What is a must see in Niagara Falls and what is not worth it?

Show all answers

Superb

Obviously the falls. There's a museum, Ripley's Believe it or Not, which is pretty cool too. If you're looking for restaurants, definitely go to this Italian place... it's called Mama's something. I forget the full name, but you'll see advertisements for it everywhere. Don't bother going to the wax museum, stimulation rides, or the planetarium though, those weren't worth it.

WHAT

make sure you see the aviary at the border.

naturally the falls themselfs and take the boat ride into the falls itself ! Fantastic . Make sure you go over to the Canadian site ! It is prettier and cleaner on that side . Tha falls look beautiful at night all lightened up. From the canadian site you will be able to see bridal falls better . Have fun ! I have spend my Honeymoon there and loved it !

Canadian Side of the Falls

HONORARIUS

Worth it...
the Maid of the Mist...
Butterfly Conservatory
Aviary, or whatever they call the place with the birds...
you MUST see the falls from both sides, the American and Canadian...
Skylon Tower
Clifton Hill has some fun stuff, like a wax museum and a Ripley's Believe it or Not...

Not worth it...

Journey Behind the Falls --- REALLY not impressed...
MarineLand... Not bad, but you can do a lot of other stuff for the teh 40 bucks it would cost

Niagara Falls is pretty small, so it won't take you long to see everything there...
The Falls are obviously the main attraction, but the casino is good, and so are some of the little museums and such.
There is a lot to see along the main strip, but beware of some of the cheesier attractions... Ripley's Believe It Or Not, etc. (they are expensive and not worth it).
I would just take the time to walk around and take it all in...
Happy Anniversary!

the falls themselves

As for the area immediately around the Falls itself, the Answerers who advise that you stay on the Canadian side should be heeded, but even much of the Canadian side is kitchy. After you've seen the Falls and taken the boat its pretty much like any other touristy place but with a casino.

I suggest you will find staying in the picturesque town of Niagara on the Lake more conducive for your romance. For other things to do in your few days: wine tasting in the vineyards strip along Lake Ontario roughly between the Niagara River and Grimsby (where several small rivers and streams also cascade over the Niagara Escarpment; I personally think they are prettier than the mighty Niagara Falls because most of them are in the woods) and if you are from far away certainly you should visit Toronto, now the world's most multi-cultural city (yes! More than N.Y.C. or L.A..) with theater and other performing arts probably second in North America to N.Y.C.

The falls of course, also take a drive around niagra on the lake. stop and eat at one of the quaint resturants, also stop at the chocolate place on the right going in, the chocolate dipped strawberries are awesome.
It is quite expensive eating and staying in the area where the falls are. The resturant over looking the falls, really expensive, not worth the money... Take a umberella and a mac, as you could get wet.
