There are lots of different magazines, leaflets, pamphlets, and maps that are offered free to visitors. Almost all of them are made up entirely of ads and coupons. (getting off track for a bit, don’t get me started about the whole coupon thing… coupons are everywhere and hardly anyone pays full price… let’s save some trees and eliminate the coupons and just lower the price by the $1 that the coupon is for… ok, back on track now…)

One of the better ones out there is Key to Niagara Magazine. It is approximately 5″x7″ and actually has useful information. It isn’t really a coupon book as there are only a couple of ads that have a coupon. The magazine is published by Osprey Media, the same publisher as the Niagara Falls Review. There are many short articles, details of various events, and of course ads for surrounding hotels and attractions.

Below is the Summer 2007 issue. Be sure to pick one up as you are out and around.

Here is a blog posting from someone who came to Niagara Falls to celebrate their 4th anniversary:

Last Thursday, the wife and I celebrated our fourth anniversary in Niagara Falls, Canada…

We stayed at the Ramada Fallsview, which is at the top of the Konica - Minolta Tower. The tower is just south of the Skylon tower. So we got to the hotel and we expected a city-view room. For some reason we got upgraded. We had a room on the 28th floor overlooking the beautiful Horseshoe Falls. Much of the first day involved me looking out the window and staring at the falls. To this day I am unsure on how we got the room but I am not going to complain.

From GOLFmagic:

A Canadian entrepreneur is hoping to set up a contest in which the world’s longest drivers try to smash a golf ball over the Niagara River at the world famous Horseshoe Falls.

Gary Nickerson, a 61-year-old who claims he can hit a ball over 300 yards, aims to gather the world’s best strikers to attempt the feat for the chance to claim a huge cash bonus and raise money for charity.

Double major champion John Daly attempted the feat in April 2005 as part of a publicity stunt to promote the nearby Thundering Waters golf resort but narrowly failed.
