5 Fantasy Hotels

We know, it's been eight whole months since Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 1. We haven't been counting down the days, minutes, and seconds or anything…

In celebration of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2, we've rounded up the most fantastical hotels that will make the reenactment of your favorite Harry Potter scene seem normal (not that we're saying it's abnormal…).

The Mirage, Las Vegas The trademark attraction here is the kid-friendly man-made volcano at the entrance. Siegfried & Roy's Secret Garden & Dolphin Habitat is also popular with families.

Nickelodeon Suites Resort, Orlando Designed to be a kid heaven, the hotel is full of amenities like waterslides, "4D Experience" movies, character breakfast buffets, and a 3,000-square-foot video arcade -- all coated in signature Nickelodeon orange and green and heralded by giant statues of SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora the Explorer, and Rugrat characters.

Omni San Francisco Hotel "Kid's Fantasy Suite" comes stocked with toys, books, beanbag chairs, and even bunk beds that sleep two.

Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas The Tank, the Golden Nugget's one-of-a-kind pool, is named for the massive 200,000-gallon shark aquarium in the middle. A three-story waterslide runs around the tank, shooting guests past sand tiger sharks, nurse sharks, and zebra sharks via a transparent tube.

Disney Animal Kingdom Lodge, Orlando From the gazelles and giraffes grazing in the savannah to the enormous pool with a waterslide, the Disney Animal Kingdom Lodge was made for kids. Plus, throughout the day, staff members lead educational activities for children like craft-making, African drumming, or mini-lessons about the where giraffes come from.
