Year-round snow in Western New York at Snowpark Niagara







Last week I had the opportunity to visit Snowpark Niagara in downtown Niagara Falls, which was the site of the monthly Niagara Frontier Tourism Task Force meeting. After pizza and our business meeting, our group had a tour of the facility, which includes a NHL size skating rink, a 50 foot hill for tubing and snowboarding, a snow play area and even a miniature golf course.

The facility is open year-round, as they have snowmaking equipment. I wasn't brave enough to try out the hill, but a few people in our group tried out the tubing and they said it was a really fast ride. There were a lot of high school and college age dudes on the snowboarding hill.

The prices seemed reasonable, Adults are charged $13 for either tubing or snowboarding, plus skating, snowzone and golf. To do both tubing and snowbarding they would pay $20 for the deluxe ticket. Children's tickets are $11 or $18 for the deluxe ticket.
