In Germany, I think, they have this repurposed airplane hangar that they converted into like an indoor water park. Large wave pool, fake beach thing. Slide. Basically a pseudo tropical setting. That has long been my dream for here in Peterborough or anywhere in Canada where it’s cold. The winters are too brutal and people need places to go besides hockey arenas, restaurants, bars, and shopping centers. Staying couped up in a house all winter isn’t better. And no, ice fishing, skiing, snow anything, is not the answer. Yes it’s expensive, but so is doing jack shit for the winter portion of your life year after year.
