This will be our first trip there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

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 Edited May 19, 2019 by Angelz AthenA, JohnnyDos, iMC and 3 others 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
