Cold Warm or Wet….Fun in Any Weather
Clifton Hill has a great reputation for being tons of fun in the spring/summer time. Although we have noticed more and more people realize with so many indoor attractions we have to offer, there is just as much activity during the winter months as well! In fact the only truly outdoor activity is our Dinosaur Adventure Golf. Even our popular SkyWheel has heated booths for you to enjoy the beauty of the falls during any season. Transformations Coming
Spring is just around the corner, and this also means changes along Clifton Hill. The Kelsey’s has been transformed and is more inviting and entertaining then ever! As well look for our newest attraction, The XD Theatre Ride, opening in early May.
So far we have been lucky to have decent weather in the Niagara Falls region. Should Mother Nature decide to give us a real winter treat we have you covered. Below we attached a link to have indoor winter fun with the family. http://fun.familyeducation.com/snow/activities/crafts/67650.html

The Maid of the Mist is a boat tour of Niagara Falls. (The actual boats used are each named Maid of the Mist, followed by a different Roman numeral in each case.) The boat starts off at a calm part of the Niagara River, near the Rainbow Bridge, and takes its passengers past the American and Bridal Veil Falls, then into the dense mist of spray inside the curve of the Horseshoe Falls, also known as the Canadian Falls. The tour is available starting from either the Canadian or American side of the river, returning to the starting point in each case.
Maid of the Mist is run by the Maid of the Mist Steamship Company of Niagara Falls, Ontario, but owned by the Glynn family of Lewiston, NY since 1971. Boats are registered in St. Catherines, Ontario.
The first Maid of the Mist was launched in 1846 as a ferry service between the Canadian and American sides, pre-dating by two years the construction of the first Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge at the site. However, with the opening of the suspension bridge, the ferry service lost business, and by 1854, became a tourist attraction instead with the launch of a more luxurious boat. The current captain of the Maid of the Mist is Captain Mark Keith of St. Catharines, Ontario.
