As I mentioned yesterday, we went to Niagara Falls last week to play. Along with going to Wizards’ Golf, we also went through Ghost Blasters. I tried to take some photos with my phone. But it’s hard as I’m moving and still trying to beat my wife’s score! 🙂 Anyway, here are some photos (some…
One of my favourite attractions on Clifton Hill is Ghost Blasters. This is the “dark ride” inside the Great Canadian Midway. You sit in a little cart that takes you around a circuit where you shoot at targets. When you hit a target, different parts of the set move. I admit it… I’m not very…

For $25 you get access to 1 mini-putt (Dinosaur Park or Galaxy Golf), the Movieland wax musuem, the Niagara SkyWheel, the 2 attractions in the…
Over the next few entries in this weekly feature, I’m going to write about the 3 arcades that are in the main tourist area. Calling them arcades probably isn’t fair. When I think of an arcade I think of a small dark area crammed with video games and pinball machines. The arcades in the tourist…
The biggest mall in the Niagara Region is The Pen Centre, located in St. Catharines. This weekend (Saturday and Sunday) they are having a Niagara Tourism Expo.
