As Fallsview mentioned in a previous comment, the large parking lot on Clark Ave appears to be run (and probably owned) by the Fallsview Casino. I’ve never seen more than 1 or 2 cars in the lot at the same time. There doesn’t seem to be a way to pay going in, so perhaps it…
From the Toronto Star: Let’s start with a simple admission: Nobody comes here for the food. It’s such a massive short-term tourist destination that every restaurant and fast-food chain known to man has at least one outlet there. But if you’re careful, you can actually navigate your way through a series of more-than-pleasant meals. (You’ll…
Here is another blog entry by someone named Beth who lives in Illinois: We went across the Rainbow Bridge to Canada and then had to go through customs, which turned out to be not a big deal at all. We only had to show our driver’s licenses and the girls’ birth certs. We first headed…
From the Niagara Falls Review: The number of passenger vehicles crossing Niagara-area bridges is falling. Year-to-date figures for the Rainbow Bridge show a 7.75-per cent decline in passenger traffic, compared to the same period in 2006.

They are promoting packages with “luxury accommodations and amenities.” You can subscribe to the newsletter by clicking on the Special Email Offers link on the side of the Marriott Niagara…
From Niagara This Week: A new coin featuring a photographic hologram of the horseshoe falls is being called a spectacular tribute to the city’s world-famous cataract by Mayor Ted Salci. “It’s unique. I think it will be a collector’s item,” said Salci, who bought four coins to give out as gifts after he was presented…
From Niagara This Week: The Niagara Parks Commission said it will consider a proposal from wire walker Jay Cochrane to walk a tightrope over Niagara Falls, but it wants to see a full business plan first. Cochrane, renowned for his wire walks, is in the city this summer performing wire walks daily near the Skylon…
From the Columbus Dispatch (originally from the Detroit Free Press): The first sight of Niagara Falls is unforgettable. But the second, third or fourth can be just as memorable. That’s because there’s more than one way to see water fall. Here are 10.
