If you encounter a rainy day or need to entertain the family why not go bowling or play some miniature golf? It's about a 30 minute drive but there's more shops and restaurants in Olean as well if you want to explore more of the greater region.

Possibly the main reason you're here- HV is so much more than winter sports. There is also a spa, a restaurant, a rope course and a mountain roller coaster! Seasonally, there are also pools to enjoy and you need not be a guest to partake--just make your swim reservation online!

City advice
Getting around
Occasional Ubers
On busy weekends or during special events there are Uber and Lyft drivers around. Our personal experience has been that they can be scarce late at night so plan ahead!
What to pack
Dress for WNY weather and elements!
We always recommend layers in the winter and bug spray and sunscreen in the summer!
If you want more detailed advice, please don't hesitate to reach out!
