Clifton Hill
Center of Entertainment and Fun



Clifton Hill is the main tourist and entertainment district, located in Niagara Falls, Canada, only 15-20 min. away from the gorges Niagara waterfalls.

Clifton H. street, Victoria Avenue, Bender St. and Falls Avenue makes the city block which was built to be a huge Entertainment complex.

Majority of the visitors, small man made attractions and fun, fast food restaurants and bars can be found in these few streets.

Since it can be very crowded there, and due to insufficient number of parking spaces, our recommendation is to visit Clifton complex, by walking. And you must go through it, just to say you have visited all Niagara Falls.

The most often scenario you will see down there is that people will spend hours admiring Niagara Falls and great scenery it offers, and make tons of pictures of Niagara Falls at the same time.

Next stop will be one of the great Niagara Falls Attractions, Journey Behind the Falls, located bellow Table Rock Center.
On your way toward the city, Maid of the Mist is next attraction you don't want to miss. And you will see why.

Once done there, you will start looking, either for a restaurant or entertainment. Right at the corner of Clifton Hill street and Falls Avenue, your exploration will start.

A trip to Clifton entertainment area does not require too much planning.
If you are looking for a family restaurant, either turn right on Falls Avenue, toward Planet Hollywood, or continue walking. Behind the Sheraton Niagara Falls is an amazing theme based family restaurant, Rainforest Cafe.

For music lovers, Hard Rock Cafe can be your choice and Hershey's store and Coca Cola store for treats. The old Casino Niagara Falls is located there also, in Falls Avenue.

The good thing is, there is something for everybody, where the youngest will enjoy the most. For families and teenagers, Clifton Hill is a major amusement area and center for nightlife. This is the reason why there are many motels and Inns around this area.

Since Niagara has so many places to see and visit in not that big area, this place is probably a leader of tourist attractions in Canada.
