POLL! Niagara falls for a vacation!?

I live in New York and go to Niagara falls a lot, and I still don't get bored.

1) Marineland Theme Park - It's pretty close to the falls and features live sea creatures and shows, as well as many rides and games.

2) Walk the streets of Niagara- There are many awesome shops and restaurants such as the Hard Rock and the Rain Forest Cafe. Also many fun places like Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum, as well as other entertainment places (Mazes, Guinness World Records, "Fun" House, etc.).

3) Take falls viewing to an extreme- To have more fun with the falls, ride the famous Lady of the Mist boat ride, or take a tour under the falls. You could also dine or visit the Skylon Tower which provides and excellent view of the falls, from way up high.

4) Enjoy the culture- If you can try to catch a hockey game or two, it's an awesome sport. Or take a trip to a nearby forest and take pictures. It's really a beautiful country.

Hope I helped!

I went back in 06 and I had a great time...u can ride the maid of the mist which is a tug boat that takes u basically right under the falls...also that have the gave of the winds that where u take a bunch a flight of stairs closer and closer to the falls until u get to the last part which is the hurricane deck and it really feel like ur in the middle of a hurricane because of the high winds and waters pushing u back...lol the also have the speed boat ride that takes you through all the current which is very scary!!! um there also the senica mirage which is a huge casino that was fun...theres so many gift shops...souvinior stores and you also can see the falls at night they do a color display on them and on fridays fireworks, its so beautiful!!! The only thing I didnt like was their was only a few restraunts on the NY side that was hard rock and denny's and some indian restraunts so we ate at hard rock alot...lol Ok now that Canada side where to begin?? Just put it to u this way you will not be bored at all over there they have everything!!!! ripley's believe it or not mueseum was awesome, planet hollywood was cool, they hav so many famous stores, soo many haunted house which I didnt understand that because it was in august but they were year long haunted houses....sorry for going on and on but believe me u will have tons of fun!!!

Well just a heads up, when I went there it was like a mini Las Vegas. The streets had these big buildings with all these crazy lights and casinos and theatres. The falls were the only natural thing around there! And everything was extremely expensive! And it gets so crowded that they put up signs reading "Watch for pick-pocketers." But if you like the whole 5 million people, can't get a seat at a restaurant, breakfast costs $80, the whole city looks like Las Vegas, then you will like it. If you don't, then I wouldn't recommend going there.

And yeah, food was really expensive. I ordered chicken fingers and it was $20!! For dang chicken fingers! And the next day breakfast cost $80!! For 4 people.

I live in Niagara Falls and there's lots to do. No malls but you can

walk around

go up the skyline

the Ferris wheel

Arrow car (or what ever it's called)

helicopter ride $$$

There's also Clifton Hill which has the tourist attractions (wizards golf, midway, rainforest cafe, fudge factory, ripleys)

Table rock

The falls itself

The hornblower

Behind the falls

IMAX

There's lots to do but you'll want to have lots of money cause everything is overpriced.

I love Niagara Falls... there is tones to do... there is Cliff ton hill which is full of stuff to do.. you can go on the maid of the mist which gets you really close to the falls .. you can go to the casino( if your old enough) there is Marineland... On Cliffton hill there is Ripley's believe it or not museum, there is a haunted house, there is the wrestling place ( if you like wrestling) restaurants, and lots of stores... and soo much more..

yah that sounds a little boring. i drive up to canada for vacations. i drive to montreal, it is a wonderful city. and if your 18 then you can drink there. and in the city people still speak french but about 99% of the people speak perfect english too. it's fun to try and go through the whole day only speaking french. it is tres amusant (very funny).

good luck!

I have not been there in a very long time, but that is a very good trip to take. There is alot of things to do for the family there, before you go check the websites and plan your trip. they have rafting, camping, hiking and more. Enjoy your trip with your family is top.

ohmygosh i love niagara!

not only is the scenery lovely, but they have tons of things to do.

i know they have haunted houses (scared myself half to death when i was little), shopping, and some other cool stuff. the hotels are really nice too. if you do get bored, you can always sneak off to buffalo.

When my family, we drove up to Canada, and went camping. There are a bunch of great camp sites on the lakes. We went to one on Lake Superior, and it was so beautiful.

i was there on a family vacation, but that was in 1958, long before you were born. i have no clue what is there now in the way of entertainment/amusement/souvenirs.
