It's not a silver bullet, but it is the continuation of long-needed improvements that will make Niagara Falls, N.Y., a robust tourist destination, not a one-hit wonder. The Niagara Falls Aquarium's ambitious expansion efforts, which started with the redevelopment of the former Schoellkopf Geological Museum, are continuing, with a third, brand-new structure to be built on an adjacent parcel. The Aquarium, a relatively modest institution – it's no Shedd or Monterey Bay – has always been a bit of an underdog, but soon it will command a sprawling campus of family-friendly attractions, not far from the brink of the falls.
