NIAGARA FALLS BY WHEELCHAIR -- PART 7



NIAGARA FALLS ACCESS FOR DISABLED VISITORS

High above the floral parks along the falls, Skylon Tower provides stunning views of the American and Horseshoe falls.

The best viewing is at twilight.

We walked and rolled the short distance from our hotel to the 520-foot tall tower.

On the plus side for disabled guests, Skylon has ramped entrances, wide common areas and excellent elevators to the observation deck

On the down side, only the indoor viewing area of the observation deck is wheelchair accessible.

The breathtaking outdoor viewing area can be reached only be steps.

But even from the glass-enclosed observation deck, Niagara’s pool below the falls looks pretty amazing nearly 800 feet down.

In daylight, rainbows often arc over the Horseshoe Falls.

During many evenings, a light show bathes the cascading water in multiple colors.

The panoramic view also includes the neon lights of Clifton Hill – where adults can buy tacky souvenirs, gorge on carnival candy and indulge themselves in all the things they didn’t get enough of as a kid.

Having fun, that’s what Niagara Falls is all about.

STORY CONTINUES TOMORROW -- MARCH 28
