Whether you are on the American side or the Canadian side, you could go on the Maid of the Mist, or the Cave of the Winds. Thats always fun!! =) ]
I would hope they mean you are going to the Canadian side of the Falls. I have never known why but Niagra Falls, NY is pretty much dead with nothing there in the way of anything let alone an attraction. You will need passports and all of that before going--goes without saying.
Aside from Maid of The Midst Niagra Falls is loaded with quirky musiums. The famous of all of them is Madame Tusades (sp?) They have shrunk in size in recent years but have a ton of famous people in there and did (I don't know if they kept it) have a horror section.
There are if you have never been the whole wanted posters and goofy over the falls in a barrel photos and whatnot. There is an excellent museum I cannot remember the name that traces history of the area and ancient eygpt too.
Skyline Tower costs too much and avoid the Fun House and the stupid musuem with alien beings royal rip off. At the top of Clifton Road 4-5 across from Tusades is I think it's called Movieland. You will know this wax museum by two things--all the moveposters lined up on the wall and unless they moved it in the entrance Marilyn Monroe with the famous skirt scene.
Inside the museum is a ton of famous movie scenes and stars in wax. It is a really good museum to go to. There is also a Criminals Hall of Fame. Avoid it, it's a rip-off and besides people should not profit off the crimes of Jeffrey Dalhmer and his ilk. Who wants Charles Manson jumping out in the dark on them? Tjis museum still exists but should not.
Why is Canada better? Well the Falls on our side is larger and New York's is more like a regular waterfall. ]
Spend most of your time on the Canadian side (if not all of it) The view is better and there is waaay more too do.
There is the maid of the mist where you can take a boat ride right up near the falls. The Maid of the Mist runs untill October. You can also walk underneth and behind the falls and that is open all year round.
There the Skylon tower which has a really nice observation deck and the Butterfly Conservatory with hundreds and hundreds of butterflys flying all around you.
Those are my favorite things to do. There is also a lot of shopping and pretty gardens if you walk along right by the falls.
Hope you all have fun! ]
sight seeing is fun. also shopping. try looking up oline for some really fun places to go. i think just walking around and trying new stuff as you see it is the most fun there.also maybe plan like a scavendure hunt. give everyone group a camera (like 5 to a group and a chaperone) and look for things that canada is known for and stuff ]
if you go to niagara falls on the candian side you would have a ton of fun! im like 1% canadian, but anyways.. lol i love the niagara falls there, there's a ton of amusment there! they have like ripleys believe it or not! there, and stuff, its really fun and entertaining. i love it! good luck! ask me more questions~! ]
