Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls
A few weeks ago I went with my mom and sister to visit my aunt in Michigan. During the week we were up there, we decided to make a trip to Niagara Falls. We went in through Canada since it is only four and a half hours away from her house. We stayed one night. We got a GREAT view of the Falls from our hotel room. Seeing it up close is even better! It's spectacular. If you are going to go, go see it on the Canadian side, NOT the American side. To get into Canada, you only need a photo ID and your birth certificate. You will not get a very good view on the American side. There are a lot of attractions in the area if you have kids who get bored easily. We all had a blast up there! I am definitely going to go back again. :-6
DANGER!I drive like you do.

Niagara Falls
There's a beautiful, quiet, off-the-beaten-track town a few miles from the Falls. It's called Niagara On The Lake. We stayed there a few years ago and it made a welcome change from the hustle and bustle of Niagara itself if you want a little peace and quiet.

I was to Niagra on my honeymoon way back when and you used to be able to go down some tunnels and look at the falls from the inside of the rock looking from the back side, but I believe they have since been closed for various reasons.
Maid of the Mist boat trip was awesome The entire area was lovely. Would love to go back again one day.

Minks -- I believe you are talking about "Journey Behind The Falls"... and it is an attraction that is still open. My sister was just there a few months ago and did the tour.
And I hear from EVERYONE that The Maid of the Mist boat ride is a MUST DO!

I am excited to find this Thread -- we're planning on going to Niagara Falls this summer. I know it'll be the busiest/touristy time to go... but it is the only time we'd be able to make the trip this year. I've done so much "research" on the internet.. I almost feel as tho I've already been there!! LOL My husband and I would love to go ourselves sometime.. (it's only about a 6 hr drive for us).. but this time it'll be family thing -- 2 small kids will be in tow. Since they are so young I am a bit concerned there won't be much for them to do/enjoy... but I'm sure we'll find enuff.
I'm glad to hear that Niagara-on-the-Lake is really as nice as it seems... that is one place I'd like to visit. Also St. Catharines.. which is nearby to N-O-T-L.... Anyone ever go there??
Has anyone gone to MarineLand while in the Niagara Area?? It looks amazing... we're hoping to go there... I think that'd be some place we'd all enjoy alot.
Any other ideas or places to "be sure to see"... Let me know! I'm open to and appreciate any and all suggestions!
(BTW -- we'll be going in July sometime)
