Guinness Book Of World Records Museum on Clifton Hill

The Guinness Book of World Records Museum was a major disappointment for us.  Located at the bottom of Clifton Hill, this museum is full of facts about various world records and...well, that's about it.

While that was obviously what we were expecting factually in there, we expected there to at least be something to try to bring those records to life.  However, it was really just a bunch of pictures and text to look at.  Nothing special at all, and nothing more than you'd find in the book that they publish annually.

Another extremely disappointing fact is that some of the records shown in the museum are severely out of date.  While I don't know how many facts were out of date, in the sports section, about 1 out of every 5 records shown has been broken in the past 5 to 10 years.  Definitely take a pass on this part of Niagara Falls when visiting!

However, it is free to take pictures outside with a few of the props before the admission counter. Take full advantage of this and skip the museum itself.
