Any tips on traveling to Niagara Falls Canadian Side from Buffalo?

Question

Will be arriving at Buffalo airport, then need to travel to Canadian side to stay in hotel. Any tips, we won't be renting a car. Can you visit all attractions from Canadian side without a car?

Answer 1

You can definitely visit most of the sites without a car.

The town itself is packed with things to do... wax museums, a Ripleys, a casino, arcades, restaraunts, shopping.... And you can walk everywhere.

Then there are the falls of course, the natural whirl pool, the flower clock.... all within 5 miles of each other.

Have a great trip!

Answer 2

yea, there's taxies in the city part. but i have to warn you, i was Bord as h**l when i went to Canada. We went to to see Niagara Falls, and that's all we did. There was nothing really left to do, except parade around China Town. Although i was 7 at the time and i was with my family **annoying** And if your going in july, Canda is surprisily hot. >.> well anyway good luck^^

Answer 3

It depends on how far your hotel is from downtown..

Once downtown (by the falls) everything is right together.. Ripleys, Hard Rock Cafe, the Casino, Skyon tower, etc.  The 3D rides are fun but short and expensive... The haunted house type places are a joke, don't bother.  

Your best exchange rate is usually at the casino..

Answer 4

under no circumstances think it's a good idea to go over in a barrel

Answer 5

sure there's a nice downtown (it's touristy, but affordable....), everything walking distance.  depends how long you are staying but don't forget taxis and so forth.  as i recall we could walk pretty much to everywhere from our downtown hotel.  it wasn't the ritz carlton, but it was clean and convenient.  we didn't use our car very much at all.

i think there are also bus trips to take you here there and everywhere (for a price of course, like sightseeing).

Answer 6

The Buffalo Niagara airport is about a 30 mile drive (and a delay at the border) from what would be considered downtown Niagara Falls, Ontario.  Mostly everything is within a 0.5-1 mile walk once in NFO.

Answer 7

Yes, just don't go out swimming in the Falls
