Niagara Falls General Tips
 Sort by: Most Recent | Best Rated | Author's Order

Minolta Tower: Skylon Tower
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: Niagara's highest and most spectacular view - 775 ft. above the Falls. The awe-inspiring panorama will take your breath away. Ride one of exterior glass enclosed elevators to the indoor\outdoor Observation Deck

    Fondest Memory: The tower features three outside mounted "Yellow Bug" elevators. At the time of their construction they were the first such elevators in Canada.

    The tower has two restaurants at its top, the lower Revolving Dining Room and the upper Summit Suite Buffet. The RDR seats 276 people and revolves once every hour (a 3 horsepower motor is required to rotate the floor). An observation deck sits at the tower's summit. The base of the tower features a number of gift shops, fast food restaurants and a large amusement arcade. A floor for conventions is also available, but has been seldom utilized in recent years.

    General Tips: Beluga Whales, Marineland
  • Tip Rating:
  • Niagara Falls - Beluga Whales, Marineland
  • Beluga Whales, Marineland
  • by kris-t , 1 more photos
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Favorite Thing: Arctic beluga whales are one of the most popular members of Marineland's marine mammal family.

    This gregarious whale can be up to 5m (16 ft) long, larger than all but the largest dolphins but smaller than most other toothed whales. Males are generally larger than the female - males can weigh 1.5 tons and females about one ton. Newly-born Beluga are about 1.5m long and weigh 80kg.

    Fondest Memory: Belugas are also very playful, friendly mammals, you can feed them here

     Amazing pictures!!

     It took at least 30 minutes to be seated, and an additional one hour to get 2 bugers. The waiter brought something else, and in the end charged my credit card 51 dollars as tip, instead of 5!!!!
