We had a blast at the Great Wolf Lodge here Mothers Day Weekend. I've spent a lot of time at waterparks and it was a pretty nice one. We had the Kids Kamp Suite I think, and it had a bunk bed, king size bed, and a sleeper sofa. Worked great for the 5 of us.

At 10 and 12 I'm not sure I'd let the kids roam free, but lots of people did. There is an interactive scavenger hunt game that takes the kids through the stairwell to the first 5-6 floors. It's a good 2 solid hours of running around all over the place. I drank beer and did it with our 7 and 9 year old. You pay $20 for a wand and then point it at items as you find them from the list, and the computer keeps track of where you are in the game. We did it at night after the park was closed. I think they turned it off at 11. It was a good time.

By the time you pay for 2 days of meals and lodging you'll probably be out close to $1000, but you'll have fun.

Just make sure the kiddos have passports per the new laws.

We have a Great Wolf here that we go to. It has always been fun, but since Kalahari built their largest park we have been going there. I like Great Wolf's rooms- we used to get the loft suites. There are plenty activities for the kids.

There is also a new water park attached to the Sheraton on the Falls (not to be confused with the Fallsview Sheraton- you do not want this one). We have stayed at the Sheraton on the Falls and it is great! Granted, it was before the water park was finished, but the view is incredible. It is right at the bottom of Clifton Hill, so all of the cool things to do are right there (wax museums, Rainforest Cafe, etc.). In the same complex (Fallsview Complex), basically all attached to the hotel are a casino, Hard Rock, Planet Hollywood, Hershey store, Starbucks and many other little shops. Here is the link http://www.fallsviewwaterpark.com/hotels.php . They have just room rates or rooms w/water park pass rates.

The Maid Of The Mist is a must do IMO
