Concert of lights |
7400 Portage Road Niagara Parks Commission Niagara Falls, ON L2E 6T2 Canada +1 905 371 0254 / +1 877 642 7275 http://www.niagaraparks.com |
If the thunder of the Falls isn't enough to stir the soul, then this display of lighting legerdemain should definitely do the trick. Operating on the auspices of the Niagara Parks Commission, the nightly illumination features 21 xenon lights with 18 in the Illumination Tower near the Queen Victoria Park area, and three opposite the American Falls. How bright are these lights? One spotlight gives off 250 million candlepower! That's quite a step up from the first lights used in 1879 with an illuminating power of 32,000 candles.

This show has been called everything from the Attraction of the Year to the Ultimate in Canadiana, but one thing's for sure: it's a winner on all counts. The revue is still enthralling dinner show guests years after it first opened. It's the brainchild of two local travel industry businessmen. The five course meal that goes along with it includes French Canadian Pea Soup, Alberta Roast Beef (Grade Eh?!), and New Brunswick Potatoes. Ticket prices are CAD42. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Get ready to scream |

If you're tired of the sunshine and the roar of the Falls, why not try walking in total darkness while scary monsters leap out at you? That's the gist of this haunted house, where you never know what will come at you next and what will send you screaming towards the exit. But don't worry, you simply yell out "screamers" and the ordeal is over;you'll simply join thousands of others on the Chicken List. Review © 2007, Wcities |
