Niagara Falls Indoor Water Park Hosts Toronto’s Number 1 Morning Show

The Fallsview Indoor Waterpark is excited to have once again hosted the CityTV Breakfast Television “Live Eye”. Viewers of the popular morning show tuned in as “Live Eye” Host Jennifer Valentyne hosted live segments at the 3 acre Niagara Falls Waterpark between 6:30 am-9:00 am. This was the second appearance of the “Live Eye” at the Fallsview Waterpark.

The Live Eye Host, Valentyne introduced viewers to the Waterpark and to General Manager Ori Ovics whom officially launched the Breakfast Television Viewer Contest featuring the chance to win one of three Hotel Waterpark Package Getaways including hotel accommodations at the Sheraton on the Falls, and 4 two-day waterpark passes.

Valentyne was joined by a notable guest in Niagara Falls, Mayor Ted Salci, for her 8:00 am live segment which featured a ride with the Mayor on the Great Canadian Plunge Bowl. Mayor Salci may not have been prepared to experience the excitement of the waterslide, not bringing a swimsuit to the park, however, with gentle ribbing and the promise of getting a link on the Breakfast Television website for the Niagara children’s charity, ‘Project S.H.A.R.E.’ thrown into the mix, the Mayor proved he was a good sport and was convinced to participate – in his work attire!

The 3 acre Fallsview Indoor Waterpark is located on the Falls Avenue Entertainment Complex in Niagara Falls Ontario, and is situated directly across from Falls in the heart of the premier Fallsview tourist district. The Waterpark features 16 extreme slides, oversized wave pool, mammoth Beach House Play Area with 1000 Gallon Tipping Bucket, year-round outdoor activity pool and sundeck, Planet Hollywood Beach Club and more.

Fallsview Rainbow Room Restaurant View of Niagara Falls

We recently had some very exciting guests dine in our Fallsview restaurant on Labour Day weekend.  In case you didn’t hear the Jonas Brothers were visiting Niagara Falls on Sunday and we were extremely pleased when they decided to have dinner in the Fallsview Rainbow Room dining room, here in the Crowne Plaza Hotel!  There is no better place to experience amazing local food prepared by our own Chef Damian Harrington and see the majestic Niagara Falls. The family thoroughly enjoyed their experience here at the Rainbow Room and we hope to see them back again someday.

I would like to congratulate our team at the Crowne Plaza Fallsview Hotel for the great job they did while we had the delegates from around the globe representing the Leprosy Mission of Canada stay with us.  We always strive to provide our guests with exceptional service and we were flattered to be given an award for Host of the National Leprosy Conference.  The Leprosy Mission of Canada not only brings knowledge to others about this disease but gives an opportunity for people for learn from each other and share experiences.

The convention was a great success and we are very proud to have contributed to that factor!  Hopefully the members not only enjoyed The Crowne Plaza hotel but were also able to relax and enjoy a bit of sightseeing around Niagara Falls while they had the opportunity!

Thanks for reading

Mid Sixties expansion welcomed the Sheraton Foxhead

The Sixties marked the start of a revolution for Niagara Falls and the site that would become the Falls Avenue Entertainment Complex.   While the Crowne Plaza continued its level of excellence by hosting the King and Queen of Nepal in the Rainbow Room, plans were quickly being put into place that would see the formation of an entertainment complex.   The expansion began in 1966 with the addition of a sister hotel for the Crowne in the 14-storey Sheraton Foxhead Inn (current day Sheraton on the Falls).   A year later, the Sheraton Motor Inn was constructed which would become the centre point of the Maple Leaf Village Amusement Park and would go on to be the Village Inn, before becoming the Skyline Inn. 

Next Time: Maple Leaf Village Fun Steps from the Falls
