Things to do at Niagara Falls Canadian side?

The Table Rock complex is the site of the Journey Behind the Falls attraction and the newer Niagara's Fury attraction. Anybody who goes to Niagara Falls has to ride on The Maid of The Mist at least once. I would add a mention for Marineland, the Butterfly Conservatory and Bird Kingdom. Each furthers the nature theme set by the falls in their own way.

How about eating a meal up in either of the Skylon Tower's windowed restaurants and finishing with a visit to the observation deck? The meals in the Revolving Dining room start at $25 for lunch and $40 for dinner. The Summit Suite Dining Room's lunch buffet is $28 and the dinner buffet is $35-$40. Those prices include free admission to the observation deck, so that's worth about a third of your meal price. Another meal choice might be to eat at Elements on the Falls in that previously mentioned remodeled Table Rock complex. They boast that they are the "Closest Restaurant to the Falls". Their lunches start at $16 and dinner ranges between $18-$30. When considering these prices, keep in mind that you're at either place for the spectacle and the surroundings as much as you're there for the food.

Clifton Hill describes itself as "The Avenue of Fun" at Niagara Falls. It has many attractions, shops and restaurants. Some of my favorite stops would be the SkyWheel, the Great Canadian Midway, the Guinness Book of World Records Museum and the Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum, but there are many more attractions, shops and restaurants to choose from.

Along with both the city's casinos, there are other attractions and shopping nearby both of them. It's a short walking distance from Fallsview Casino to the Skylon Tower, the IMAX Theatre, the Daredevil Gallery and an official National Geographic store. Casino Niagara is a short walking distance from an official Coca-Cola store (complete with a full-service ice cream Coke fountain), an official Hershey Chocolate store, the Hard Rock Cafe, Planet Hollywood and Clifton Hill. A 2-3 mile trip heading away from the falls on Lundy's Lane will find Canada One Factory Outlets and its 40 brand name (mainly fashion) stores, if bargain, name brand shopping is your thing.

I went there a few times, its a great view. I say take PLENTY of pictues, and take the boat ride on the water, its very fun. Drink some cofee or whatever you like and just hang out there. Also dont forget to visit Marineland, its like a rollercoaster/zoo park, very interesting.

If you're into butterfly's there is an awesome place on site where you get to go in to the atrium and they come and land on you.

If you can get there, a few kilometres away is the village called Niagara on the Lake. It's a gorgeous little town full of quaint shops, theatres, gardens and parks, and wineries. There are many wineries and orchards in the area where you can get lovely fresh fruit. There are many cute bed & breakfasts in which to stay, and lots of big, lovely houses to stare at.

You will want to go to Clifton Hill. It's a big long street with various attractions. Living there, I've been in most of them. Check out Ripley's Believe It Or Not, the Great Canadian Midway, and the Skywheel (giant ferris wheel). There's also a Build-a-bear up there, a moving theatre, haunted houses, a bunch of candy stores and chocolate shops, and restaurants. Expect alot of traffic though!!

Like other people have mentioned, you could go to Marineland. I find it pretty lousy there, probably because I've been there at least 10 times. It's pretty pricy too. But if you have kids, you should go. It has kiddy rides all the way up to a big steel rollercoaster.

You should definately make the trip to Niagara-on-the-Lake, a nearby town. It's really quaint and has plenty of boutiques and beautiful scenery. There are alot of places around there to go wine tasting as well.

Also just a heads-up; if you are planning to go shopping at the Niagara Square, save yourself some time and go to the Pen Centre in St. Catherines instead. Our mall is terrible.

have fun at the casino
go to the NY site and find the controversial Love canal community site
(Love Canal is a neighborhood in Niagara Falls, New York, which became the subject of national and international attention, controversy, and eventual environmental notoriety following the discovery of 21,000 tons of toxic waste buried beneath the neighborhood. Love Canal officially covers 36 square blocks in the far southeastern corner of the city, along 99th Street and Read Avenue)
