If you’re going to fly, I suggest you fly into Buffalo, NY as the airport is closer to the falls. Of course depending from where you are driving from it may also be closer to drive to Buffalo and then cross into Canada to stay. NinjaNeer is correct the Canadian side offers much nicer places to stay with much better views of the falls at night.
Visiting the falls you should visit both the American and Canadian side as they both have a lot to offer. Get a visitor’s guide to the falls as there are many other attractions around the area on both sides of the falls. If you are driving to the falls and going through upstate New York or the Trans Canadian Highway there are a great many attractions along the way you might want to stop and see deepening on how much time you have for your trip.
IF your family is a member of AAA they can be of a big help in planning a road trip to the Falls.

If you're planning on going to Niagara Falls, you'll want to come to Canada instead. The American side isn't nearly as built up as the Canadian side, and the Horseshoe Falls that everyone thinks of are actually in Canada!
It's located about a 3 hour drive from Toronto. It's not a huge city, and it's pretty touristy. Just steer clear of Marineland (a popular marine animal attraction that's been accused of abuse) and watch for the tourist traps. If you're coming in the summer, try to get on the Maid of the Mist boat, because it's really cool. The Behind the Falls attraction is really neat as well. Just be warned; in the summer it's insanely busy and quite expensive.
Niagara Falls itself is gorgeous, and I feel pretty spoiled to live nearby! Even as someone who goes there multiple times a year, I still think it's fantastic.
If you're coming to the area, I'd strongly suggest just doing Niagara for a couple days and then getting away to somewhere less congested. There's so much to see nearby, and it's a shame that so many people go to a small town and then go home right away. Try to spend some time in Toronto, or even get away to cottage country for a while!
