Niagara Falls Fun - Clifton Hill, Niagara Falls Canada

Planning for March Break
Have you started planning for March break this year? If not, go easy on yourself and arrange a getaway to Niagara Falls, Ontario where you can enjoy Clifton Hill’s world famous “Street of Fun” by the Falls and much more!

If you have young ones in your household, and they’ve worked hard during the school year, now is the time to let loose and reward them for all their efforts. Bringing your family to Niagara Falls will ensure a unique and exciting experience like no other.

Don’t Worry About the Weather
Although the winter weather can be unpredictable this time of year, it won’t damper your experience of Clifton Hill, as most of the attractions, restaurants and amusements are indoors. Clifton Hill’s Boston Pizza and Strike Rock N’ Bowl offers 25,000 sq ft of indoor fun, where you can enjoy a delicious meal and challenge friends or family to a wild game of bowling!

Another must-do attraction is the Niagara SkyWheel, which offers picturesque sights of the mighty Falls and Clifton Hill. This Giant Wheel offers climate-controlled gondolas keeping you warm and safe, as you soar 175 feet above the Falls for an unforgettable experience.

Exclusively open for March Break is Niagara’s newest attraction and Canada’s largest miniature golf course: Dinosaur Adventure Golf. This one acre attraction features two 18-hole courses, life-size dinosaurs, large waterfalls, rivers and a jungle like atmosphere. There is even an “active” flame-erupting volcano that goes off unexpectedly and allows golfers to play directly through its eerie, cavernous volcanic interior on their way to the next hole.

Also nearby is the Greg Frewin magic theatre, where the “international grand champion of magic” performs an unforgetable, high energy show, suitable for families and people of all ages!

This is just a small sample of the over 300 attractions and restaurants on Clifton Hill, where the possiblities are endles, as you explore all the fun!.
