Clifton Hill

Clifton Hill in Niagara Falls is a vibrant entertainment district located near the Niagara River. It serves as a major tourist hub, featuring a dense concentration of attractions including gift shops, wax museums, haunted houses, video arcades, and themed rides. The street is home to notable landmarks such as the Skylon Tower, which offers panoramic views, and Ripley’s Moving Theatre. The area is dominated by two primary property owners, the Harry Oakes Company and the Niagara Clifton Group, and has seen frequent changes in ownership and branding over the years.

Recent developments include the addition of new attractions, such as an extension of the Great Canadian Midway video arcade and a zombie-themed 4D ride, following the demolition of older structures like the Comfort Inn. The district offers a bundled ticket option known as the "FUN PASS," which provides access to six attractions, including the SkyWheel and Creepy Castle Ghost Blasters, at a discounted rate.

While the area is lively and colorful, it is distinct from the natural wonder of the falls themselves. Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities suitable for all ages, from go-karting at the Niagara Speedway to exploring haunted houses. The street is open to the public, though specific hours and admission fees vary by individual attraction. It is recommended to check the official website for current pricing and operating hours. Clifton Hill provides a contrasting experience to the natural landscape, focusing on amusement and entertainment.
