How far away are other attractions from Niagra falls?

Question

We are thinking of a vacation at Niagra Falls. We've heard that the Maid of the Mist is a good idea. What are some other ideas and how far away are they from the actual Falls? Is a week long vacation too long would you only recommend a couple of days?

Answer 1

walking distance,there is all kind of stuff going on in the summer time.It's lots of fun

Answer 2

Well there is the walk behind the falls, there is a new attraction called The Niagara Fury which looks pretty cool.  There is also Clifton Hill (which is very fun, lots of things to do and places to eat) it's about a 10 min walk from the falls.  There is the Skylon tower (about 3 minutes up the hill from the falls).  There is also the spanish aero car which hangs over the Niagara Gorge (maye 10 min drive from the falls) and right near that is the Butterfyl Conservatory.  an indoor rainforest type building with loads of butterflies.  There is also marineland which is fun for kids, although I don't support the way they treat their animals to each their own so feel free to visit there.

Niagara on the lake is a nice trip outside of the craziness of niagara falls.  You can see fort george there (a british fort from the war of 1812).  People dressed up, daily cannon and musket firings and a working kitchen where they make 1812 snacks which are delicious.  NOTL is about 20 min from niagara falls.  This is also wine country, you can do wine tastings or winery tours here.

Toronto is also about an hour to an hour and a half away and there is TONS to do there.

There is a place about 45 minutes away called African Lion Safari which is fun.

Check tripadvisor.com for attractions in all of these places.

Good luck and have fun.
