ERIE. In a city that receives more than its share of lake effect snow and cold temps, a perpetual tropical paradise of 84 degree weather and water-filled fun sounds almost unreal ... unless, of course, you factor in Splash Lagoon, a huge, indoor water park that features body coasters, tube coasters, an 80,000 gallon activity pool, a toddler water park called Monkeyshine Island, a five story tree house, video arcades, laser tag and more. Extreme rides have names like Big Kahuna, Cyclone and Hurricane Hole. A number of restaurants and hotels conveniently adjoin the facility.
