Kid Friendly Hotels In Niagara Falls
Vacations to Niagara Falls, Ontario and wide-eyed energetic kids just seem to go hand in hand. The lights, people and the scenery are enough to keep your chlidren on an energy high during your entire stay. Choosing a hotel that provides activities for over-stimulated children can make the trip that much more enjoyable for everyone. Below are a few of my favourite kid friendly hotels in Niagara Falls.
This hotel is a popular and convenient choice for families. It is located mere minutes from the Falls and is within walking distance of endless entertainment options for children of all ages. They offer family sized rooms and a covered walk-way takes you right to the connect Falls Indoor Waterpark. Indoor courtyards throughout provide comfortable meeting places. The hotel is situated just steps from Casino Niagara and an indoor walk-way system also connects to Adventure City, a large arcade complex. Other family friendly restaurants minutes from the hotel are Planet Hollywood and Hard Rock Cafe. Discounted package deals are available. The location of this hotel is a great selling point.
The entire purpose of the Great Wolf Lodge is to cater to rambunctious children. Decored in a cozy log cabin style, the mega resort is teeming with excited children at all times. From the time you walk into the lobby, you realize that you are in a magical place for kids. Large animated creatures great you in the lobby and periodically talk to you. The complex houses a spectacular indoor waterpark. There is also a large arcade as well as shopping all catered to the young ones. There is even a 'spa' where children can pamper themselves, if you are willing to pay for that sort of thing. The cafeteria style restaurant has numerous kid friendly food choices and the kid friendly guest rooms are designed for all sizes of famlies. Birthday parties are particularly popular at this kid friendly hotel and packages are offered. Location wise, The Great Wolf Lodge is located just across the road from the Niagara Parkway, a few miles down from the Falls themselves but close to other scenic wonders. The Whirpool Aero Car and the Niagara Glen Nature and Totem Pole Park are both within walking distance. Be prepared to end up spending a considerable amount of time at the hotel itself, as it will be hard to drag your kids away.
THE AMERICANA CONFERENCE RESORT AND SPA
The Americana Conference Resort and Spa is both an adult and kid friendly hotel in Niagara Falls. If you want to stay just a bit further away from the hustle and bustle of the busy Fallsview area, then this would be a good match. Located just on the outskirts of the city, this spacious resort offers something for everyone. There is a family friendly restaurant onsite. This kid friendly hotel also boasts an indoor water park with retractable roof for those hot summer days. Additionally there is a separate adult pool and sauna in the complex, as well as an outdoor pool. A nice selling point here is that an outdoor play area is also included. If shopping is on your agenda, the Americana Conference Resort and Spa is conveniently located down the road from the Niagara Outlet Shopping Complex.
The Best Western Cairn Croft is located on the Lundy's Lane 'Strip', just a few miles from the Falls and the centre of the action. It is designed in a courtyard style and the tropical courtyard houses an indoor large family friendly pool and playground. The ambience is quite inviting for youngsters and the location is also plus for families. One of the greatest advantages of this hotel is its proximity to inexpensive and familiar fast food restaurants. It is next door a MacDonald's Restaurant and a Pizza Hut and within a block of Arby's, Wendy's Burger King and Swiss Chalet. It is also within a block from a large dollar store that sells Canadian souvenirs cheaper than anywhere in the tourist district. A large Value Village Thrift Store is also located a block away for any last minute inexpensive clothing purchases. A grocery store is also only minutes away if you wish to stock up on snacks and local produce.
NIAGARA FALLS HILTON FALLSVIEW
Located directly across the road from the Fallsview Casino, this huge modern hotel offers rooms that boast views of both the Canadian and American Falls'. It is a mere block away from the Falls itself and close to many restaurants and souvenir type shopping venues. The attraction that it holds for both children and adults is in its pool complex, which has a large waterslide for the little ones as well as a relaxing whirpool spa for the adults. There is plenty of lounge chairs available and life guards are on duty. Also, there is an arcade and fitness room in the pool area. Up the road, there is a sit down Tim Hortons coffee shop with inexpensive 'non tourist' priced breakfasts and lunch options. If you want to be directly in the centre of all the action with a beautiful view of the Falls, this is a great choice for famlies.
