This is a drastic difference from Summer rates and holiday weekend rates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cliftonhill.com\/niagara-falls-hotels\/clifton-hill-area\">Clifton Hill area hotels<\/a>&nbsp;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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-no-need-to-travel-far-everything-is-within-a-block-to-the-falls\">No Need To Travel Far, Everything is Within a Block to the Falls <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cliftonhill.com\/falls_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/aerialmap1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1366\" height=\"771\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cliftonhill.com\/falls_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/aerialmap1-1366x771.jpg\" alt=\"Niagara Falls Aerial View\" class=\"wp-image-33956\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cliftonhill.com\/tickets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>FIND TICKETS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you face&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cliftonhill.com\/explore\/plan-trip\/niagara-weather\">temperatures in <\/a>Winter&nbsp;that dip well below the freezing mark, the last thing that you want to do is travel long distances.

All of our attractions are located on one spot &#8212; on Clifton Hill!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will not need to travel via car or bus between these facilities, thus causing you to spend more money that you didn&#8217;t plan on spending.

When it gets cold enough, the miniature glaciers and long icicles that form are truly a photographers dream. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cliftonhill.com\/falls_blog\/20-breathtaking-frozen-niagara-falls-photos\/\">Breathtaking Photos of Niagara Falls Frozen <\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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 &#8220;frozen&#8221; views (the Falls never <em>completely<\/em> 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.
