“As if you could miss it!”
And on this visit, I found a new appreciation for the place I thought I knew.
Day One
Viji and I started atwhere else?the falls.

We also took a hard-hat sneak peek at an upcoming attraction, which has since then opened.
As of July 2021, a glass elevator takes people 180 feet underground into the old Tailrace Tunnel.
The descent mimics the route the water once took through the power plant.

Johnson walked us across the site of the War of 1812’s pivotal Battle of Queenston Heights.
I made a mental note to book a full Indigenous Niagara Living Museum tour in the future.
Our apartment-like two-bedroom suite sat above a row of shops, offering views of the old-fashioned main street below.

Recent renovations added a lounge for both guests and locals, plus a hydrotherapy-focused spa.
It was a simple pleasure to do just that.
We were ready for some downtime, so we booked sessions in the Hydrotherapy Infinity tub atChristienne Fallsview Spa.

This, I thought as the bubbles worked their magic, was the postcard memory I came for.
