Apex Indoor Water Park - click for more information and full description An incredible site, the Apex Center features a huge swimming area complete with water slides, hot tubs and a clubhouse-like "pump station" that sprays water from every conceivable angle. The 23,500-square-foot aquatics area, with five separate components, has the look and feel of a resort indoor water park. Moving water creates a dramatic interplay with Colorado Mountain and mining themes for an unforgettable aquatic recreation experience. The body slide and tube slide at the western end of the area are both 150 feet long, curving outside the building before splashing down. Other activities include a current channel, which also gets used for water exercise; tethered floating logs, for climbing and balance games; a water basketball area; and nets for water volleyball. There'ys also a regulation size ice rink for ice skating, workout areas and weight rooms. Dinner will be available all night in our private party room, with a buffet from Qdoba Mexican Grill that includes a specialty taco and nacho bar. Choose between chicken or steak, and top it off with lettuce, sour cream, cheese, guacamole and an assortment of salsas, along with homemade tortilla chips and 3-Cheese Queso.
