Looking for a mini getaway? Here are a few reasons to come for a little vacation right now on Clifton Hill, in Niagara Falls.
Yes, even in the depths of winter, Clifton Hill is the ideal location for a weekend escape. To help you plan the best trip and make the most of it, check over this list of the top reasons for why Clifton Hill is ideal to visit in the winter. Get your camera apps updated and get your warm winter gear going!
Take a look around and you will find that in the Winter you can get a hotel room mid-week near Clifton Hill from as low as $55 per night. This is a drastic difference from Summer rates and holiday weekend rates.
Clifton Hill area hotels are close to all the action and excitement of Clifton Hill and the Niagara Parks attractions, and also only steps away from viewing the splendor of the Niagara Falls.
No Need To Travel Far, Everything is Within a Block to the Falls
When you face temperatures in Winter that dip well below the freezing mark, the last thing that you want to do is travel long distances. This is why the Clifton Hill Fun Pass is your ticket to fun and convenience. All of our attractions are located on one spot — on Clifton Hill!
You will not need to travel via car or bus between these facilities, thus causing you to spend more money that you didn’t plan on spending. Everything is located in one central spot. Have fun and snap away as well — we also have WiFi to add to your experience at these attractions.
You Are Just Steps Away from the Best Winter Views
People flock from all over the world just to catch a glimpse of the Falls in a Winter Wonderland of white beauty. When it gets cold enough, the miniature glaciers and long icicles that form are truly a photographers dream.
The flow of water that tumbles over the American Falls is much less than the flow of water that cascades over the Horseshoe Falls, so your most “frozen” views (the Falls never completely freeze) would be taken from here. Conveniently, the American Falls and the adjoining Bridal Veil Falls, are located directly at the bottom of Clifton Hill, whereas the Horseshoe Falls are still approximately a 5-10 minute walk down the Niagara Parkway. Don’t miss the Niagara Falls illuminations in the evening, and if you are lucky enough, when it’s really cold you’ll have the best view of the ice bridge from this standpoint!
During the Summer, the Niagara Falls is full of crowds. The warm weather, frequent nightly fireworks shows, and the Niagara Speedway draw thousands of tourists. The Winter however, is a quieter time, and with the exception of a few attractions, the majority of Niagara’s attractions are still open, and this includes our Clifton Hill attractions such as the Niagara SkyWheel (which is heated and enclosed).
You will encounter very little wait times (if any at all) at our attractions and dining facilities. Along the Niagara Parkway there will also be far less crowds to contend with while taking your photo opportunities!
Reading Time: 5minutes -Here’s the scoop on how to get the best out of your time with the family on Clifton Hill with a few insider tips to make your Niagara Falls vacation the best time ever!
Know the Best Time to Dine
Generally, the busiest times to dine during the Spring and Summer months is between 8:00 – 9:00 pm, and between 7:00 – 8:00 pm for the Fall and Winter. Our busiest season is the Summer, from the time that kids get out of school in June until the Labour Day weekend. The primary reason why our restaurants fill up at these times is due to the Niagara Falls Fireworks shows, which is one of this industry’s biggest draws to the city of Niagara. The showtimes are at 10:00 pm during the Summer, and at 9:00 pm during the Fall and Winter. Travelers prefer to dine approximately two hours before the shows begin so belly’s are full in time for the grand spectacles in the sky.
Clifton Hill is a massive tourism draw for our international guests and overseas group excursions. With this in mind, many people arrive in large groups which could result in longer wait times to be seated should you come at the height of the dinnertime hour. Both the Boston Pizza and KELSEYS Original Roadhouse come equipped with a pager system should you have to wait for a table; and be aware that reservations are not made at many of these establishments (pre-planned large group bookings aside), so timing is everything.
*If you wish to book a large group for parties and special functions, you may call ahead to check for availability with our Group Sales Department at 1-800-801-8557 or fill out an online inquiry here.
Best Time to Avoid Crowds on Clifton Hill
It goes without saying that when traveling to Clifton Hill in the Summer and many Holiday weekends, you should expect crowds. Once mid-April hits (or before, should the ice boom in the Niagara River be removed earlier), all the attractions will be open and running including the Hornblower Niagara Cruises and the MistRider Zipline to the Falls. Clifton Hill’s attractions run year round (with the exception of outdoor miniature golf), but with the introduction of these two seasonal tourist attractions, Clifton Hill becomes a family magnet. Hiking the gorge is at its height, Niagara-on-the-Lake is flourishing with fruit stands and outdoor patios, and events and festivals throughout the region are abound.
If you can manage a getaway prior to late June, that is the prime time to travel here to avoid the peak season, and save some money along the way. Mid-week from September to March is fantastic because prices are lower for hotel accommodations. In September the weather is still warm, the boats are still on the water, both portals remain open at the Journey Behind the Falls, and kids aren’t too deep into their schoolwork yet. As long as you don’t mind large groups of school kids during the day, May to June can be heavy with end of the year school trip bookings at our attractions (see here for our current school group package for the curious minds).
When referring to hitting up the attractions at the least busy times, Clifton Hill is less crowded in the mornings, as many guests are still waking up or just arriving to their hotel destinations. On days that feature the Niagara Falls Fireworks shows, many guests have the desire to try and catch the show from the Niagara SkyWheel. If this is the case, remember that you are not the only one with the same idea. The SkyWheeldoes not take reservations, so if the wish is to be on the ride when the fireworks go off, arrive approximately 20 minutes to a half hour before the show (even earlier on Holiday weekends).
Try to do most of the Niagara Falls attractions before the fireworks shows, as once they are over, the crowds conjure up the Hill at approximately the same time. These people are ready to continue on with the fun at the same time that you are, meaning the potential of longer line-ups in likely.
The Niagara SkyWheel has a standard fee of $11.99 for Adults and $6.99 for Children (plus HST) no matter the time of day, season, etc. Refer to the Niagara Falls Illumination schedule prior to an evening jaunt on the big wheel in the sky. The SkyWheel provides incredible views of the Niagara Falls and the entire Niagara skyline, but for the best photos be sure to ride within the allotted illumination times. Remember, the sky is dark by 5:00 pm in the Winter, so if you come during that time of the year, refer to the illumination chart highlighted above or simply ask a cashier working there when the lights go on and off.
Without a doubt, the Clifton Hill Fun Pass is the best deal for to get more bang for your buck when doing an abundance of attractions. At an incredible savings, you’ll get 6 of our most popular attractions for only $29.95 for Adults and $19.95 for Children (+HST). During the late Fall and Winter (minus the Christmas season) some attractions can open a little later than the Summer hours of 9:00-10:00 am. If you bought the Fun Pass and you do not finish all the attractions in one day, you have one year from the date of purchase to do so. Hold on to your cards for a future visit.
A huge benefit of the Clifton Hill Fun Pass is the avoidance of line-ups. Your cards are VIP, meaning you head straight to the turnstiles and scan your way in without having to wait at any cashier stations.
Dinosaur Adventure Golf Course
As one of the nation’s largest miniature golf courses, Dinosaur Adventure Golf features two 18-hole courses that you choose from: “Raptor Run” and “T-Rex Trek” (for a total of 36 Holes). But what course should you choose? If your Niagara Falls vacation is family oriented and includes young children than the T-Rex Trek is for you. This course was made slightly easier, and kids will love the opportunity to play a hole inside the volcano — which only this one provides. The Raptor Run is for the competitive families or for the older family; it’s more challenging with trickier holes.
Scariest Haunted House
Clifton Hill has an obsession with haunted houses. Which should you choose? If you have young children, stick to the haunted houses directly on Clifton Hill. While they can be scary, they are manageable. These would be “the Haunted House”, “the House of Frankenstein”, and “Castle Dracula”. Looking to terrify yourself? Nightmares Fear Factory is the one for you! Are you brave enough to make it till the end? As I write this, 148,780 have chosen to “Chicken out”.
Niagara Falls Coupons
We have Clifton Hill coupons on our website available to print off ahead of your Niagara Falls vacation. These are for both attractions and dining savings. Forgot to print them off? No worries. You will find coupon books on site located in the Great Canadian Midway and our Tim Hortons location. If you park in our public parking lot (click here for information), you will receive a coupon book upon arrival full of amazing savings.

Reading Time: 5minutes -When visiting Niagara Falls on vacation, Charles Dickens once remarked “It would be harder for man to stand nearer to God than he does here”. Voted #1 by the National Geographic in the “Top 10 Things To Do in Ontario”, it is without a doubt the prime destination to travel to and cross off your bucket list. It is massive with the combination of three waterfalls, the “American Falls” at 183 feet and a crest of 830 feet, the “Horseshoe Falls” at 173 feet and a crest of 2200 feet and the “Bridal Veil Falls” at 181 feet with a crest of 56 feet. It is worth a vacation to Niagara Falls just to see how beautiful it is in person, but if you get tired of watching the Falls, there is so much more natural beauty and history to view. Head down to Whirlpool Park and wander around the gorge for starters and ride the Whirlpool Areo Car for a totally different appreciation of nature. Or visit Fort George for a history lesson and photos within the headquarters of the Britsh Army during the war of 1812! The “Street of Fun by the Falls”!
Of course, a vacation to Niagara Falls wouldn’t be complete without a visit to one of the most famous streets going, Clifton Hill! Like a bullseye, you will instantly recognize Clifton Hill by the massive 175 foot structure in the sky, the Niagara Skywheel. It overlooks the Niagara horizon and has been a staple in photos since its opening in 2006. This is a ‘must’ on your visit to Niagara Falls, along with a variety of other attractions catered to all ages — toddlers to seniors! The Clifton Hill Fun Pass is just the package to purchase when ready to take on the excitement on Clifton Hill. The Niagara Skywheel, the all-new Dinosaur Adventure Golfor Galaxy Golf, Movieland Wax Museum of the Stars, Ghostblasters Dark Ride, a six-dimensional thrill ride called the XD Ride Theatre and 5 tokens as an added bonus to try your luck at any one of the over 300 Midway games in the Great Canadian Midway! This Niagara Falls attraction package is completely inexpensive at only $25.95+tax for Adults and $19.95+tax for Children.
Besides the attractions, let’s talk about the dining. Clifton Hill itself only takes perhaps 10 minutes to walk from the base of the street at the Niagara Parkway (River Road), to the top of the street at Victoria Avenue, in which it then turns into Centre Street — and seconds away from the Greg Frewin Theatre. Options are vast within that 10 minute walk for something to eat, from Hot Dogs, Beavertails and ice cream stands, to Wendy’s, Tim Horton’s and Burger King, and restaurants such as Kelsey’s and Boston Pizza. This Boston Pizza in particular is geared to families and the theme of Clifton Hill’s “Street of Fun by the Falls” with it’s one-of-a-kind setting inside all the lights, sounds and gaming action of the Great Canadian Midway entertainment complex. The dining area is massive and contains two bars to cater to the convenience of faster service and to accomodate the diners that choose to eat their meals next to Strike Rock N Bowl , Boston Pizza’s only 10 pin, 14 lane full bowling alley within this Niagara Falls restaurant.
Don’t forget to stick around after hours, because your vacation doesn’t end at 5:00! Clifton Hill doesn’t roll up its carpet until super late (especially in the Summer months!), with most attractions opening at 9:00 am and not closing until 1:00-2:00 am. Experience different views from the Niagara Skywheel, or even with both feet on the ground when you take in all the amazing glitzy lights, volcano “eruptions” from Dinosaur Adventure Golf and laser shows from within some of Niagara’s best nightclubs that align the street, like Rumour’s Nightclub.
http://youtu.be/2a9OouqlUbE
You are guaranteed to have so much fun on your vacation you won’t want to go home…so why leave? Relax and have a few drinks at Rumour’s Nightclub knowing that just steps away is the Clifton Hill Niagara Falls Hotel. You can’t beat the location! This Niagara Falls Hotel is right in the heart of the tourism district on Clifton Hill. Just outside the doors is the Niagara Skywheel and attached to the hotel is Kelsey’s Clifton Hill — you don’t even need to step foot outside for inexpensive, family dining! Just one block to the Niagara Falls, it’s easy and convenient to get from one major attraction to the next. The room rates beat top competitors and include access to its tropical indoor swimming pool and free breakfast onsite at the Poolside Cafe. Take advantage of the many package deals to choose from like top notch savings of up to 70% in the Build-A-Package campaign or the Niagara Falls Family Fun Package.
There is an abundance of things to do in Niagara Falls on your vacation, all central to your stay at the Clifton Hill Niagara Falls Hotel, but if you choose to leave this area for the day, head to the gorgeous setting of Niagara-on-the-Lake and visit any number of their wineries for a tasting and tour, which coincedentally is also offered as part of a package within your hotel stay at this Comfort Inn. Click here for details.
On the outskirts of Niagara Falls is the home of Safari Niagara in Stevensville, just a 10 minute drive away. Its the ultimate summer fun destination for people of all ages and abilities. The park is completely interactive with educational animal presentations, guided tours, animal feedings and a petting farm. Admission is all-inclusive*, providing unlimited use of the ropes course, bungee, safari rides, splash pad, fishing, kite flying, paddle boats and more. New attractions include White Lions, a White Rhinoceros Exhibit, an Interactive Reptile Exhibit and a Free Flight Budgie Experience. Safari Niagara’s Amphitheatre offers an annual summer concert series featuring popular international recording artists.
Without a doubt, Niagara Falls is the ultimate fun vacation, and not just for honeymooners! The best part? We want to give you a chance to try it out! Here is your chance to win:
*A two night stay at the Comfort Inn Clifton Hill which includes: two night’s accomodation, deluxe breakfast each morning, use of its indoor pool and giant whirlpool, complimentary on-site parking.

You blink and it’s here. March Break. Parents without a March Break plan face the possibility of spending their own hard-earned holidays ensuring the family isn’t bored – or worse – testing each other’s patience for an entire week. We’ve all been there before, booking a last minute getaway with the best intentions, only to have its foundation crumble before your eyes because you never took into account last minute details that you should have tweaked beforehand. Whether it be financial savings, or preparing for any injuries that quite possibly, and with all probability with a little one, may occur. Suddenly your vacation starts to unravel and you feel totally incompetent because its the little things that can really make or break your vacation and could have easily been avoided.
With March Break only a couple of weeks away, booking a last-minute getaway so the whole family can unwind isn’t as impossible as it may sound. The perfect destination can still be found for all types of families and budgets. From getting the best possible deal to ensuring the family stays safe, here are some helpful…and quite often, overlooked tips. There ARE last minute getaway options for families, not just couples without children.
Many hotels often offer package savings that you won’t necessarily be aware of unless you do research beforehand. Be your own Private Investigator. If there is a certain hotel chain that you are fond of, check out their website, subscribe to their newsletter, read their blog postings or even become a “fan” of their social media pages. You will find that many hotel chains advertise through this route and have monthly and even weekly special savings…maybe even contest giveaways!…that can greatly benefit you in the long run. As an example, the Comfort Inn Clifton Hill in Niagara Falls offers all the above in their website and continuously sustains many special offers and package deals year round. https://www.cliftonhill.com/niagara-falls-packages and follow them socially on Facebook “Comfort Inn Clifton Hill: Niagara Falls Hotel and Resort” and/or on Twitter “@cliftonhillfun” and “@Niagara_Hotel”.
Since travelling with the whole clan can get pricey – vacationers need to start saving even before going on holiday. Consider a pre-packaged vacation that includes meals, which limits the need to spend more money while on holiday. The Comfort Inn always offers a complimentary breakfast with your stay, ensuring cost-effective savings on your most important meal of the day! Most establishments in tourist destinations will charge you an obscene amount of money to crack open an egg and fry some bacon…and if you have a family of four, consider that a savings of close to, if not more, than $60. Navigate your way through their website and you will find additional package savings complete with meal vouchers at family friendly establishments such as Kelsey’s and Boston Pizza! https://www.cliftonhill.com/niagara-falls-restaurants Alleviate boredom!
From destination activities like theme parks, water parks and museums for the kids to shopping, tours and golf outings for the parents, you need to ensure a memorable and lively holiday. For families who prefer to stay on a resort than venture off property, a hotel with an indoor pool or games room could help offset a rainy day when the kids are forced to stay indoors. For everyone else, look to book with a hotel that is affiliated with or offers significant savings with many local attractions that you can ALL enjoy. If you are looking to book a trip to Niagara Falls, the Comfort Inn Clifton Hill offers just that…attraction savings off property such as the Greg Frewin Magic Show and the Niagara Helicopter Tours to hitting up five side-by-side attractions just a mere couple of minutes from each other with the Clifton Hill Fun Pass!

This one I can’t emphasize enough. Years ago when my husband moved back to Ontario from British Columbia with a few of his closest friends, he literally brought his entire wardrobe with him in one shot with the false understanding that he would be under the baggage weight. He was wrong. There he was, 15 minutes until boarding time throwing away sweaters, shoes and a few pairs of jeans all in the name of being under the required weight. If you have children, you know that traveling light is not an option. Make sure that you evenly distribute luggage weight. If you are 10 lbs over and your spouse is 10 lbs under in baggage weight…you know what to do. Transfer items from your suitcase to the other! And let’s be honest, it’s usually us women that carry all the “extras”…think curling irons, makeup, five different pairs of shoes “just in case” you find a need to finally wear those stilettos. You get the point. Make sure you check with your airline ahead of time regarding stroller and childseat guidelines as well. You don’t want any last minute surprises. Share the excitement
Encourage kids of all ages to document their experiences with photos or diary entries. Nominating them as the ‘official family photographer’ will not only keep them busy, but memories captured can then be shared on social media sites or in photo albums or framed pictures that can be hung in your home…and remember to have them tag their memories with the hotel or attraction of their choosing as well! They will appreciate the feedback and the response will ignite a sense of importance in your children as well. It’s a win-win. Stay safe
Travelling is inherently risky, so the wise vacationer will take preventative precautions, including visiting a travel clinic that can set them up with prescriptions and antibiotics ahead of time. It’s always a good idea to have the whole family visit the doctor before you go, that way you can tackle ahead of time any preventative measures needed to avoid a potentially disastrous trip. When you check-in at the hotel, don’t be afraid to ask where the closest hospital is located, and if needed, have them supply you with a map. You may not think this will be necessary, but usually when you are on vacation you drink more and this will lower your inhibitions. That stair you so easily stepped up when you checked in may be a bomb waiting to detonate after a few alcoholic beverages. Also, carry a first aid kit with you. Bandaids, gauze, tweezers, whatever. You never know when you may need them. Stay safe and have fun!
Wherever you decide to go during your March Break getaway, follow these tips for a successful, stress-free, family FUN vacation! Enjoy and stay safe :).

The History Behind the Moment
“This is not a stunt, this is me performing an art I’ve devoted my life to.”
These are the words from Nik Wallenda when compared to daredevils, and stuntmen! Over the past year Wallenda and his managers waged an intense lobbying campaign on the U.S. and Canadian side of the border in which they’ve sold their vision of a spectacular event with Niagara Falls setting the stage.
The date is now in stone (weather permitting), Niagara Falls and millions of people across the world are now looking forward to FridayJune 15th. This is the day Nik Wallenda will be attempting to walk over Niagara Falls on a high wire!
It was no easy road for Nik Wallenda to get to this point. He has had to jump through numerous hoops to make this happen, but with determination and preparation Wallenda was granted permission to take to the skies of Niagara Falls June 15th. The walk is expected to bring well over a hundred thousand tourists to the Niagara area wanting to witness first hand a moment in history. 16 ropewalkers have crossed the falls, and only one has perished. With his skill and years of perfecting it (Wallenda has been on a practice wire since the age of 2) crossing the falls on June 15th will mean he has finally accomplished a lifelong goal that started with his grandfather Karl Wallenda. A historical Wallenda stunt, the 7 man pyramid!
Many critics have judged Wallenda for what he is about to do, stating it’s crazy, it puts other lives at risk, and make claims he must have a death wish. When speaking to reporters about this recently Nik says, “we have our own rescue team, and a 20 million dollar insurance policy we have never had to use.” “I don’t have a death wish, I have a daughter, two sons, and my wife who I want to be here for.”
Even though Nik says he is more than prepared it doesn’t stop a mother from worrying Delilah Wallenda reflected on Nik’s goal saying, “My Stomach will be queasy!” “I know when he’s okay, and I know when there is a problem. But I also know his ability. He can do it!”
With just over a month to go before the walk hotels are busy taking bookings to accommodate the many people who will flood the falls for the event. If you haven’t booked yet, it would be a good idea to do it soon or you may be out of luck when it comes to finding a place to stay. Notice in the ariel view picture below the Clifton Hill Niagara Falls Hotel is right in the middle of all the action!
If you have booked your hotel already, well great first step done! Good for you now comes the planning part. It can get a little hectic setting up a weekend getaway to see such an exciting event. The easy part is knowing what you’re going to be doing June 15th, but whether you’re down for just the day or the weekend, you are going to need something to keep you busy before the 9pm start time. We don’t think that should be a problem.
Check out the recent video of Nik crossing Inner Harbour, follow our blog for part two of this series https://www.cliftonhill.com/falls_blog/

Since Ryan has been a little hard-working man so much we decided to take a family trip to Niagara Falls & Toronto. We are so glad that we did- it was great to bond as a family and enjoy my hubs. Niagara Falls was only three in a half hours away so we were able to get there relatively fast. We started off the day doing the beloved “Maid of the Mist” adventure. We were told it is a “must” and they were right. We had a blast! It is a ferry that takes you up close to the Falls- to both Canadian and American Falls. You get sprayed with water and get to see a breath-taking view. We can definitely see why it is called one of The Seven Wonders of the World. I have always wanted to go to Niagara Falls- so I am glad that the hubs took the time off to spend with the fam. It was a much needed and fun vaca! (more…)
