The Great Canadian Midway is one of Clifton Hill's most popular attractions -- a massive arcade filled with classic and modern games for all ages. We love coming here, especially to play our favourite, Connect Four Basketball! Beyond the endless arcade fun, there's even a mini shooting gallery and Ghost Blasters, a spooky little haunted laser ride that's an absolute blast. It's the perfect spot for a mix of nostalgia, competition, and laughs. Always a must-stop for us in Niagara Falls! read more

This place was a lot of fun with a great variety of games. The card is easy to buy and reload, but the tickets go quickly when you're having fun. When I went it wasn't crowded, so it was easy to move from game to game. It has all the classic arcade games as well as some bigger shooting games. One of the games reminded me of Disney's Toy Story Midway Mania. It was a lot of games at different skill levels. The prizes aren't great unless you come enough times to redeem them, but the fun is in the game play more than the cheap knickknacks for prizes. read more

Great Canadian Midway - Arcades Near Me - Niagara Falls, Ontario

Bit of a rip off but it's expected. ‍ lots of options for the kids. Kids had fun. .........

If you continue straight after you cross the border from the states to Canada, you'll end up in Clifton Hills. And as you make your way up the street, you'll see and hear the sounds of Great Canadian Midway. It's a fun place to stop by and play one of their variety of games that they have. They have classic arcade games, newer ones, bowling, skee ball, and other games you might see at Lasertron (if you're from the greater Buffalo area), or a Dave n' Busters if you're familiar with that. You can walk in and grab a card to buy and reload credits on it. It feels crowded at the entrance but as you go deeper into it, you'll realize it's mostly because people are attracted to the lights and that there isn't a lot of people in the place. We ended up only playing one game and that was the blaster game where you are in a moving car and you need to shoot different targets with your lasers to get points. The customer service isn't the greatest. On a good day it might be decent at best. They are short with their answers. If you're in good spirits or know how to have a good time regardless of where you are, this can turn into an awesome experience for you. And if you get hungry, you can walk up the stairs to Boston Pizza or continue down the way to a handful of other options. This place is great for the whole family. read more

I don't really write many low-star reviews but I thought this one was deserved. I've always been coming to Midway since I was young, maybe for the last 15-20 years, but this time I came, all the games took a lot more tokens than usual. Before, the thrill about midway was that you would get physical tokens and physical tickets; that was the charm. But now all the tokens are loaded onto a physical card, which you need to pay an extra $2 for?? All the games now also take 4 to 10 tokens. That's quite upsetting... before, there used to be games that you can play with just 1 token. Overall a bad experience. Stuff has gotten more expensive. Quality has declined. Won't be coming back. read more

Review for the XD Toy Store 4D Experience- If you are coming to Niagara and want to do the Clifton Hills midway experience like a mid tier Atlantic City, go ahead and get the fun pass and go for it. It's a great way to spend a few hours with absolute cheese and worth the group price (we saw lots of parents pay one offs and that is soooo much more expensive). This is the one pass experience I would skip completely. It's so jerky and creepy and can make you nauseous. Just not fun at all. read more

A fantastique spread of games, I had fun scouring each one and playing them. Outdoor and indoor decor is also spot on, it was easy to find and big in the outside. It was plenty of fun. The games also aren't rigged unlike some other arcades from my experience.Compliments on the prizes too. They are very, very creative in my opinion. I love going down here in the area to just explore spots like this one! read more

Went on a Saturday night in the summer, this place is big enough there's room for everyone. Price is about the same as other arcades I've experienced in Metro Detroit, so it is a good value. We had some luck with the claw machines! read more

Great Canadian Midway has been around for a long long time. This is like kids' dream paradise. There are lots of fun activities ranging from arcade games to ticket prizes games like basketball to testing your reflexes games. Great Canadian Midway is located in Niagara Falls. Prizes used to be a lot easier to win than today. The place was very busy when we went. read more

Great Canadian Midway at Niagara Falls seems to have changed their payment format since around 2024 spring; there is no longer any game tokens to play or paper tickets for prize, instead it uses game cards issued at its machines or its staffed cash counter, and all prize tickets are tracked digitally after each swipe and play. Each new game card cost $2 CAD, plus tax, and minimum amount per credit refill is $10, you can no longer pay smaller amounts than that. Each game credit equals about 25 cents; most short ticket-prize-giving midway games cost about 3 to 8 credits($0.75~$2) per play, and racing or shoooing game cost about 8 to 10 credits (~$2+) per play, a few fancier games like VR or big claw machines cost upwards to 20 credits per play. Overall, it feels like this arcade place has gotten more expensive and greedier than in the past. And it has become basically the most expensive arcade in Niagara Falls area, compared to the nearby adventure city or the skylon funzone, even if some of its machine might have the biggest/fanciest screen. read more

Fun and friendly staff! It was my kids' first time there (1.5 and a almost 5). I didn't know that a baby would have lots of fun there. Lots of great options to choose from. We also discovered a smaller Midway Game right next to Boston Pizza. (Between Boston pizza and ferris wheel) I think that one is more suitable for younger kids. Smaller space but the arcades are less loud and crazy. Staff are super helpful and friendly. They let my daughter to take her time to pick her prizes. $20 for 50 tokens. I think some hotels have their coupons that you can get extra $5 tokens for free. read more

Great place for the whole family This place is more than just arcades, it has a lot of games and other Rides for the entire family Ranging from a 6D movie theater, to zombies ride, To other festival like games aside from the nice and fun arcades, this place is a must visit when you are in Niagara read more

I've been going here since I was a kid and it's always a fun time playing the games and people watching. Be aware it is a very noisy environment, but for me, it's the sounds of fun. To park, sometimes you can get lucky and find a spot on Clifton Hill! read more

Great Canadian Midway - Arcades Near Me - Niagara Falls, Ontario

I went really late at night so there was no one in the arcade except for us. We bought the special deal that included $20 worth of coins to play in the arcade as well as the ride that shoots targets on a cart. We had a lot of fun on the rides but we found that the left side gets a lot more area for the targets to shoot and the right side doesn't. We got enough tickets to get a few prizes to bring back with us. We didn't have enough for 4 rings we were off by 3 tickets. But the guy was nice enough to give us an extra one. I really like this arcade, they open late and even for the games that weren't working correctly we just had to let the workers know and they will come check out the machine, fix it and give you back your coins. read more

This place makes me feel like a kid again. I honestly think I have more fun in there than my kids do. There is a huge variety of games to play and fun activities to do. There's even a dancing game there which is super fun and exciting, there's 3D bowling, a 3D theater, a haunted house, 3D roller coaster ride and a mini shooting range amongst a barrage of other stuff. There's something there for everyone, unless you're the Grouch, the Grinch or Mr Scrooge. Fun comes with a price so make sure you have enough tokens as each game accepts different amounts of tokens and they go by very quickly. Some activities you have to pay cash as they don't accept tokens. Play and win as much tickets as you can to redeem prizes when you've used up all your tokens. Did I mention how much fun this place is? This place all around fun, family friendly and just awesome. read more

my boyfriend and I are from out of town and wanted to see what the big buzz about this place was! We went in and it was CRAZY busy, full of people! we got a couple tokens and went to some games and had sooo much fun, we ended up going back everyday all weekend lol, we left with a large amount of tickets and give them to a kid! the games were unbelievable fun, all the staff were really nice and understanding about any issues that happened! i would definitely go back! read more

Grandkids are having a blast but at a cost to the adults! This is a definite must see entertainment centre with helpful staff. The venue is quite noisy with so many competing games and distractions for people of all ages. Lots of flash, lights, unique gameplay sounds to drive one crazy. Playing games earns you yellow tickets which you can then redeem what you've earned for something trivial at the prize centre. read more

Great selection and fun place for kids. Very much happening place to go at Clifton hill. read more

This is an old timey arcade with a ghost blasting ride. It has tokens and paper tickets. It also has games of luck, skill, chance and reflexes as well as strength. The Fun Zones in Skylon and on Fallsview as well as on Clifton Hill (formerly Captain Jack) are competitors along with Adventure City. PS Great Canadian Midway has kiddie rides for the very young; they are token operated with music and sound effects. read more

This place is awesome - WHEN it works. I contemplated giving this place 1/5 but there is some stuff inside that is consistently decent such as Ghost Blasters or some of the games. There are alot of highlights inside such as air hockey or basketball, but I would say at least half of the time the arcade machines don't work or the ticket redemption machines don't work. If they got this fixed this place could be much better. read more

TLDR: Average Arcade that has all rigged payouts in every machine! Go to the one in the casino instead!! Better prizes and better games. $10 - 24 coins $50 - 170 coins Games cost from 2 - 4 coins each We came here during New Years, as usual the place was fairly packed, some machines were already broken and not working. However we had fun! The jackpots were so low sometimes, some machines would have a 20 ticket jackpot Lol. they have 2 machine operated games that looked very old and costs 5dollars to ride each time so that was a bummer. My biggest problem was how many games were rigged for payout, we got so many jackpots and every time it wouldn't payout we had to get staff to help us out.. Staff 50/50 would be willing to HELP, some staff would just give us 10 coins back for the jackpot and tell us to try different games, others would actually fix the machine temporarily and even then wouldn't pay us back for the whole jackpot lmfao. The payout was also in tickets, so youd have to carry them so be prepared to do that lol. read more

Family fun. Clean arcade, lots of variety of games. Purchased tokens online thinking it would be a great deal but the price wasn't much different when we got there (just 10 tokens difference). Next time I would not prepay as we probably bought too many tokens buying two of these 'packages'. Yes, sometimes the machine ate tokens, yes sometimes the ticket machine counter ate my tickets (I think I caused three machines to go out of service), but all in all we had fun. We won enough tickets to get the kids enough things they liked, and the person at the prize counter was super nice, friendly and did not rush us at all. She gave us suggestions on how to use the tickets efficiently - and when one child did not have enough for something she wanted she let us have it anyway. read more

This place unleashes the inner child in me and it makes me so happy. I was in town for a week and one of my to-do list is to go to an arcade every where I visit. My first impression is that this place is big, colorful, loud, similar to Dave & Busters but there's a huge selection of different games to play and do. On our first night, I played a game called "stacker" and won an Nintendo Switch and the Original Play Station 1 console! After that, we visited 3 more times just because it was that fun and addicting. Each machine is usually 2 to 4 tokens. They accept USD and CAD for tokens but I would recommend exchanging it to Canadian dollar because you get more. Overall, the prizes are reasonable and this is an awesome entertainment place for families and couples! read more

Fun place to go with kids. If you plan to be there for an hour or so, get the online deal of 180 tokens for 40 dollars as you will pay more for less when you get there. You can get this deal even when you are there but you will need to walk to the kiosk in front of the skywheel to claim it. Lots to do though like all arcades the prizes aren't worth their ticket prices. In all respects was a good experience. A couple of machines stopped working but the staff are super responsive to get them up and going again. Usually tickets get stuck in the machine. The piano tiles one is a good game for anyone who is a fan of the app. The XD ride was definitely not worth the money. read more

It's great to see that this arcade maintains it traditional roots of coins and tickets when many modern day establishments vouch for digital currencies. I came with a bunch of friends on New Year's Eve and it was jam packed. Otherwise, it is generally quite accessible on a regular day. The variety of machines are great for people of all ages, with a little of something for those who are veterans to the scene and those who just earned their greenhorn status. Prizes themselves are definitely subpar, but it is to be expected for an arcade business. If you're coming to an arcade expecting to walk out with a 2DS (or a basic Keurig machine which costs three times more for some reason...) then you're not here for the right reasons. For $20, you can easily buy yourselves about 1 hour of entertainment if you pace yourself nicely. If you're looking for a decent bang for your buck on this entertainment boulevard, this is certainly a spot to check out. read more

I'm a sucker for this place. It used to be called "Dazzleland" back in the day when my Dad, brother and I came. Now, 20+ years later, I get to take my kids here. My daughter is still too young but my 3 year old went absolutely bananas for this place. My husband and I ended up spending $100 over two days -- kind of ridiculous, but it's Niagara Falls... can't really think about how badly you're getting ripped off or you'd never want to come. We did get several hours of entertainment though, so not the worst value on Clifton Hill by any means. The prizes have come a long way too. I've actually gotten a few things here over the years with our ticket winnings that aren't total garbage. Always worth a visit, tons of games, you're bound to find a few things you like. read more

This place brings back a mountain of memories from childhood. For some reason, it seems like the arcade games that we had when I worked at Putt-Putt Golf, Games & Skating back in the late 90's are all still up and running - like Hydro Thunder, Sega GT Racing and Cruisin' USA. Not to mention the physical games - skee-ball (of course), air hockey (a must) and that annoyingly-stupid game where the ball of light runs around in a circle and you have to slam the button right when it's in between the arches in front of you. Dear god that game sucks! They have this place set up like a cross between a Chuck-E-Cheese and a casino. You can buy tokens with a credit card (wow) and then keep them in the same kind of buckets you'd find in Vegas. The prize center is awesomely lame, with 5 tickets buying you a fake fly or a ring, and everything else costing 2,500 tickets. My girlfriend and I were one ticket short of a whoopee cushion, so we left our modest stash for another child to enjoy. read more

Arcades are always a great time! Had a blast running around playing, used our tickets for candy and gave the rest to the next person in line. read more

I've been to this Midway a few times, and there's really not much to report. It's a huge gaming center, not unlike what you would find at Dave and Busters, only with more kids running around. The selection ranges from super-kiddie-ish games, to stuff like Guitar Hero, shooting games, and ski ball/basketball games. Honestly, I usually use this place as a pit-stop while on the hill, but I will usually end up playing a few games. On my most recent visit, my girl and I gave their ride a try, which is esentially Scooby's Haunted Mansion from Canada's Wonderland, sans-Scooby. It was fun. Our scores put us in the top tier of shooters. Yeah, suck it losers! So there it is. Nothing special. Some great games and a decent ride. Most importantly, a free and clean bathroom in the heart of Clifton Hill. read more

Anyone who knows me knows that I love arcades. When I found out the surprise trip my parter was taking me on was to Niagara Falls, I knew the midway had to be our first stop. Prices are reasonable, and this is the only arcade that I know of that's still using the token and ticket system which adds some novelty. We ended up with a decent amount of tickets and some shot glasses as prizes after only spending $20. They also have a 6D (which I think is the same as 4D) ride and a shooting ride (similar to the one at Canada's Wonderland). The hours are also unbeatable - when everything was closing on a Monday night we were able to stay here for hours. One of my favourite places on Clifton Hill. read more

One of my favourite places on Clifton Hill! Everytime I come to Niagara Falls, I always make a stop here because it's so much fun. A lot of games you can play, and a lot of prizes to choose from at the end. The only reason I gave four stars is because sometimes certain games are out of service or the token gets lost. Other than that, it's an amazing place to come and have fun. read more

This is a pretty fun arcade that kids will definitely love. They have a huge amount of games and a wide variety so everyone can have a good time. I don't personally like it as much because the whole arcade thing has kinda seemed less exciting to me as I've grown older but I would absolutely love this place as a kid. Also it can be a little costly to get alot of tokens but overall its a fun time, especially if you get the tokens as apart of the fun pass read more

Coupons for ghost blaster must be printed! Can't just show coupon on phone. What technology -_- ALSO, ghost blaster was a waste of $$ because my gun did not work properly. Games are alright. If you are over 19, I suggest you skip this childrens play land and head over to Fallsview casino instead. We wasted $25 here and i won enough tickets to get me 200 tickets .. and redeemed the tickets for a $1 hopping bunny rabbit, and 3 sticky hands that i can slap people with. Take that $25 and go play wheel of fortune at the casino instead. read more

This place is big. The game were decent priced compare to other places. It's hard to get a lot of tickets without wasting too much money. Overall, it's a good place for kids to have fun and get miniature prizes read more

Could've had more stuff to play - and some was out of order - but it was good enough for my wife and I (in our early 30's) to enjoy some throw-back time as kids again. Air Hockey, Pop-a-Shot, and Skee-ball were our games of choice. Lots of stuff to do, games to play, and food to eat. read more

Tokens cost us a bit more here than we are used to in the states (essentially two for a dollar) and most games cost two or more tokens. HOWEVER, there is a wide variety of games and many of them are multiplayer making this a very fun family experience. The ticket counter has a lot of prizes and they cost less tickets than we are used to, for just a few hundred tickets our 8 year old was able to feel like she actually won something. If we ever come back to Niagara Falls, we will definitely return. read more

We love coming here every time we visit Niagara! The kids love it and we all have hours of endless fun!

Tokens can be expensive here but if u get them online ..it's even cheaper! Like $44.25 for 160 tokens! U can play like crazy for that amount! LOL..plus my hubby won the grand prize for me! 5500 tickets for a oversized panda bear for my birthday gift! So cute!!! read more

Let's start with the bowling. We signed up for an hour and we have been here over 2. The technical difficulties have delayed our game at least 30 times. The pins don't come down. The staff is friendly but it's annoying to sit here and have no opportunity to play. We don't recommend to come by. The arcade is okay but expensive. Had a drunk girl fall and break her glass. read more

Great place. Thankful it's here for rainy days on vacation fun a little pricey had a good time with grandson
