One week ago my family headed out to check out the Ripley’s attractions in Niagara Falls. These include Louis Tussaud’s Waxworks, Ripley’s Moving Theater, and Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Odditorium. Our second stop was Ripley’s Moving Theater. Note: To view a few images from our trip, visit the 20160620 Trip to Ripley’s Moving Theater – Image…
Here is another neat map that I took a picture of a while ago. I love seeing these old maps so you can see how things have changed. The copyright on the map is from 1973, so it was from before I was born! You see references to the Niagara Aerocar, Marineland and Game Farm,…
From Stuff.co.nz: I’m looking up at movie heart-throb Robert Pattinson, star of the teen-vampire-romance Twilight films, but something’s not quite right. His face seems a little… off. I’m standing outside a waxwork museum and Pattinson’s likeness on the marquee, while recognisable, isn’t likely to challenge Madame Tussauds for uncanny accuracy. This is Clifton Hill on…
A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to go to the Criminals Hall of Fame on Victoria Ave at the top of Clifton Hill. I have been there before, but it has been many years since that visit, so I was looking forward to going again. The wax museum has been in the area…
Someone posted a very thorough write-up of their trip to Niagara Falls this past weekend: This weekend, I went to visit Buffalo and Niagara Falls. It has been a couple of years since I went to Buffalo, and many years since I’ve been to Clifton Hill and Niagara Falls. I think the last time I…
Someone with a Typepad blog posted about an upcoming trip to Niagara Falls (perhaps they’ve already been here): We are going to Niagara Falls, Ontario. We have booked into a hotel right on Clifton Hill, where it is like Las Vegas Jr. I look forward to taking my family on the Maid of the Mist,…
A month or two ago I took my family through Movieland Wax Museum of Stars. I’ve been many times before, including when it was located in the old building. Not much has changed over the years. Of course, there is a new set at the front (Pirates of the Caribbean), but I don’t think there…
In case anyone is interested, I’m a big fan of Oatmeal Crisp Triple Berry cereal. I love it! Feel free to send me boxes 🙂 Anyway, over the Spring, many of the General Mills cereal had information about a free admission (as you can see by the image above). For the longest time I just…

We are in heaven. -Spend a couple hours walking by the…
Someone with a Live Journal blog posted about a recent trip to Niagara Falls: Woke up Monday morning early and got ready for the day. Left Derek sleep a little longer while I got ready and then we left about 1030am to start our walk out to Clifton Hill. That’s the tourist area that we…
