Dollars to Loonies Exchange
by miwhi
We just returned from Niagara Falls Canada, had a wonderful time and learned a few things.
It isn’t necessary to exchange your USA dollars for Canadian dollars as we didn’t find a single business that wouldn’t take USA dollars for par (1$ to 1$), but be warned you only receive your change in Canadian currency. This is not a problem except on the day you are heading Home and don’t want to get stuck with a bunch of Canadian dollars and change.
We found the best and friendliest place to exchange currencies USA to Canadian and visa versa was at Casino Niagara’s cashier’s booth, it was fast, friendly and there was no pressure to gamble if you didn’t want to. Seeing the Falls lit up at night on the Canadian side is a memory fo a lifetime.
Killer Whales, Marineland
by kris-t
killer whales are actually friendly here. you'll have the rare opportunity to see, first-hand, just how affectionate, as well as incredibly intelligent, these beautiful friendly giants of the sea really are.
Butterfly Conservatory
by TimDaoust
How amazing was this? It's a bit expensive to get in (like $10 a person) but well worth it. They usher you in to see a five minute video about butterflies and then you walk into this huge greenhouse with hundreds of butterflies and moths floating around. They even will land on you if you're still.
One thing to note is that if you're here in the winter time, it's a lot hotter inside than out so don't bother with the coat or you'll be carrying it around. they instruct you also not to touch the butterflies. Stay tuned for a travelogue with the best of my pictures.

Tasty pizzas
by davidlop about Don't remember
A typical sports bar, but they serve pretty good american style pizzas, and you have a good span of beers to choose. Of course, if you like watching sports, then it has a big attractive also... Pizzas are tasty and not too heavy for a lunch.
