Niagara Falls Travel Forum

Are there any dueling piano type bars in the area. Even down in Buffalo would be close enough. I can't find anything online about it.
Thanks

I am considering bring a motorcoach tour group to Niagara Falls the 3rd week in April of 2008. I have been to the Niagara Falls area in the Winter and the Fall but never in the early Spring. Is April too early to see any flowers in bloom? Is it too cold for the Maid of the MIst or Journey Behind the Falls? Thank you for your help!

We would like to make a short visit to Niagara Falls on the second Sunday in September. How crowded is the Falls area at that time? Has anyone had experience with crossing the Queenston-Lewiston Bridge in mid to late afternoon? We have some serious time constraints and the options are a short(3-4) hour visit or none at all. We'd love to see the Falls again after a 40-year interval and do The Maid of the Mist but are unsure how realistic this plan is. Also, what is the parking situation? Thanks.

Hi all ! I am a British Citizen.I will be visiting Niagara Falls -Canada- in 2 weeks time.My question is this...can a British Citizen simply walk across Rainbow Bridge over to the American side for an hour or so ? Will there be lots of questions etc by security people? Will I need my passport ? Will I need a visa of some sort and will there be forms to fill in ? I want to spend just an hour or so on the American side of the Falls just so I can say that I have set foot in America ! Hope someone can answer my questions as I am having a very hard time finding out what the rules are .
Cheer and thank you.....Bob

i am hoping you can help me with a blue and red strap that says niagara falls, canada on it, that holds a water bottle.

We have booked a courtyard room at the oaks hotel. Does anyone know if these rooms are ok. We have booked this rooms because it was a special offer on the internet for a very low price.

Best regards,
Claudia

Hi Guys,

We are a groups of Indian students in US on F1 visa. We realize that we need a Canadian visa to view the falls from the Canadian side. We wanted to know if the Consulate at Buffalo is open on Saturdays as we will be reaching there only on Saturday (8/11/07).

The requisite documents needed:

1.) Valid passport with US visa and I94 card
2.) I20 from our university
3.) Proof of enrollment in current semester
4.) 2 passport size photos
5.) Cashier's Check for $75 in the name of "“Consulate General of Canada"

Can you also let us know if we missed out any documents?

Thank you,

Regards,
Gautham.

We are tent campers. Could someone give some suggestions?

I heard that we will get soaking wet on the boat and I am wondering if all of our belongins (purse, etc) will be with us or do they have a place to put these so they won't get soaking wet too?

How far away is Cirque Niagara from the Hilton in Niagara Ontario?

We will be traveling to Niagara Falls in 2 weeks, what is the weather like up there? We have never been to that part of the US/Canada.

Can the journey to "Behind the Falls" be done from US side? or is it only possible from canada side?
If it is possible from US side, could you plese provide me the details.

I heard about a place that is supposed to have the closest views to the falls of any restaurant in town. However, I don't want view at the expense of service or food quality. Does anyone know anything about this restaurant? Would you recommend it?

Greetings:
I have a Saudi Arabian friend. He wants to come to Canada and have his honeymoon at Niagara Falls. He speaks English as a Second Language so, if he comes, I would like him to have as few problems as possible. The time period involved is very flexible. Can anyone suggest a plan for him so he can have a great vacation in Niagara Falls and in Ontario. This trip has been done a million times before so following in someone else's footprints (or copying their "footprints") is no problem. If someone could give me a day-to-day itinerary that they, or someone they knew, followed, it would be greatly appreciated. Post here or email me at:

Kawkabwaheed@yahoo.com

Basically, why re-invent the wheel so any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

We live in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, and will be visiting Niagara Falls, Ontario, after a gap of almost 15 years. I can't remember much except for the Maid of the Mist. Therefore, would like some advice from this forum:

1) Which is the best winery to tour on the Niagara Parkway;
2) Is the Journey behind the Falls, White Water Walk and the Butterfly Conservatory worth visiting? They are all included in the Niagara Falls and Great Gorge Pass along with Maid of the Mist and we were thinking of buying this pass;
3) What are the must see Clifton Hill attractions;
4) Is it worth going on the Niagara Skywheel;
5) Is the 3D/4D movie "Legends of the Niagara" worth seeing? and how about the Skylon Tower? Is it worth going up for the view?
6) We had been to the IMAX during our earlier visit so will be seeing it again as we know it was really worth it.
7) We will be staying at the Days Inn by the Falls, Centre Street. Is that a good hotel?
8) Are pedestrians still allowed to walk across the Rainbow Bridge? What are the attractions on the New York side? (of course we will be carrying our passports)

I would also appreciate if any members of this Forum would suggest some other attractions that I don't know about.

Thank you so much for your time and look forward to your input.

We are planning to go by land to Niagara Falls (USA Side) from New Jersey. We planned to stay for 2 nights. We need a clean but reasonable place to stay either motel or Inn.

I did my research regarding this but it seems all the inns and motels offering reasonable prices (50-60usd a night) have bad reviews.

Any info?

Thanks in advance!
