From the Niagara Falls Review:
Ask not for whom the bell tolls … it tolls for Niagara.
The Rainbow Tower, the 165-foot (50.3 metre) tall monolith at the Canadian terminal of the Rainbow Bridge, is home to a unique musical instrument that many have heard, but few know about.
The Rainbow Carillon, a keyboard-type instrument, rings out four times a day, 365 days a year.
Made up of 55 bells that tip the scales at a whopping 43 tons, the carillon has been entertaining residents and tourists for the past 58 years.

I am planning a trip to Niagara Falls in mid January. Anyone give any tips on what if anything there is to do around that time? I know the light festival will be over.
Greg, I’m not aware of anything special happening during the month. It seems that in the winter the casinos are the big draw.
But overall, you should be able to get some good room rates or a great stay & play package that will get you admission into several attractions.
There is an annual Ice Wine Festival put on by the same organization that hosts the Niagara Wine Festival held each fall.
January 19-28 are the dates for the Ice Wine Festival next year.
