20 acres of resort · the river across the road

The neighbourhood: a resort block, a hill of lights and a river

Step out of the Sheraton and you are on a 20-acre resort block, at the foot of Clifton Hill, across the road from the river. Here is what is within a short walk — named from official pages, not from memory.

Route on this page

On the Falls Avenue Resort block

The hotel group describes the Sheraton as the cornerstone of the 20-acre Falls Avenue Resort (hotel group). Its own pages and the casino's property map place these on the block:

  • Fallsview Indoor Waterpark

    Three acres of indoor slides and pools, connected to the Sheraton.

  • Casino Niagara

    19+, through the walkway, open around the clock.

  • Hershey's Chocolate World

    A chocolate shop and attraction on the block.

  • Adventure City

    An arcade; the property map also lists a 4D theatre.

  • Rainforest Cafe and Hard Rock Cafe

    Themed restaurants, connected or within steps.

  • Niagara Brewing Company and Niagara Distillery

    A brewery next door and a distillery with barbecue.

Clifton Hill

The street that climbs from the river past the casino is Clifton Hill, the town's best-known row of attractions. The parking page of the hotel group describes Oneida Lane, past the casino's main entrance, leading "straight to Clifton Hill" (parking). It stays lit well into the evening.

The river side

Less than a block from the garage entrance, the hotel group says, is Oakes Garden and a short path to the Niagara Parkway and the Falls. The casino's FAQ gives the shortest route to the view: out of the lower-level doors on Falls Avenue, across the road to the railing, and the Falls are on the right (FAQ). The hotel group adds that Sheraton guests are steps from Niagara City Cruises and other Niagara Parks attractions (hotel group).

The Rainbow Bridge

Directly across from the resort, the bridge crosses to Niagara Falls, New York. Bring the right documents if you plan to walk over (see

Getting there).

Further out: wine country and golf

The resort's meetings page puts Falls Avenue "only minutes from the famous Niagara wine region and championship golf courses" (resort). We publish no drive times we have not seen; use Google Maps from the hotel for each winery you pick, and keep a driver who is not tasting.

Up the hill: the Fallsview district

The towers on the ridge above the Falls — Fallsview Casino Resort among them — are about 20 minutes away on foot by the casino's estimate, or a free shuttle on weekends and show days. It is a different neighbourhood: hotels on the ridge look down on the Falls from further away; Falls Avenue looks across at them from close by.

Send the desk a note about your dates

Tell us when you want to be at the Falls and which window you are after. The desk checks availability and the current rate with the hotel's reservations or a booking partner, then answers by email. It is a request, not a reservation: no card number, nothing charged. If it turns into a confirmed stay, the hotel or partner pays this guide a commission — how this guide earns.

Received. The desk replies by email, usually within one working day.

Lounge Lark is not the hotel. The desk passes nothing to the casino, and no one under 18 can reserve a room at this hotel.
