Clifton Hill: The Best Street to Walk in Niagara Falls

Most walkable adventure

What is Clifton Hill known for?

Clifton Hill isn’t just a street. It’s like a mini-theme park disguised as a neighbourhood, packed with energy, colour, and attractions that’ll make you feel like a kid in a candy store.

Step into the Energy

There’s this buzz in the air. Think of it as the heartbeat of Niagara Falls, and you’re right in the middle of it. Every step brings something new—a giant Ferris wheel looming overhead, the smell of funnel cakes, fudge and pizza, and families darting from one attraction to the next.

Attractions that will keep you busy (in the best way)

What’s your vibe? Because Clifton Hill caters to just about everyone. Love a great view? Hop on the Niagara SkyWheel for a bird’s-eye look at the Falls and the city below—it’s especially magical at nigh.

More of a thrill-seeker? Try one of the haunted houses (I dare you to keep a straight face in there). Got kids—or just want to be one again? The Big Top Mirror and Lazer Maze is a whirlwind of excitement—chaotic, captivating, and undeniably fun.

Clifton Hill steps to the Falls

When you reach the end of Clifton Hill (Niagara River Parkway), you’ll find yourself surrounded by some of Niagara’s most beautiful natural spaces. To the left, Oakes Garden Theatre offers a quiet garden escape with its winding paths, sculpted greenery, and fountain and pond fountains—an ideal spot to sit and soak it all in. To the right, Queen Victoria Park stretches along the Parkway, with colourful gardens and shady trails perfect for a peaceful stroll.

And just ahead? The mighty Niagara Falls, where the roar of the water and the cool mist remind you why this destination is world-famous.
