Clifton Hill...the not-so-hidden gem
If there is one place you should not miss during your stay in Niagara Falls, it is Clifton Hill. Located one block from the Niagara Falls, Clifton hill is a street, the “tourist district” of the Falls, if you will.
Experience the SkyWheel - a Ferris wheel that towers over the Niagara Falls skyline at 175 feet, while you sit in an encased gondola with air conditioning, heat, and a phone.
If you are a fan of museums, be sure to check out the Movieland Wax Museum, Guinness World Record Museum, Louis Tussauds and Ripley’s Believe it or Not. Each museum has its own unique features, and everyone from celebrities to religious figures, heroes to villains are displayed.
Dinosaur Park is located at the top of the Hill, and gives a great look into prehistoric times. Located on a mini-putt course, it is fun for all ages.
The Great Canadian Midway is more than an arcade. It has a roller coaster, 3D theatre, table games, bowling, pool, motion simulators, and any game you’d see at an average carnival…indoors.
Also don’t forget to stop by the WWE, Hershey’s, Coca-Cola, Harley Davidson and MGM Grand stores. And how can I forget Lego Land? An entire “city” made from the same Legos you played with as a child!
Be sure to park a couple blocks away and enjoy the Hill on foot, because there’s very little chance you’ll find a spot to park on the Hill anyway! It will also allow you to be able to see everything Clifton Hill has to offer without missing a thing.
It’s the brightest and most exciting place in Niagara Falls. Have fun!
