Hi Mothers,
I am looking to get away this chol hamoed sukkot with my husband. Leaving from Queens, NY. I was originally planning on going to Niagara Falls where they have the Niagara Chabad and great accommodations but I will be 36 weeks pregnant b"H and I am starting to feel like I will have the baby at any moment! So, now I am looking for something closer that has kosher/sukkah accommodations for October 8-11. Any suggestions?

Will there be any separate hours for men/women to use the waterpark, or do your husbands and sons just not go, and you and your daughters go in coverups?

I don't know anything about the Jewish group. I'm just going with a few other couples and we will probably take our kids to the water park without our husbands

Cocoa key and sahara sams are both indoor water parks having separate men and ladies hours over chol hamoed. Need to check circulars to see which days. Both in NJ.
