点评:So we came with our kids and friends for New Year's eve and a couple of extra days. Already from Ontario we have been here several times over the years. Our friends however are from South Carolina.
Watching Niagara Falls turn into a decayed, overpriced bump on the map is disheartening.
Areas in town that are away from the main areas like Clifton Hill are in need of repair as they appear to have been forgotten by local politicians and the municipality.
The facilities and venues we have visited so far seem to be meeting the bare minimum for the expectations. Nothing here is new anymore. Paint over paint over paint is about as much renovating that seems to have gone on. The service has been great though. I guess the folks here know their challenges and are trying to makeup for it but the pricing is pretty high for everything. Not to mention they have a mandatory tourist tax on all of your purchases. I think its like 3 or 4% on top of the already high prices and HST you pay. Most attractions seem to be designed to shuffle the cattle through as quickly as possible, like pay 30 for a ticket and get 12 minutes of any sort of enjoyment or excitement.
If youre looking for a budget friendly getaway, this is definitely NOT the place.
Worth visiting but my advice is do your research and choose your venues and attractions and price everything out before you come so you dont get any sticker shock.
Enjoy.
翻译:所以我们带着孩子和朋友来这里过新年,还多待了几天。我们来自安大略省,这些年来来过好几次了。不过我们的朋友来自南卡罗来纳州。
看着尼亚加拉瀑布变成地图上一个破败不堪、物价虚高的凸起,真是令人沮丧。
像克利夫顿山这样远离主要区域的城镇地区亟需修缮,似乎已被当地政客和市政当局遗忘。
到目前为止,我们参观过的设施和场所似乎都只达到了最低标准。这里已经没有什么新东西了。似乎除了粉刷一遍又一遍之外,就没什么其他的翻新了。不过,服务倒是很棒。我想这里的人们也意识到了他们面临的挑战,并试图弥补,但所有东西的价格都相当高。更不用说他们对所有消费都强制征收旅游税。我想这大概是在已经很高的价格和HST(统一销售税)的基础上再加3%或4%。大多数景点的设计似乎都是为了尽快把游客赶过去,比如花30块钱买张票,结果只能享受12分钟的乐趣或刺激。
如果你想找个经济实惠的度假胜地,这里绝对不是个好去处。
这里值得一游,但我建议你提前做好功课,选好想去的景点和活动,并把所有费用都算清楚,以免被价格吓到。
祝你玩得开心!
