Clifton Hill

Clifton Hill, Niagara Falls · Niagara Falls, ON

Why you should go…

Love it or laugh at it, Clifton Hill is gloriously, unapologetically fun: giant Frankenstein burgers, dinosaur mini-golf, arcades, haunted houses and fudge shops stacked along one buzzing hillside street. It's free to wander and people-watch, and the whole strip glows like a carnival after dark. Bring the kids, or your inner kid.

Good to know

General attractions guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Book the time slot, not just the ticket

    Timed entry is now the norm at big-draw attractions, and online tickets are often cheaper than the gate.

  • Grab the daily schedule on arrival

    Feeding times, keeper talks, and shows run on a posted timetable that changes day to day.

  • The first hour is the quietest

    Queues build through late morning and peak after lunch, so an early start buys you the shortest waits.

  • Budget past the ticket price

    Parking, lockers, strollers, and food inside the gates are common extras worth planning for.
