Review from Heraldo P.

Every time my family and I go vacation at Canada, Niagara Falls and Clifton Hill are a MUST!
After a long day at the falls, takin' pics, and ridin' the ever-so-cool Maid of the Mist, it's time to kick back and enjoy the night. At night, Clifton Hill gets so bright and neon that it resembles Las Vegas.
Clifton Hill is like a mini amusement park by the falls. It has a giant Sky Wheel, four scary haunted houses (one of them was Nightmares Fear Factory, which claimed that over 3 million people "chickened out",) a lot of restaurant chains, like Rainforest Cafe, Burger King (with a giant gorilla on top of the building holding a Whopper! The Frankenstein Haunted House had something like that too. Grab your cameras!) and Hard Rock Cafe, a couple of museums including a Ripley's and Wax museum, Mini Golf, tons of Souvenir Shops, a Family Fun House, an IMAX Theater, a Coaster Simulator, Arcades etc etc.
So when you're on vacation to Canada or the Falls, be sure to have this place on the to-do list. You can stay here the whole day, at night, whatever! Great fun for the whole family.
Just have fun, enjoy yourselves, and bring a camera with you! You'll want to cherish your moments with Clifton Hill (and the Falls of course!) forever.
P.S. Check out the site for details on the amusements I mentioned above.

Lets face it after spending the day taking pictures of the Falls, the only thing left to do is go Clifton Hills do some shopping for soveniers, go for the fortune wheel, play some mini golf, and eat.
Remember, Niagara Falls is a 24 hours or less destination. -

Clifton Hill is a mixed review especially when I'm mixed about it myself. Many many... many years ago as a visitor brought to Niagara Falls, I found this district to be so fun especially with some friends taking photos everywhere and it was a great summer experience that was very memorable from the Ripley's to Tower Ride to Guinness World Records Museum(Everyone took photos here).
Fastforward, coming back for the umpteenth time it does lose the attraction and does get old on you but still bringing out-of-town friends to see this and see their photo-happy face light up makes this place A-OK. Still has the power to provide good memories although avoiding all the cheesy Museums, Haunted Houses, Rainforest Cafes, Wendy's at all cost.
I suggest bring young ones or first-time Niagara photo-happy friends here but if you bring others more adapted to this environment already, then just stay at the Casinos all night and eat buffets and watch shows there instead.Listed in: 24 (Niagara version)

This short stretch of street, which is actually on a hill, has much to offer. There's something for everyone. The energy, lights and color of Clifton Hill looks like Las Vegas, Walt Disney World, and New York City combined, Lots of shopping, amusements, eating places and even a night club.
There are many chain restaurants along this street, such as Ruby Tuesday and Burger King, but the outdoor designs and decor are more interesting and camera saavy to look at. For example, the Burger King store has a huge gorilla holding up a huge Whopper sandwich!
Clifton Hill is touristy and may be too flashy for some, but its a nice break from the Falls and provides many different indoor options. I wish there were more independent restaurants rather than so many chains. At least this place is an attempt to make the Niagara Falls area more exciting and fun than it is. I wish Niagara Falls, New York would come up with a similar concept.
Be sure to visit their website for details.
The only downside- daffy tourists who are rude, have no manners and no sense of American and Canadian culture. Then again, many American and Canadian tourists were the same way. Don't let these bastards ruin your day. I didn't.Listed in: Niagara Falls, USA and Canada

I had to come to Niagara Falls on business. I walked around a little the first night I was here. Here is my impression of Clifton Hill...
Imagine if Las Vegas and Times Square had a baby and that baby puked, the puke would be Clifton Hill. It's gaudy, full of toursit trap restaurants and bad chain restaurants (TGIFridays for example) and it's just awful.
Maybe if you have kids or have never been to Las Vegas or Times Square, you would think this was rad, but I've been to Vegas and lived in NYC and this place is just trying too hard and failing miserably. -

I can maybe see the appeal if you got kids to check out this place. I thought it was a bit over-the-top when we went there. The whole place is geared towards tourists with wax sculptures, cheesy games, and overpriced shops. Parking here is also really expensive so I would suggest walking or taking a bus if you really got nothing else to do.
