Kartrite has that Glass Ceiling that makes it much better. You guys NEED to try Camelback Lodge! That place has an amazing indoor water park! It was built in 2015 and it has about 7 big water slides! They’re really unique and it’s a great park! They even have really great indoor mini golf!

[@funtoysviariannys6957]

KALAHARI is the best

[@TopFlightFamily]

Yes it’s so fun! Can’t wait to go back

[@illdee04]

kalahari is the best and then... great wolf.

[@ygbodybuilder3023]

Naw bro camel back before great wolf

Pretty sure DreamWorks waterpark is bigger than Kalahari 🤔
