Wonderful experience. Very crowded but all the attractions have very quick lines or no wait at all. I would suggest getting a fun pass, there are a few different options.
Allan C
Amazingly designed street with lots of arcades, fun/haunted houses, restaurants and fast food stands. I come here at least once each summer to take in the sights and sounds. It gets super crowded here during the summer. It's a short walking distance from Niagara Falls.

It’s a great family outing place everyone has something to do here - we spent 2 days but need more to explore the rest - overall true to its hipe but expensive as well
