A Clifton Hill Classic That Still Delivers the Fun…read more We hit up Wizard's Golf for a double date, but this spot is a childhood staple for all of us, it's been part of Clifton Hill for as long as we can remember. It's one of those classic mini-golf attractions that always brings out the fun and nostalgia. These days it's definitely a lot busier than it used to be, but despite the crowds, we still had a great time. The glow-in-the-dark wizarding theme is awesome, especially if you're into fantasy vibes. It's a perfect little stop during a Clifton Hill visit, whether you're a first-timer or you've been going since you were a kid like us. Still a fun time after all these years!

Came here with the Clifton Hill Fun Pass…read more The glow-in-the-dark theme is fun! But because of how dark it is, it's sometimes hard to see the hole. They do glow, but due to the angle, it's not always obvious. Tip: While waiting for your turn, scout out that hole. As someone who has never done mini golf before, I found the trick shots/mini-obstacles fun to attempt, even though they usually ended badly. There were lots of fun spots for photo opportunity (though we had to kindly ask people to give us space before taking any photos since the place was jam packed). Overall a fun experience. However, if you're in a hurry, I would skip this one. It was 33 degrees outside the day I went, so it was extremely packed. About 1.5 hours to get through all 18 holes.

I love dinosaurs. Like, LOVE love them. I've been obsessed with the creatures since I was four…read moreyears old, and that enjoyment has never gone away. The magic all flooded back when we stopped in Niagara Falls to look around while on a road trip from Toronto to Buffalo. When I saw Dinosaur Adventure Golf, I literally started screaming to go! In order to quiet me down, my hubby immediately bought a ticket for us to play two rounds of mini golf on each of the dino courses. This place is an absolute blast and an easy must-do if you're even remotely into dinosaurs. Everything is super well kept, clean, and clearly maintained, which makes the whole experience feel legit and not at all like a cheesy throwaway attraction. It's not cheap, but this mini-golf experience is worth every penny. I mean, DINOSAURS!!! There are two full 18 hole courses, each with a different theme. There's the T-Rex Trek and the Raptor Run, and both are rad in their own way. T-Rex is a bit more relaxed, while Raptor actually brings a real challenge for more experienced golfers (I say that very loosely). I'd recommend playing both courses for the best views of all the dinosaurs. A full round takes about an hour, unless you're super fast or a good putter. While the attraction was busy the day we visited, I never felt rushed or crowded. The theming is next-level, making this one of the very best roadside attractions I have ever visited. There are life sized dinosaurs everywhere you look, corny sound effects, rocky cavern terrain, and a 50 foot tall volcano that literally shoots fire. Not "pretend" fire. Actual flames. When it erupted with smoke and fire during my golf game, I was frozen in my tracks from sheer excitement! Guys, they have a VOLCANO. THAT ERUPTS WITH REAL FIRE! REAL. FIRE! Bonus points for the ticket value bundles that are for sale. You can pair this with other Clifton Hill tourist attractions and save a little money, which makes it an even better deal in a touristy area. There are wax museums and fun houses and carnival rides that are cheesy but also pretty awesome, so be sure to check out the discounts if you're going to make a day of it. Whether you're a hardcore dino nerd or just want a genuinely fun mini golf experience, Dinosaur Adventure Golf totally delivers. Fun, challenging, over-the-top, and way more memorable than it has any right to be.

Niagara Go-Karts is a family-friendly spot that is good for families, kids, and friends wanting to have a good time. It was a Wednesday afternoon and we practically had the track to ourselves. We bought 6 rounds and were able to get 3 rounds free. I recommend checking their website for deals like that so you don't miss out! We got situated in our F1 karts and were ready to roll. The highest speed is allegedly 45mph but I highly doubt I got even close to that despite going full throttle. It was also annoying to have to stop after every lap to hand off a ticket to track how many laps you've done so far. It's hard to race against your friends or get competitive when you're constantly having to stop right as you get comfortable with your speed. They should consider finding a better way to track that and it would also be fun if they had metrics on how fast each group was going and how well each individual races. Nonetheless, it was a fun activity and fairly cheap.

It has a breezy boardwalk vibe (think Coney Island or Jersey Shore without the beach), and we were lucky to catch the Asian Food and Culture Festival with live music and delicious dishes against the stunning Falls backdrop. Highlights include the SkyWheel, mini-golf, wax museum, haunted houses, and plenty of souvenir shops. On the flip side, parking can be pricey (up to $40), food is often overpriced, and it can feel a bit tacky at times--so plan accordingly. Perfect for a stimulating, relaxing afternoon, but probably not a whole-weekend destination. Definitely a tourist trap... but a charming one if you know what you're getting into.

So the base cost here at Fun Zone is the lowest as it still uses tokens and not game card swipes. There are 2 floor levels of arcade games, have to go down to the basement "yuk-yuk" level to see more games here, Each racing game cost about 3~4 tokens ($1.5 to $2 CDN) per play, which is slightly more expensive than adventure city's $1 per play, but less expensive than Great CDN midway's $2~$2.5 per play. Its midway style prize-ticket-giving games costs 1~4 tokens per play, mostly averaging about 3 tokens in cost. Overall it is pretty fun, good variety of arcade games here, although not the fanciest like the great CDN midway, but it is not the most expensive, and it remains the most classic and coin-friendly.

Other guests were nice and staff were helpful. The water park was perfect. There is nothing better than being inside in wonderfully warm water while watching a blizzard outside. The wave pool was the biggest hit with my 3 elementary age kids. Of course they were big fans of the water slides too. We actually spent way less time in the water park than I thought we would, and way more time doing Magi Quest which is a big interactive scavenger hunt. It wasn't really my thing, but it seemed like every parent was a part time Magi Quest coach, and the kids like it so that's what matters. (Here are my Magi Quest tips- actually read the Ancient Book of Wisdom and ask the fairy questions if you feel stuck.) The buffet food was totally decent. If you don't want to leave the lodge, it's probably worth it to get the inclusive meal tickets. There are a few other dining options on site, like a boba place, a pizza place, a restaurant, and a coffee shop. Prices were not exorbitant compared to other tourist places imo. There is one restaurant inside the water park which I would skip unless you really don't want to leave the water park. It was sort of movie theater type quality of food at the water park restaurant. Definitely get the Paw Pass; it was totally worth it. Oh my favorite thing about the resort were the bracelets which are waterproof and function as a room key and payment system- SO efficient. Now you don't have to worry about bringing your wallet everywhere, losing your room key, etc. More cruises and other resorts need to do this. Do bring a Sharpie so your kids stuff doesn't get all mixed up. Also, bring water bottles- there are fillup stations at restrooms. If you never want to leave the resort you don't have to. They have everything there. If you feel like a quick excursion, we did Dollarama for some souvenirs and snacks, the Mandarin for dinner, and a drive past the Falls at night so the kids could see the lights. We didn't request any housekeeping while we were there. There were plenty of towels, extra trash bags, pillow etc, so we just did our own and it was fine. Overall it felt like a cruise on land. We would definitely do it all again!

Couple things I did not enjoy was to pay for the locker and food at Canoe coffee shop. Their baked goods were dry and old. Coffee was pretty great though. Will definitely visit again next year.

There are lockers you can rent, prices vary depending on size and it's quite pricey in my opinion. There are tables and chairs inside the waterpark so you can consider just leaving your belongings there which many people do. One of the downside is they only have 2 showers in the women's changeroom - it was lucky that we didn't need to wait because we left earlier than the rest of the crowd before they close. For such a big waterpark they should consider having more showers available. But overall, my family and I had a great time and we would consider returning again.

It is a climate control so you won't be cold or hot depending on the day. The view is great but on a rainy day I couldn't get any great pictures of the falls even though we would see them. Great experience for anyone young or old. And you get to see all of clifton hill as well.
