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.

What we got: Formula 1 Racing - 6 Rounds (~CAD $16)…read more Aya's take: I love go karting and this was my first time doing it outdoors! 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.

The incline is so sharp that at times I was worried my powerchair might tip backward. As for the attractions, it's a classic tourist strip packed with spots like Ripley's Believe It or Not, the Horror Castle, the Frankenstein Coaster, and the Niagara SkyWheel, which is fully accessible. I also treated myself to some fresh Baileys Irish Cream fudge, which was delicious. The whole area reminded me a lot of Times Square back home. Bright lights, crowds, attractions everywhere, and nearly everything sits on a slant because of the hill. Quite an experience! #CliftonHill #NiagaraFallsCanadaSide #Abigail #tysadventures26CRAZY!

* No Pictures What…read moreto say about Clifton Hill. Tourist street of all streets. Restaurants, bars, attractions, arcades. Children's and adults playground of all sorts. The reason for the 3 stars is just the prices for everything is astonishing. I get it's all tourist so that's the reason but definitely figure out what you want to see and do before coming down as things add up. Also, it's called a Hill for a reason. Trouble walking, or young or super tired/ sore this street is a pain to walk up. Did it many times and boy are my legs sore. The lights and sounds are nice to see at night. Could be super crowded at times. Overall 7.5 out of 10

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.

Racing duel mat slides, a toilet bowl type slide and a few other ones. The slides are basic and fun as they can be. What they fall short is with the Wave Pool. The size is tiny. The wave comes every 40 minutes and last 3 minutes. Not the biggest waves either since the area is tiny. Rude lifeguards as well. You work with kids, you can atleast talk with them when asking a question. The outdoor pool has no thrills, just basketball nets and a handful of lounge chairs. After a kids vomited they had to Remove everyone from the wave pool for sanitation reasons obviously but then never gave an update on how long. After about 30 minutes , it was back open. Like I said my older kids went on every slide and that was enjoyable. The rest kept us very underwhelming. The price is steep but again it's a tourist attraction. Didn't try any food or drink. I would not recommend or come again. Overall a 5.7 out of 10

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.
