Niagara Falls is BEAUTIFUL, but can be expensive.
by NiagaraLinda
I've lived in Niagara Falls for many years and met people from all over the world. Many have said it it the most breathtaking view they have ever seen. Niagara Falls can be very expensive though and if you are planning to come here, you should really plan ahead and do your homework. There is a blog site that you may find helpful. It explains how to find a hotel that suits your needs, whether you are traveling to Niagara Falls or any other tourist destination. Niagara Falls is really a place that is beautiful and I think that everyone should see it at least once in their lifetime. Check out this info.

Skylon Tower
by kris-t
Niagara's highest and most spectacular view - 775 ft. above the Falls. The awe-inspiring panorama will take your breath away. Ride one of exterior glass enclosed elevators to the indoor\outdoor Observation Deck The tower features three outside mounted "Yellow Bug" elevators. At the time of their construction they were the first such elevators in Canada.
The tower has two restaurants at its top, the lower Revolving Dining Room and the upper Summit Suite Buffet. The RDR seats 276 people and revolves once every hour (a 3 horsepower motor is required to rotate the floor). An observation deck sits at the tower's summit. The base of the tower features a number of gift shops, fast food restaurants and a large amusement arcade. A floor for conventions is also available, but has been seldom utilized in recent years.
Don't Miss It!

I love Niagara-on-the-Lake! A trip to the Falls isn't complete without a visit. I personally like the area MUCH better than the Falls! With nice little shops, restaurants and bed-and-breakfasts, it's night-and-day compared to the chaos of Clifton Hill, but only about a 10-15 minute drive away!

when you get off the train in niagara(coming from the usa) if you wait just outside the main doors there is a cab company that collects regularly, the drivers agreat, the service prompt and price very reasonable
Table Rock Restaurant - Can't beat the view
by AcornMan about Table Rock Restaurant
Table Rock Restaurant is located in the complex right on the edge of the Horseshoe Falls, offering a spectacular view while you eat. The food is pretty lame, but where else can you dine with a view like this?
You'll almost certainly need reservations during peak hours, and especially during the high season for tourists.
