Consider driving a bit further and you can:
Go to the Dells and rent a large house or two or get several muliple room adjoining suites (1, 2 & 3 Bedrooms have kitchens typically) - check the Wilderness Resort, the Kalahari or Great Wolf to take advantage of the indoor waterparks. We go up around Xmas for a couple of days most years and have a blast.

Or go to Galena and rent a large house or two at Eagle Ridge or another one in the area.

Grand Bear Resort at Starved Rock (near Ottawa) has an indoor water park. You can stay in their villas or cabins that have multiple bedrooms. It's about an hour an a half to two hours away.
