arriving on a Monday evening and going to magic show; there all day Tuesday & Wednesday with a 12 year old (we are 65); want to do and see as much as we can. Should we book tours or do it ourselves? Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

Better to book a tour or try to do it on your own? Arriving on a Monday evening, going to the magic show; will be there all day Tuesday and Wednesday - leaving on Thursday morning. We have a 12 year old and want to do and see as much as possible (possibly including the aero tram and the jet boat). Suggestion greatly appreciated!

Hi
Planning to spend a few days in Niagra and wish to visit the Outlet Shopping Centre on the US side of the falls. I am a UK citizen and wondered if anyone knew if I needed to apply for an ESTA
Thanks

i am travelling to niagara falls (USA side) and have a friend staying in Canada. do we have any such places near niagara falls, where we can meet . as i dont have a Canadian visa and my friend does not have a us visa.

I am coming from Toronto and looking for 1 nights accommodation - central and nice but not too pricey although if it came with a great view I may consider paying more.

We are leaving to fly from Buffalo the next day at 12.35 so if you also know the best way to get from Niagara to Buffalo airport this would help too - I have been told you can jump a taxi cab and also maybe use a train/bus?
Slightly worried that border control could take a while!

Hi, I am looking to visit Niagara (CA) for the day and then take a flight from Buffalo to NYC that night, how would we go about this without a car?

Is it OK to go just for the day? We will be travelling from Toronto that day. We could possibly stay 1 night and fly NYC the following morning but no point if nothing to do?

It'll be December so other than the actual looking at the Falls (doubt the boat trip will be on) is there anything else to do?

We're heading for Maine later this year, and since we'll be passing so close to Niagara Falls, I'd like to see it. We plan to get to the town of NF, stay for the night, and leave at 10 or 11 the next morning. What's the best way to use our time? Can we get to a good viewpoint at sunrise? Riding the boat can wait for another time - we just want to get a good look and take some pictures.

is there a shuttle bus that goes from the trains station in Buffalo ny to embassy suite in niagra falls

Best month to visit there

Hallo my wife and I will visit Niagara Falls in June. We will arrive Saturday afternoon and depart Monday (not so early) morning. I would like to know would you suggest besides "maiden of the mist" and the Falls. Thank you.

do I need to exchange American currency for Canadian currency before I visit.

I plan on going to the Falls next week. Is it really worth the trip during this time of year? It looks like everything is closed and all the tours are off season. I'm flying in from Ca. to CT. and am planning a day trip to the Falls.

how much is it? and who should i call?

Hi, I am planning to visit Niagara falls from New York on Sat Aug 19th and return back on 20th. I am planning to take Amtrak and so expect to arrive on 19th at about 5pm, but I am not sure which return train to take for Sunday. I have two options: 12:30pm and 2:30pm. Normally I would prefer the latter one but it is a bit costlier. So just wanted to enquire whether I have enough time for the visit to the falls, taking the famous rides there (maid of the mist etc.) and visit a couple of famous places around? Will I be able to fit all these things if I take the 12:30pm train on Sunday? Also wanted to check if someone could suggest a good hotel not too far but not too costly either. Something in the range of50 - 60. A good guesthouse will also be fine. Thanks

What is the best parking lot for Maid of the Mist both price and proximity wise? Thanks

Hi there, I and my girlfriend are planning for a trip there. I have reviewing scripts here, yet I think getting more customized suggestions is precious. Virtualtourist members have helped me a lot in past travels and I believe it will work out just that way this time. So here are our inputs: - Time: 4-5 days - Expect to discover the Falls from both US and Canadian side. - Would love to visit other attractions around the Fall area. Our preference is something natural, such as vineyard, winery, rather than historic like museum or so. But just feel free to make your advice. While there are a pool of recommendations, which we wish to get some, I think we'd love to begin with these: - What are the most valuable places/attractions to join, given that time frame? - Is it better to stay on the US side and spend perhaps one day crossing to Canada to see the Fall? Or will it be better vice versa? - What are some affordable and acceptable places to stay? Thanks :)

Hi, we will be in Niagara Falls for three nights and travelling with small kids , can you please suggest any good hotels aroud that area that are not so expensive? We are interested to do "Maid of the mist" trip and was wondering if advance booking is needed. One day will be driving to Niagara by the lakes. Are their any more major "must" atractions. Saturday we are planning to drive to Toronto , what should we see in Toronto or should we split our trip to Two nights - NF One night - Toronto Any help would be appreciated and I have been hooked to this site since I found it few days ago.

Our flight lands at the Buffalo international airport at 9:00PM and then we plan to drive to our hotel in the Canada side Niagara Falls. My question is it better to wait till to the morning to cross the boarder or is it not a big hassel to cross at night? We are travelling with two small kids. We are a permanent resident of US and I beleive just showing the green card to the boarder officials is sufficient to get entry to Canada from US. any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Will be arriving Niagara Falls on a Saturday afternoon in June. Will be arrivign from Rochester, NY. I understand there are several bridges that can be crossed into Canada. Which bridge is least likely to have a wait time and long lines? Thanks!

Hi All! We are interested in viewing the Niagara fire works tonight and then need to get back to Toronto (Yonge Street). Are there any buses (or casino buses)that will start around 10.30-11 to Toronto? Thanks all! TT!

My wife and I are going to Niagara for 3 days with my parents. On day 1 we plan on a trip up to Niagara on the Lake - I've heard lots of good things about it. Day 2 is slated for the Falls and day 3 (1/2 day due to travel) is left open. Aside from the going behind the Falls and the Maiden of the Mist, any suggestions? Attractions, scenic rides and restaurants would be greatly appreciated.

I want to celebrate my 19th birthday at Niagara (May 5th) but I'm not sure what to do. Some of my friends are still 18 and 17 so clubbing is out of the question since one of them can get caught with their fake id. What else can we do? There is going to be 5/6 of us. We're not big party animals so it doesn't have to do with getting wasted necessarily.

I will be traveling to niagara falls this july. I was wondering what I need for for my grandkids when going across the border.We are US citizens do they need a passport or will birth cert. be ok

Hi I am looking for an English speaking tour company to pick up from NYC and stay overnight in Niagara..we are a party of 6 from Australia travelling in May....seems to be a few around but some advice would be great...a couple of reviews have stated they spoke mainly Chinese or Indian? Thanks...

Is it easy to pick up a day tour (or 2 day tour) to Niagara Falls from Toronto? Keeping to the Canadian side, that is. Any tips on tour companies/prices would be much appreciated, Thanks Betts

I am throwing a bachelorette party for my best friend. I was just wondering if anyone has any fun nightlife ideas for a group of girls all in their 20's?! Also, are there any hotels close to nightlife that anyone would recommend?!
