619.0. "Waterslide Information" by WMOIS::AHEARN_C () Tue Oct 06 1992 14:28

    Judging from some of the responces I've read in this conference, I'm almost
    afraid to enter this note.  I've been through the whole conference and
    haven't found what I'm looking for, therefore I'm left with entering
    this note.  My family will be visiting the Toronto area during our
    February school vacation.  We plan on doing some skiing, but not seven
    days of it.  I'm looking for interesting things to keep our 10 and 11
    year old busy. 
    
    This is the question I have, and I am very serious.  Seems to me at one
    time or other, watching TV with the kids there was an advertisement on
    one of the kids TV stations that referred to an indoor waterpark filled
    with water slides etc.  Was I dreaming or is there such a thing in the
    Toronto area.  Memory says Toronto??
    
    If this could be seriously answered or other interesting suggestions
    made for the dates February 14 - 20th I'd appreciate it.
    
    Thanks

619.1West Edmonton Mall?POLAR::ROBINSONPWhere the Huskies goTue Oct 06 1992 16:077
     Dunno, but I think the biggest indoor water plagound is in the
    West Edmonton Mall, in Alberta. If you want to shop till you drop,
    stay in a fantasy hotel and have the kids swim in a wave pool,
    this is the place to do it.

619.2There is an outdoor one in T.O.KAOOA::MHOGANThu Oct 08 1992 10:504
    There is "Wild Water Kingdom in Toronto", which is Canada's largest
    OUTDOOR water slide park.  I don't know of any indoor ones.

Last time I've been to it, Montreal's La Ronde water slide park claimed to be
the largest in the World.  I think they have about 26 slides.  I guest that's
not true anymore?

619.4Ontario Science CentreTROOA::BROOKSWed Oct 14 1992 14:5710
    don't know about any indoor water park thingies, but if you want to
    keep your kids 'stimulated' the best place to go is the Ontario Science
    Centre at Eglinton and Don mills road.   Tons of HANDS-ON experiments
    and gadgets for them (and you) to play on.
    
    Note that there isn't any downhill skiing within the city limits.  That
    sort of fun would require a 1-2 hour drive outside the city.
