There are plenty of other things to do at Niagara Falls, all of them really cheesy and tacky. This includes the Movieland Wax Museum.

We’ve all heard about how scarily close the Madame Tussauds Wax Museums get to the real deal and so I had sort of the same expectations when I went to the Movieland Wax Museum especially after seeing the freakishly identical wax figure of Heath Ledger (as shown above). It looks so incredibly real!

To tell you the truth, I was pretty disappointed. A lot of the wax figures looked far from the individual. But having said that, there were a few that stood out and really surprised me how good they looked. Examples below!

It doesn’t take long to walk through the museum as well, it’s very small with not a lot of wax figures to see. At the very end, you can have a wax replica of your hand made at the Fun Factory Gift Shop.

Not really worth the time, or money. But it's something to do if there's nothing better!

One weekend, I travelled to Niagara Falls. It’s usually only about an hour and a half drive away from the city of Toronto so it wasn’t too much of a drive, but it was a very snowy one! It was about -20C with windchill and there was snow all over the roads even though there was no snow at all in Toronto.

When we finally got there, the falls was so misty that we could hardly see anything and a lot of it was iced up. While it was extremely cold, it sure was pretty!

Because it’s so cold during the winter, the Maid of the Mist doesn’t operate but you can still get great views of the Falls via the Observation tower or the SkyWheel. The wheel is absolutely stunning at night!

Niagara Falls may be a bit of a drive, but it’s definitely a worthwhile visit. It sits on the border of the N.Y, USA and Ontario, Canada border and if you’re wanting to go see the Falls for yourself, make sure you visit from the Canadian side and not the U.S. side because you get a much more spectacular view of not just Niagara Falls but also the Horseshoe Falls! Can’t get better than that – two waterfalls in the one visit!

It’s snowing. It’s supposedly spring but it’s snowing. And it will be for three days. I can’t believe how cold a Toronto “spring” is. The wind chill was especially ridiculous.

Here’s a quick video I took just outside where I live in Bayview, Toronto.
