Clifton Hill, Entertainment district in Niagara Falls, Canada
Clifton Hill is an entertainment street in Niagara Falls that climbs a steep slope and is packed with attractions including a giant observation wheel, museums, and dining venues of all kinds. The whole route is filled with leisure and amusement offerings spread across several blocks.
The street transformed from a residential neighborhood in the early 1900s into a major entertainment hub, driven by the growing numbers of people visiting Niagara Falls. This shift happened as tourism in the region expanded and gained momentum.
The district reflects how North American travelers enjoy spending leisure time, with wax museums and miniature golf that show what entertainment people have found fun for generations. Walking through it, you see these tastes in physical form, displayed along the sloped street.
Wear sturdy shoes because the street has a steep slope and many rises as you move along it. Plan for extra time here since there is a lot to explore and see at each stop.
Here you find one of North America's rare go-kart tracks that rises high above ground, running three stories up from street level. This elevated racing course gives drivers an unusual view while racing.
