The Bahari Interactive Wave Pool at Holiday World & Splashin' Safari, Santa Claus, Indiana

Bahari is going to be a great addition to the Splashin' Safari section of Holiday World because one of the most popular attractions has been the Wave which is also a wave pool.  The problem is that The Wave gets extremely crowded so Bahari will help spread the crowd around so everyone can have a great day hanging ten.

Bahari is Swahili for immense sea and Bahari fits that definition with 33,000 square feet of surf which is twice that of the Wave.

The work on the wall was fascinating to watch.  It reminded me of those huge extremely detailed sand sculptures but instead of sand the artisans from Creative Concrete Construction were working in cement.

They started out with a rough concrete surface like this and added their concrete to it before getting out the trowels to sculpt the features of the rock wall.
