Life is good.
Taking its cue from the many successful water parks in the Wisconsin Dells, the Hilton Milwaukee City Center opened its own water park on Sept. 5. On that date, Paradise Landing became the first indoor water park in Milwaukee. The hope is that winter-weary locals and Illinois flatlanders who typically flock to the Dells for such respite will seize on the Hilton convenience. So far, more than 1,000 rooms have been rented for the city plunge. The recent snap of ultra-low temperatures makes the staff hopeful that more families will seek Paradise.
