Kalahari Resorts & Conventions has announced an investment of $10.5M to bring new amenities to its Sandusky location. Updates to the resort include two new restaurants, a lobby renovation, and a new waterslide experience.  

“2025 marks our 20th anniversary at Kalahari Resort in Sandusky, Ohio,” said Brian Shanle, resort general manager.  “We have been incredibly blessed to have welcomed millions of amazing, loyal guests over two decades and are thrilled to continue to bring new experiences and amenities to enhance the Kalahari experience for years to come.”

Guests will enjoy the addition of two new dining options.  MACS is a fast-casual restaurant serving handcrafted macaroni and cheese and other comfort food favorites, and Cinco Niños is a modern Mexican restaurant & tequila bar.  

MACS offers a variety of unique macaroni and cheeses, such as the jalapeño popper MAC, loaded baked potato MAC and buffalo chicken MAC.  

Cinco Niños offers Mexican favorites including quesadillas, enchiladas, fajitas, and tacos.  The restaurant also features a full-service bar, offering signature tequila and mezcal drinks.

The renovation also includes the addition of a new indoor waterpark experience, named the “Dawn Breaker.”  The only one of its kind in northeastern Ohio, this exhilarating two-person slide features a heart-pounding “boomerang” effect, as riders wind through the night to the dawn of a new day, chasing an African sunrise.
