From the Buffalo News:
The city skipped right over spring and jumped into summer Thursday with the opening of a $210 million resort and indoor water park, the Great Wolf Lodge.
The year-round destination is one of two multimillion-dollar indoor water parks opening this month on the Canadian side of the falls, a much closer drive for those in the Buffalo Niagara region than a popular spot for indoor splashing in Erie, Pa.
Fallsview Indoor Water Park, the other new water attraction, will be connected to three hotels at the foot of Clifton Hill, near the Rainbow Bridge. It is scheduled to open April 28.
“The water parks are just the beginning of a concerted move toward making Niagara Falls a year-round destination,” said Mayor R.T. “Ted” Salci. “We’re telling people that you can come here in the middle of winter and be warm.”
