There is no shortage of water in Niagara Falls. The spectacular falls are the focal points of the popular getaway. But another mini water trend has emerged in the area: indoor water park resorts. They offer visitors the opportunity to don their bathing suits year-round and hoot and holler as they careen down water slides. No matter the weather, here's where you and your water-loving brood can plan a water park vacation.

The enormous park is located inside a dome on top of a parking garage that, yes, overlooks the falls. It is part of the Falls Avenue complex and is affiliated with over 1000 rooms in three hotels: Sheraton on the Falls, Crowne Plaza Niagara Falls, and the Skyline Inn.

It is smaller than the area's other two parks, but Waves offers a clear, retractable roof. In the cooler months, the glass enclosure allows lots of sunlight, while in the summer the roof can open to the outside.
