The 7 Wonders of Niagara Falls

See All Lists
A select list of some of my favorite local attractions (and perhaps some to avoid).

 1. Niagara Falls

Niagara St & Rainbow Blvd S
Niagara Falls, NY 14302

I love Niagara Falls in all of it's touristy glory. Have to admit though, the evening lights were not as impressive as the postcards make it out to be (there is definitely some Photoshopping involved). The fireworks were a nice touch but also random.…More »

 2. Niagara Parks Floral Clock

The clock was inspired by then Ontario Hydro chairman, Dr. Richard L. Hearn and was based on the famous clock built in Princess Street Gardens in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1903. The clock is the largest type of its kind in the world. It is three times…More »

This was not the spa experience I was looking for.

Sure they gave use trash bags to wear over our clothes, but I had no idea I was going to get a dousing. I felt like I was going through a human car wash!

That said I loved it. It was a ton of fun and…More »

 4. Table Rock

Niagara Falls, ON L2G 6W8

Table Rock boasts a lot of history. In it's current state it has the best bird's eye view of the falls and a lot of tourist souvenir shopping. This is also home to the Journey Behind the Falls and Niagara's Fury.

No trip to Niagara would be complete…More »

This was well worth the experience. The actual "behind the falls" is quite silly because it's just a mess of mist and white. The area where you can walk out, sort of beside the falls, rather than behind them, is an excellent close up view though!

We happened upon this hotel after searching for hotels with a view of the falls. Let me tell you straight up that all those hotels are way overpriced. Four Points was about $70 a night. We didn't have a full view, but we had a view of the falls from…More »

 7. Skylon Tower

5200 Robinson St
Niagara Falls, ON L2G 2A3
Canada

I've always wanted to eat in a revolving tower. Alas, I missed my chance again. We just went to the top for the view as part of a larger city tour. The view was great and we got some nice photos.

Note: there is a squished penny machine at the top!

 8. Niagara's Fury

6450 Niagara Parkway
Niagara Falls, ON L2E
Canada

3.0 star rating
  6/17/2010

We got tickets to this attraction as part of a larger tour. I thought it was cheesy but some of our party enjoyed it (no kids in our group). Kids may like it because there is a movie and water which splashes on you. As for educational? Meh...

I enjoy gambling, but if you've seen one you've seen 'em all. They have a War table, which is just about all I can handle. I made some money and jetted. I didn't go to the newer Fallsview, but my parents did and they said it was beautiful inside.…More »
