NIAGARA FALLS ACCESS FOR DISABLED VISITORS
The
Criminals Hall of Fame Wax Museum is one tacky, but fun museum that we can
recommend for barrier-free access.
The
museum is located on a more level, easy to negotiate part of Clifton Hill. It’s
attendant is quick to point out the hall’s accessibility.
We
found the aisles plenty wide to negotiate and were please that everything is on
the ground floor – meaning no steps to worry about.
The
one negative is that some of the kitschy displays are behind windows located
too high off the ground for full viewing from the seat of a wheelchair.
The
Hall of Fame is great in a Jerry Springer kind of way. Lots of fake blood and
campy dioramas fill the dimly-lit corridors.
Jeffrey
Dahmer is depicted with his infamous refrigerator – complete with body parts on
its shelves.
Lizzie
Borden is captured in wax with her famous ax.
New
York mobster Albert Anastasia – of Murder Incorporated fame -- is shown in a
pool of blood, shot down in his barber chair in a hail of gangland gunfire.
Nestled
among the vivid varieties of Clifton Hill are many motels and hotels catering
to everyone from families to honeymooners.
STORY CONTINUES TOMORROW -- MARCH 22
