Border Crossing Regulations!
by machomikemd
Visitors from the United States currently do not need a passport to enter into Canada. US citizens will however, need proof of citizenship. A US birth certificate, Certificate of Citizenship, or Certificate of Naturalization, are all considered valid documentation. You will also need valid photo identification such as a drivers licence.
Visitors from outside of North America must have a valid passport to enter into Canada. A valid VISA may also be required usually for Non-EU countries except Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Singapore.
Please note when travelling with children you should carry valid identification for each child. Adults travelling with children other than their own must have written consent from the parent or guardian stating that they have permission to be travelling with the children.
Visitors bringing their pets with them will require documentation as well. Dogs and cats that are at least three months old need valid certificates from their veterinarian confirming that they have been vaccinated against rabies within the last three years. Dogs and cats that are younger than three months old do not need a rabies vaccination certificate to enter into Canada.
Waterproof Camera, ect....
by kazander
Comfy walking shoes, the parking lots are a good ways away from where you want to go. You may also want to bring a jacket or sweatshirt even in the warmer months, the evenings get chilly. Along with our regular line up of cameras, we brought along a little waterproof camera to take on the Maid of the Mist and the Journey Behind the Falls
Gamblers Heaven
by Allikatac about Casino Niagara
Casino Niagara is THE place to gamble at Niagara. There's multitudes of slot machines that are always ringing somewhere (just not where I happened to be sitting). Make sure to bring an ID, they are very strict , they thought mine was a fake!
Chinese food at Niagara Falls
by SWFC_Fan about Lotus Garden Restaurant
I had dinner at the Lotus Garden Chinese restaurant on the afternoon that I visited Niagara Falls as a daytrip from Toronto in February 2006.
Lotus Garden is a large restaurant, but I was the only diner in there at the time of my visit. It is located on Centre Street, just off Victoria Avenue at the top of Clifton Hill. It is a 10-15 minute walk from the restaurant to the edge of the Falls.
Upon first seeing the menu, I thought that the restaurant was very expensive (circa 10 CAD for a bowl of soup), but then I noticed the lunchtime specials (6.99 CAD) and a host of other special set menu meals (8-10 CAD).
The lunchtime special meals include a main dish (chicken/beef/pork stir frys), fried rice, a spring roll and a choice of sweet and sour chicken balls or chicken wings.
The food was well cooked, tasty and served in large portions. The waiting staff were friendly and efficient. I opted for one of the more expensive special set menu meals. For 10 CAD + taxes I got:
Wanton soup
A bowl of thin soup with peppers and two prawn wantons. Served with a plate of crispy bits to dip into the soup.
Large spring roll
Large plate of chicken fried rice
3 chicken balls in a sweet and sour sauce
Kung Po shrimp stir fry
The food was excellent, served piping hot and in large portions.
To drink, I had a 340ml bottle of Molson Canadian beer (3 CAD + tax).
Breakfast Buffet
by shargurl about T.G.I.Friday's
For a quick breakfast, we went to TGIFriday's which was located across the street from our hotel. It was a pretty standard buffet breakfast, nothing too spectacular. But it was quick and easy and close by. Prices were $8.99/CDN and $7.50/USD Best bite to grab were the french toast sticks!
