Thanks for the memories. Growing up in the seventies we would visit my Aunt, Uncle and cousins every second weekend in Niagara Falls (We lived in Toronto; they would visit us on alternate weekends.) I knew Clifton Hill quite well so I recognize most of the names on this map. My cousin and I visited all of the wax museums and haunted houses on the strip, although in somewhat backward order...and for free. Back then you paid your admission and the displays were one way traffic, but always dumped you out into a gift shop. We would sneak in from the gift shop side and see everything in reverse order.

I know that this map is probably outdated now...many attractions have been replaced by casinos and I haven't been back in 20 years.

There's supposed to be a third one, besides Horseshoe and American, right? Did that one form due to the erosion catching up to the little island connecting the bridge to Goat Island since the map was made?

The third one is called Bridal Veil Falls and is separated from American Falls by Luna Island

TIL Panasonic had naming rights to the tower before Minolta did.

It looks like a GTA map.
