All things Niagara Falls tourism…
Here is a blog posting by a family that visited Niagara Falls this past weekend:
And so to Niagara Falls. We parked at the top of Clifton Hill which is a sort of mini-Las Vegas; the thundering falls merely a backdrop for Planet Hollywood, Frankenstein’s Fear Factory and Louis Tussaud’s (second cousin once removed of the famous Madame) Waxworks. We bought a package to see the sights and because it was a wet Monday went straight into each of them.
From PR Web:
For the thousands of people who visit the Niagara Peninsula each year, the area is the perfect holiday destination because of the variety of things to see and do - from historical to adventurous to entertaining, Niagara Falls has something for everyone. But, with so much to choose from, it can be difficult to decide.
To make your vacation planning easier, here are the Top 10 things to see and do in Niagara on your next visit:
Last Thursday I received the latest newsletter from the Radisson Hotel & Suites Fallsview. They are promoting several different packages in September.
You can sign up for their newsletter on their web site.
From the Niagara Falls Review:
It can be heard above the roar of the falls, above the rushing traffic and even above the blaring music from nearby stores and restaurants.
For close to 60 years, the 55 bells at the Rainbow Tower Carillon have been playing tunes for tourists and locals.
Visit this site to see a very cool 360° panorama of Niagara Falls taken from the Niagara Falls, NY side.
Last Thursday I received the latest newsletter from the Great Wolf Lodge. They are promoting special rates for September. The rates get better as we get further away from the summer.

From the Niagara Falls Review:
Call it a buyers market. With a decline in tourism spending in recent years, that has many Niagara-area golf courses locked in a tug-of-war for local patrons, low prices and attractive package deals are the order of the day.
The competition is so fierce, some private owners say they don’t know what the future will bring for an industry that’s already heavy on the supply side if things don’t soon improve.
Given the current market conditions, it’s not surprising, perhaps, that a number of them are again questioning the pricing and marketing practices of the Niagara Parks Commission - a provincial government agency - which operates three golf facilities, including the top-rated Legends on the Niagara.
“Legends was built as a tourist destination,” says Michael Croft, owner of Links of Niagara at Willodell.
“I want (the parks commission) to stay out of my marketplace.”
From WSTM-TV:
Witnesses told State Parks Police that a man went over Niagara Falls yesterday afternoon.
They reported seeing a man, who appeared to be in his 40s or older, going over the Horseshoe Falls near Terrapin Point.
Lieutenant Peter Radwanski tells The Buffalo News this afternoon that nobody has been recovered.
I found another interesting site that talks about the Harry Oakes murder. The Crime & Investigation Network is a channel available in the UK and they have a section of their site that covers the events. The section is split up in the following smaller sections:
From the Buffalo News:
Twenty people scrambled to safety after an elevator malfunction left them stuck inside one of the yellow bug-like lifts near the top of the 520-foot Skylon Tower, the city’s tallest structure.
The elevator stopped at about 1:30 p.m. Tuesday between floors to the Summit Suite dining room and the observation deck, Lee Carr, the Skylon’s director of marketing, said Wednesday.
