~Niagara Falls Experience/Review~

Niagara Falls is a tourist attraction located in Ontario close to the United States boarder featuring two famous waterfalls- one Canadian and the other American. There are other attractions in the Niagara area too- it’s like a tiny Los Vegas for the family! Besides the waterfalls- other attractions are the: Bird Kingdom, Rock Legend Wax Museum, Fireworks, Casino, Ripley’s Believe It Or Not, Moving Theater, Indoor Water Park, Arcade; just to name a few. This small city has one of a kind architect with building sized characters on the entrainment/ restaurant/ theater structures accompanied by music and lights throughout. Booking a vacation here would leave no regrets- it is accessible to everyone from any income status and/ or demographics.

There are plenty hotels/ motels to rest your head in Niagara Falls area. There is your typical Holiday Inn with many comforting accommodations to suite your needs and there are independent Hotels at a lower cost. Continuing, attractions are the same regarding cost, some are free and others have higher rates. Lots of choices for food too, there are: fast food, cultural dinning, Planet Rock, and fancy restaurants. “Nightlife” is there but a little harder to find- places to look for are: the Hard Rock Café, Roomer’s Nightclub, and Yank’s Bar. Meeting new people is likely while you join in the fun!

Since this is a tourist attraction with many “first timers”, “repeat visitors”, and “locals” together- learning new things is almost guaranteed. Apparently the “locals” rarely come to attractions area and “come out late at night around 11pm- 12pm”- was a common statement made. There are “repeat visitors” their themes include: business trip, guys’ night out, honeymooners, and FUN EXPERIENCE. Lastly, the “first timers” who are the majority easily recognized by picture taking, video recording, asking for directions, asking for other (lol), and discussing “background” information (“where are you from”). A place to see Canadian’s and American’s get along and clash at the same time.

Intriguing aspect about coming here are the egos of people who come and visit Niagara Falls. Lots of questioning, pointing and even accusing going on related to “where I’m from” and “where you’re from”. Over all still a positive experience and a chance to communicate with those you may not otherwise. Niagara Falls makes for lifelong memories.

NOTE: A traveler’s tip is to stop at the Niagara Falls Information Centre first and grab: coupons, map, entertainment, and hotel recommendations.
