Indoor pools and water parks are open year-round so your water-loving kids can enjoy the rush of waterslides, the slow float in a wave pool and swimming in the pool even when it’s snowing outside. Since they’re located in resorts or hotels, make it a family weekend getaway or holiday vacation.

Here are the best indoor water parks in Ontario.

Great Wolf Lodge

Great Wolf Lodge has one of the biggest indoor water parks in Canada, along with a nature-themed amusement centre and luxury, kid-friendly accommodations. One of three great indoor water parks located in the Niagara region, Great Wolf Lodge is perfect for an unforgettable family getaway.

While the kids enjoy the water activities at this Ontario water park, parents can relax poolside in a rented cabana. The Great Wolf Lodge water park is home to huge waterslides, rides and activities for all ages.

Start with the family raft ride slide called the Wooly Mammoth, or hit the Niagara Rapids Run, a thrilling water roller coaster. For the brave members of the family, there’s the Canada Vortex, an epic slide with a four-story drop in mere seconds.

Location: 3950 Victoria Avenue, Niagara Falls

Waves Indoor Waterpark

Located in the Americana Conference Resort Spa & Waterpark, the glass structure that surrounds Waves Indoor Waterpark lets in lots of natural light.

Plus, Waves is the only Niagara Falls indoor water park with a retractable roof, which opens during the summer season and closes to keep the water park toasty warm throughout winter.

Younger kids love the beach-entry wave pool and splashing under the giant tipping bucket. Older kids will spend hours in the tube and body slides, while adults can soak in the 16-person hot spa. There really is a little something for everyone, making this Ontario water park the ultimate place to relax with the entire family.

Plunge! Blue Mountain
