I've always wanted to visit Niagara Falls, one of America's and Canada's "shared" treasures. I didn't even imagine Niagara Falls city even having a skyline other than that observation tower, so I'm pretty impressed. The buildings are interesting to look at, are most hotels though? Amazing natural setting next to the falls. 8/10

This is like Canada's version of Las Vegas... tacky observation towers and ugly hotels

Rating the skyline, this is a bit crap. 5/10

I refuse to give it extra points for being by niagara falls...

Have you ever considered shutting up? Didn't think so. I wasn't talking about you... I was talking about people that voted immensly low for a beautiful city, and running away without posting a comment. Thanx. :|

1.
Don't tell me to shut up. I know you were talking about people who vote low and then run off, i hate them too btw, but you seemed to be annoyed that their votes were too low, rather than their cowardice...which brings me to point 2...
2.
This city looks no where near the city you seem to believe it is. "Retard" is the word i would use for the architects who designed what look like poor, lifeless buildings. This is less tacky than Las Vegas, but don't get too ahead of yourself.
3.
Get a life

Oaronuviss would love to know what you all think of this skyline!

Get voting!!!

You're damn right I want people to vote.

As for the skyline,it looks pretty cool for such a population.
And with the landscapa around it,it looks even better.
6.0/10

Rename the forum to 'Rate our natural surroundings' and i'll give Niagra a 10/10.

lively. beautiful. the place is but not the skyline. cool though. 5.5/10

5.5/10


for that nice tower and the pop.

How many observation towers are there
Seem like a lot in many diff shots are they all the same one or some thing eles

+ I gave it 6 massive credit for the fall as location and sky line of the mist and such

8/10

5.5/10 a couple of plus points for being a scenic background. ;)

5.5/10

not bad... 6/10

5.5

Seems like a well-focused collection of buildings, a bit too dominated by ob towers though imho.

Nice tower and the skyline is good for the size of the population, but buildings are ugly

7.5/10

I visited Niagara Falls, Canada myself in October 2002 and was really impressed. Especially the view from the Skylon Tower is great.

7/10...because for a city with only 77,000 it really has an impressive skyline + of course the Niagara Falls itself.

Sorry folks, I had to give it a 4.5 or 4. Niagra Falls is known for its falls, not the skyline and these pics just confirm that. Some interesting buildings and towers for a small town though.

6.5/10

This city has 77,000 people, and it actually has a nice skyline.

All of the above images suck, try these... they actually show the skyline...

http://urbancanada.com/temp/nf/2.jpg

http://urbancanada.com/temp/nf/3.jpg

Considering the population is 77000, its pretty impressive, espeically next to the falls. 8/10

After looking at Hillis pics, i will give it a 7/10

..

8/10...its the only place in Canada you'll find a wacky tacky different skyline like that.

Hey, now Hillis' photos are actually quite good, there is a skyline there.

Ah Niagra Falls the fture Las Vegas of Canada -_-.....It makes me gag....Indeed it is a fun city to be in but it absolutly ruins everything about Niagra falls...especialy that stupid cup bme fuilding AHH! i just want to take a giant sciccors and make the cup fall down of that little stick....Also the buildings are all hotels mosty...

Something funny about this city if you ever go there, is the number of "Haunted Houses" that are sprawled about everywhere (alien houses, ghosts, vampires...) Me and my cousin drove aroudn teh city and counted 11 of them O_o...all equally small and stupid

Niagara Falls deserves much more than a 5/10. I live one the other side of the Niagara Region, the falls are like a 45 minute drive away, but there is this one spot on my road where you can actually see the skyline, especially at night, and it is really quite enormous, when I'm so far far away, and the city is such a small population.

I'll try to get a picture sometime, unfortanelty I only have 2x zoom on my camera

7 / 10.

Although I haven't been to the city itself yet, I'd say that's not too bad for a city of what? 77 000 people?

Look, if you're gonna post a rate this skyline thread and want high marks, at least show the damned thing properly.

for its relative size, I'm giving it a 10/10. And it's going to get much better in the near future (58 storey hotel coming up...., plus more)

10/10 for me, because of the skyline for a city of its size, 80,000, not to mention probably the FUNNEST city in all of Ontario or even Canada, possibly. But I still think nearby Buffalo's and Hamilton's both have more character. :)

Only 77 000 people? I can't believe it :D Skyline is extremally big for a city of this size. 8/10

mark: 9

9 from 10

9/10... this is like Las Vegas. with a waterfall..

The canadians turned their side into a trash hole. Look at that crap! The American side is a state park that better respects the falls.

Very impressive. Much more so than its American counterpart. I give it a 7.5/10. Definitely one of the Top 10 skylines of Canada.

True, I'd rather have a decaying city full of smokestacks and industry with a horrible view of the falls over a thriving tourist hot spot full of nitelife, lots of tourists, a beatiful skyline and many attractions.

2 towers=bad idea

4/10

regardless of the population, its really good skyline
7.5/10

Niagara Falls is now a city, and probably the funniest cities ever to be successful. I would give this city a good cheeze, without the molding on it. This is a very tasteful piece of cake with nice icing all over, and this city is one of them. Clifton Hill is the main attraction, more so than the falls itself, with it being so attractive at nights that draws the people in. Though, there is a lot of people there, not a lot of people from Toronto though. With it's low qualities over on the American side, Niagara Falls takes the top of being the most unique places in North America, probably after Las Vegas. If there were more buildings, then this city would be in the top of my contract. 9/10.

8/10- very well-developed for its population.

i prefer the skyline over each individual building, some of them look a bit cheap imo... nonetheless, i give it an 8....

8/10 for the beauty of nature.

is it the picture or what... some of the buildings looks seriously outdated

6/10

The hight and amount of highrise architecture here is amazing for its population... I especially like the new fallsview casino and the clifton hill strip... nice

i think its nice for the size of the population, but the architecture is not the best. THere were built awhile back though, so giv them some slack....

Do u guys hav a forum for new constructions in niagara, canada? cuz i want to noe wuts goin on there. its pretty interesting

wuts wrong with u ppl.. it has 77 000 ppl... and it actually has a skyline with a few buildings over the height of 100 m plus a proposed building 228m's and another proposed 166 m building.. u ppl r just pissed that a small small city beats ur skyline in height and looks..

8/10

5/10

Amazing, i love the skyline. Very impressive for a city of 80,000 people (roughly 400,000 in the metro "St.Catherines-Niagara")

It has one 229m tower on the way, another 172m tower and a 166m tower with a 109m tower under construction now!

skyline's small.........

i visited here in August, in route to Toronto and i thought it was pretty interesting, i never would've expected any tall buildings

7.5/10

http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r22/VladivostokCCCP/niagrafallsCA.jpg one of my pictures

Impressive for the small population. But it doesn't suprise me. Its the same of some beachtowns where in beachseason live a lot of tourists. It will be the same in this town, maybe during all the year. Anyway, it looks nice. 5.5/10

Looks like a Vegas of Canada. Beautiful buildings surrounding the famous falls.

not bad, 6.0/10

i think is some kind of comfortably stance, is quiet to me, but i dont like at all.

Gave it a 7.5 - not bad, I didnt even know Niagara Falls had a skyline :lol:

the canaidan side's got good falls. and it now has a ferris wheel. 9.

Then they'll have to come to the Canadian side for an unspoilt view ;)

I rated it a 7.
I live here, and I see those towers everyday. It's sort of a fake skyline. It's a thin wall of hotels surrounding the falls. If you see it from a side angle, it looks like only 2 or 3 towers.

The newest tower, the Fallsview Hilton expansion, was set for 58 stories but I've heard from construction crew that they decided to stop at 52. It's a tall imposing building, but they made it match the old tower, which has a brutal turn of the 90's look to it. 52 stories of pale beige stucco with small square windows, such a waste.


These are just some random shots off flickr, i don't have any good ones of my own. I'll have to take some come spring time.

A magnificent view in one of the rooms of a hotel and dining at the top of Skylon tower is just lovely. 6/10 for the skyline, falls 10/10.

I've been there once, and I fell in love with the place!!!

Good shot. This might make my top 10 in Canada one day.

6/10

The city is a million times better than its sister city on the other side. The skyline is not that good imo and doesn't complement the unparalleled natural beauty of Niagara Falls. It's quite sad actually. But I understand that the place is quite touristy hence all the casinos and Clifton Hill. But I hope they keep the tackiness to a minimum. Anyways, the SkyWheel is amazing, especially at night.

There are proposals for about 4 buildings over 200m in Niagara Falls, 2 at the foot of the bridge and the other 2 near Skylon. Up to another 3 buildings over 150m might be in the works. The skyline could get dramatically bigger within the next 5 years.
