The good, the bad, the ugly, the lessons learned from my "first time" at the Falls Region!

 1. Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls, ON L2E 3G4
Canada

4.0 star rating
  7/7/2009

Niagara Parks, which is on the Canadian side of the Niagara River, is a clean, well maintained, well landscaped area. Best of all, you get the BEST views of both the American and Canadian Falls- you're looking directly at both Falls.

Ive had high hopes for this place. Comfort Inn's website made this place sound better than winning eight figures in the lottery. I decided to go for it and make the reservations.

Finding this place was a real challenge for me and my UPDATED GPS.…More »

Good vanilla soft serve frozen yogurt on a cone. Strong vanilla taste and a texture which reminds me this is frozen yogurt and not soft serve ice cream. Very refreshing and good for you. My first time eating this brand of frozen yogurt and I like it!…More »

5.0 star rating
  7/7/2009 First to Review

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,…More »

Came here because it was close to the Skylon Tower, and I'm glad I did. For starters, I was allowed to bring my backpack into the casino because I didn't bring anything that wasn't allowed.

The casino has lots of slots, table games and video poker.…More »

My review is based on the observation deck. I didn't go to the restaurant.

Awesome views of the surrounding area, especially both the American and Canadian Falls and the Niagara River. Spend as much time as you want during operating hours. Don't…More »

Categories: Pizza, Italian

3.0 star rating
  7/7/2009

Antica is off the beaten path of Clifton Hill, but close enough for tourists to come here for lunch or dinner. And who can blame them?

The place looks great on the inside and outside, with Italian themed decor, which includes red and white checkered…More »

Category: Arcades

4.0 star rating
  7/7/2009 First to Review

300+ games of all kinds, an interior of lights and color and noises, and token machines which provide buckets to hold those tokens make this place look like a casino of arcade games. Except in this casino you don't win money. You win prizes!

A much needed break from all the walking around, the Niagara Skywheel allows you to sit in an enclosed air conditioned box with tinted windows. The wheel is 175 feet high, and the ride is three revolutions on the wheel, or about 10 minutes.

The last two days being my first visit to the Niagara Falls area, overall I really enjoyed myself. I should've done a little more homework before coming here, but its fair to say that Ive learned a lot from my mistakes.

For some reason I wasn't feeling it when I came here.

The casino looked good and you can use real money, and not any bull crap tokens, in the slot machines. Lots of action, even on a Sunday night in Western New York.

The big turn off came when I was…More »

It's a souvenir shop in a neat and clean and not too cramped way. I appreciate the cleanliness of the store, but to me a souvenir shop is loaded and jammed packed with crap. Even if its crap that I don't want or need, its one of those things I like…More »

This place being next door to the Misty Dog provides an opportunity for dessert or just wanting something cool on a warm day.

After walking what seemed like a dozen miles around Niagara State Park, New York, and burned off the big breakfast I ate earlier in the day, I was getting very hungry. I didn't want to drive anywhere-my car needed a break and I wanted to keep walking…More »

The place is small and doesn't have too much in terms of water life, though it does a pretty good job of scratching the surface. Be sure to check out the electric eel, the piranhas, Lake Erie exhibit, the sea lions, and the Magellan Penguins!

This was one of the best parts of the American side of the Falls!

After you pay the admission (11.00 for one adult as of this review) you are given a souvenir rain poncho and sandals. They give you a plastic shopping bag to carry your shoes in.
