We are planning a trip to Toronto next year and going to see Niagara Falls,  was going to fly to Buffalo,  New York,  but I would have to catch a connecting flight,  does anyone have any tips or ideas on what to do and see in the area besides the falls? This will be our first trip there!

If your planning a trip at this time of year May - September then it's a perfect time.

If you are flying into Buffalo you could rent a car there and just go across the peace bridge into Niagara Falls Canada.  It is only a 45 min drive from Buffalo airport. There are a lot of things to do in Niagara Falls. At the falls there is Maid of the Mist, tunnels that go directly under the falls and a platform you can stand out on that you can look up at the water coming down. If you stay until night time you will will see the falls light up with colours. There are museums, Brock monument, flower clock, tons of restaurants, 2 towers, casinos, hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, shops and so much more.

Toronto is about 1 1/2 hours from Niagara Falls. There you have the Canada's Wonderland, CNE,  CN Tower, Toronto island, restaurants and hotels galore. I only live a half hour from Toronto and I do not know much about it because I do not like it there. Way way too many one way streets and people. lol

On top of what Angelz said, Niagara-on-the-Lake is beautiful area as well.  Depending on how long your planning your trip for, there are wineries you can tour as well as an old war fort, Fort George.  It's a nice drive along the Niagara parkway or if you visit the Brock monument, you keep driving past and drive down the backside of the escarpment.  I grew up in Niagara (been 30years since I moved away) but lots of things to see and do so would suggest googling and plan some ideas based on the time you plan on staying.

We are famous for a food. some real good restaurants.  The CN Tower obvious ..Casa Loma is not bad. Caribana is always a good time.. Catch a Jays game.. The island is great on a summer day..

But really Niagara has a LOT of goodies too..
