From the Niagara Falls Review: Half a people mover might be better than none. After 10 years of trying to develop a mass-transit system to shuttle people through the busiest tourist areas, city council will consider going ahead with the just the top portion of what was originally to be a 10-kilometre loop between Bender…
This past Tuesday the IMAX Theatre in Niagara Falls had a “hospitality” night. I was able to go with my two sons to see the film Dinosaurs: Giants of Patagonia. The theatre of course will still be showing the Niagara Falls IMAX film a dozen times a day, but there are a few showings of…

I recently came across an old TravBuddy post from almost 2 years ago: There are additional pictures from random Niagara Falls visits including one long weekend where we went there for the day. I don’t have Canadian holidays off because of my work (oh the irony) so when the usually crowds head out of the…

You can subscribe to the newsletter by clicking on the Special Email Offers link on the side of the Marriott Niagara Falls Fallsview & Spa…
I’m sure we’ve all seen some tacky, useless, or otherwise dumb souvenirs in our time. The manager of the Canada Trading Company was getting rid of some samples she had received and she gave them to me.
