    I had the pleasure of taking a day trip to the falls with a business colleague after finishing work sooner then expected.
    What a great spot. Really unique exeriance to see this amazing attraction.
    Lots of neat old buildings and history in this area. Love the Nikola Tesla area. Really want to take my wife so we can experiance this together. It would really romantic to get a night at the Marriott overlooking this amazing area in our country.

    The group of senior citizens I was with today thoroughly enjoyed the short film explaining the conservatory and the process of raising the butterflies. Walking through the conservatory was rather magical! I highly recommend this.

    This is definitely a must when visiting Niagara Falls. You enter at the visitors center on the Canadian side. You get a up close and personal view of the falls and a little spray for the falls. Poncho provided.

    Visited 26/05/2023. This was quite spectacular to see the rushing river rapids after it has fallen over the falls. It really shows you the strength of water en masse. The informational boards are interesting as well, with different stories of people throughout. Steps littered throughout the walkway so not suitable for wheelchair users along the length of the walk.

    We paid for this with the Clinton Hills Fun Pass for $35. The ride is great to see the attractions down below. The employee gave us extra turns because they weren’t busy. He was very friendly. This is a must attraction to do when visiting Niagara Falls.

    This is a Great Canadian Landmark. There are many higher waterfalls to be sure. It is the volume of water that makes this so spectacular.

    A nice surprise, one wouldn’t think this existed right by the Niagara Falls. Great experience for both adults and young adults. My 16 yr old enjoyed it. One hour of your time here is enough to explore the place. Entry fee is very affordable.

    Clifton Hill is walkable from Fallsview Boulevard for 30 minutes. Alternatively, take WEGO green or red lines.

    We were in for a surprise as we thought it is a small place. There were many shops, restaurants and hotels there. Hard Rock restaurant and shop are there too.

    Good for family with kids as they will enjoy the various rides and kid's attractions.

    We visited 26/05/2023.

    This was a fun experience. Suspended over the Niagara Falls in a Whirlpool Aero Car. Seeing the strength and power of the water from above is interesting.
    You start on one side of the car, and then at the halfway point you switch to the other side. Most people on our car didn't seem to understand the concept of walking to see the other side, but staff do tell you. They are also super informative about the falls.

    Buy tickets in advance, and be prepared to wait in a queue to get on - especially on busy days. We waited about 20 minutes on a weekday. You get great views though to worth it.

    It is a beautiful view from this bridge looking over to the Cabausn side, the city lights and the Falls. Recommend go off -season to avoid the crowds. Bring a winter coat, hat and gloves and it will be fine. Niagara Falls is mesmerizing, it never gets old.

    The lights around the park at Xmas are awesome. The views are awesome! The atmosphere was awesome!

    The parking was NOT awesome! $11 per half hour right along the falls. $35 a day in the lots above the park! $5 hour $20 a day mostly everywhere else!

    The bathrooms here are pretty clean. You can get food, coffee, gifts etc in here.

    It’s also the home for Niagara fury and journey behind the falls. Both are part of the wonder pass.

    WeGo arrives and leaves here every few minutes.

    This is a lovely spot for some scenic hiking. I did wish that I had worn my hiking boots, rather than sneakers, as the trails are quite rough, but it is a really pretty area and you can get right down to the river for some lovely views. There is quite a large iron staircase to get to any of the hiking areas and we found the signage a little confusing at times, but it was a lovely way to spend an hour or so while visiting Niagara Falls.

    Go to the botanical gardens and butterfly conservatory! Early morning is a great time to avoid the crowd and get the quiet beauty all to yourself.
