Plunge! Indoor Aquatic Centre at Blue Mountain
I was late to the party when it comes to knowing Blue Mountain had an indoor water feature. It’s not technically big enough to be called an indoor waterpark, but it is still a fun place to visit if you’re already going to be in the Blue Mountain area. Slip slide down the water slide and enjoy their indoor and outdoor pools. Your family will love the rope swing, dumping bucket and basketball nets, too. Visit Plunge! in all seasons for water park fun. Starting at $16 for a day pass, per person.

Mississauga Meadowvale Hilton
We have stayed here with kids and without and it is an ideal hotel for anyone. Our last visit was a quick Family Day staycation and the kids still laugh about how fast their mom zoomed down this curly water slide. The pool’s open hours have been carrying recently so be sure to check it will be open when you plan to stay.
