Fallsview Tourist Area
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fallsview Tourist Area in Niagara Falls, Ontario is the main tourist attraction surrounding the Falls. In recent years, it has become the home many of the hotels in the city, such as: the Hilton Hotel, Marriott, Oakes Hotel, Renaissance Hotel, Radisson, Sheraton, and Embassy Suites. Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort is also located near the centre of this area. It is also the location of the Skylon Tower and Minolta Tower.
The area is linked to the Table Rock Center and Journey Behind the Falls, on the Niagara Parkway just above the falls, by the Falls Incline Railway.
[edit] Traffic Congestion
The Fallsview Tourist area is also known for its gridlock traffic issues. These traffic issues are mostly caused by shortages of parking spaces in the area for tourists during peak demand periods and a lack of transportation services in the area. This issue has caused some parking lot operators to charge up to $50 for all day parking spaces.[citation needed]
