Niagarafallslive.com went live February 19th
with the first ever hi-definition streaming
webcam of Niagara Falls. We're
extremely happy with the results and hope to add several more by the end
of the year. The camera is located on the 51st floor of the new Hilton
Fallsview Hotel and is focused on the Canadian Horseshoe Falls and Table
Rock area. We
hope you enjoy it and come visit soon! |

| There
is a lot of misinformation regarding crossing the border into Niagara
Falls Canada and returning to the United States. Adults age sixteen and
over require a passport ($100.00), passport card ($45.00) or enhanced
drivers license ($30.00). Children under the age of sixteen are only
required to provide their birth certificate.
Even with enhanced security at the
international bridges, crossing times are minimal with no delays except
on holidays. So grab the kids, hop in the car and head on over to
Niagara Falls!
More information on identification
requirements can be found
here. |

added a collection of hi-definition
video clips taken from

coincidence? |

| If we could
recommend any one attraction that is a "must try" during the
tourist season we would have to
recommend the Whirlpool Jetboat
Tours. It's truly a one of kind adventure for
everyone. If you don't mind getting soaking wet, it's better than any
e-ticket ride at Disney. And if you don't want to get wet, they now offer
the "Jet Dome" for those looking for a more relaxed site seeing tour on
the Niagara River. Visit their page for a great discount
coupon and more information.
