We just spent the day at SKYLAKE Adventures in Sheridan, Indiana, for one of our big Indianapolis summer activities, and my four kids, ages 9 to 16, are already asking when we can go back.
That is usually the best review I can give you.
We were invited for a hosted sneak peek before SKYLAKE opens to the public on Thursday, June 4, 2026, and I went in with high hopes.
I left sun-soaked, sandy, tired from all of the fun, and very excited for central Indiana families to experience this new lake adventure park, which is not your typical Indy waterpark.
