What else is there to do at the Niagara falls other than to look at the Falls?

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.

Go to Canada if you are on the US side....

Um.... maid of the most is pretty cool, there's a thing where you can go to the base of the falls http://www.niagarafallslive.com/images/Catwalk_at_the_Cave_of_the_Winds.jpg
the whirlpool jets.... I've never done that, but it seems really awesome.

Behind the falls on the Canadian side there is a large hill called Clifton Hill that is all just a tourist area basically with restaurants and shopping and things like wax museums. Also you can take the boat that goes close up the falls on the Canadian side or the fun tour where you go through the caves behind the actual falls which is also on the Canadian side.
Try this....

If looking for entertainment, Clifton Hill is the right choice. It is full of small man made attractions, theaters, bars, fast food restaurants, mini golf, arcade games, Imax, Skylon Tower and much more. It is located 15 min from Horseshoe Falls and Table Rock Center.

You can also spend and earn your money in one of the three casinos; gambling. There are two casinos in Niagara Falls Canada, Fallsview Casino resort and Casino Niagara in downtown, and one in US, Seneca Casino.

Dozen of amazing attractions are also available, like Maid of the Mist, Journey Behind the Falls, Spanish Aero Car, golf courses, open almost all year round.

All these attractive places, and recommendations you can find when you follow the link below. It will take you to the very useful guide, that covers Niagara Falls and both Toronto and Niagara on the Lake.

Best One is the "Journey Behind The Falls". Takes you closest to the falls. It is the best way to experience the fall.

You can go to the casinos.

Well there's the city area where you can walk around. There's plenty of attractions there (ie. Ripley's..at least I think that's Niagra Falls lol). CN (or maybe it's Skylon? aghh) Tower is fun, too.
Oh! There's a boat ride (Maid of the Mist) & this other thing where you literally walk RIGHT next to the falls, but if you're sick of the falls, then I guess those 2 things aren't for you.

try going over the falls in barrel or u can walk the tightrope over the falls, swimming in the Niagara river, get drunk in the strip clubs, pick up an escort, go gambling in the casinos...hope that helps
