My husband and I came to Niagara Falls and had so much fun being a kid again at Clifton Hill! I recommend to anyone to get a fun pass! It’s easiest to buy a fun pass from one of the vendors on Clifton Hill. Here’s my review of all we did with the fun pass!
Movieland Wax Museum- as far as wax museums go, this one isn’t good. The wax figures do not look like the people they are portraying. However, the atmosphere is really fun! We had a good time looking around and probably spend 15 mins inside.
Ghost Blasters- similar in concept to Disney’s Astro Blasters but not nearly as cool. You’re in a 2 person kart shooting with a laser gun at the targets. Tip: only shoot that targets that light up, others won’t give you points.
Cosmic Coaster- This was my favorite, way better than expected! You really feel like you’re on a roller coaster in space. A lot of screaming and laughing!
Wizard Golf- best glow golf I’ve ever done! Great design and unique courses. And it’s air conditioned so it’s great for beating the heat!
Zombie Attack- similar technology to the Cosmic Coaster but this time you have a laser gun and are shooting a zombies. Very fun, and a few jump scares to keep you on your toes.
Skywheel- we did the skywheel near the end of sunset and got to see the falls lit up! We waited about 20 mins in line and you get to do 3 full rotations on the wheel. I’m not a huge fan of Ferris wheels but I have no complaints...
Read moreClifton Hill can be a lot of fun. There are many attractions and lots of people, especially on the weekends and around the holidays. Food is everywhere and has plenty to do for all ages. It's usually wholesome family fun. It's a tourist area.
It can get really busy. Parking prices go up as they get busier and can be anywhere from $5 to $25++. Attractions are very similar, so there isn't actually as much variety as you'd think (4d/6d ride/ films, wax museums, various mini golf, bowling, arcade, etc). The street is a hill, like its name, so there is quite the incline, and it can be tough for some with mobility issues or those trying to push heavy strollers up the hill.
Restaurants are significantly more expensive and often don't participate in any kind of discount or honour any kind of coupons even if they are part of a larger chain. It can be really expensive and places charge their own self invented tax on top of government taxes.
It's worth visiting at least once. You'll save some money by parking a bit further, bringing some snacks and water, and leaving the area to find food. Also, avoid the weekend if you're trying to...
Read moreVisited with my family back in mid August, so it was jam packed. To go along with basically everything being over priced, it’s what should be expected that time of year in such a tourist attraction/trap. There is just so much to do. Arcades, candy stores, restaurants, souvenir shops, hotels, smoke shops……. Basically everything one could ask for. If you are looking to gamble, there are a bunch of casinos a few blocks away. Parking can be a little tricky and pricy. If it’s packed up, it’s damn near impossible to find a spot. I suggest going up the street away from the action and keep an eye out for hotels offering parking. You can walk and see the falls from the street. There are plenty of areas to view, take pictures and they even have viewing stations you can pay by coins and zoom in on the falls. Everything starts to open around noon, and stays open until about 11pm or so. That’s not official, just what I remembered. To take it all in, I would certainly suggest getting there when everything opens. Hope this helps! Enjoy your trip to...
