Once you've visited this out-of-the-world attraction just a block from Casino Niagara, you'll never doubt the existence of aliens again. Not only will you find just about every alien creature conceivable; from Darth Vader to the Predator; but you'll actually have the opportunity to track an escaped one down. Or is it the other way around? And if alien-sighting whets your appetite, stop in at Planet Hollywood for a bite. Review © 2007, Wcities |
