Toronto

Is that the cheapest way to travel? Hmm, dont think my friends will go for that. I may end up going alone lol. I REALLY want to see it, but we're on sorta a budget haha. We're planning on going to the CN Tower, shopping, and a few other things. We;re only going a week, 3 days of which are the convention. However, if I only get to do one thing there, it's gotta be Niagara Falls.

Thanks for all the info!

I'm sure a FEW people there will want to see the Falls. (the tourist area is tacky, but the falls themselves are amazing!)

Maybe several of you could split gas costs and Rent-A Wreck!

I honestly don't know that anyone else in my group cares if we go there...I mean I'm sure they'd like to see it but they don't have a ton of money. Also, I dont think any of us are over 25 to rent a car

DO go on the Niagara Falls tour package thingie and go on the Maiden of the Mist boat tour - it's SO much fun and worth however much it is. I went a couple of years ago and will never forget it as I slipped and fell and broke my foot just as we were getting on the Maiden of the Mist boats. I was more upset at breaking my camera than my foot and continued with the tour while my foot swelled! I ended up taking pics with my cell phone and now have one as my cell phone's "wallpaper."

How much does it cost to do the boat thing? that takes you right up to the falls or something?? is there a park or something you go into to look at the falls or whatever? how much is that?

Go see a Blue Jays game (or, if they aren't in town, take the stadium tour)! Go to Eaton Centre ... see what you can of the Art Gallery of Ontario while it is being renovated ... I love Toronto because my sister's former next-door neighbor grew up there and gave an "insider" list of things to see and do the first time we visited.

Do I need to preorder my bus tickets? Also, are there different bus stations that go different places? How far away is the bus station that goes to Niagra Falls from the Double Tree hotel? I'm going next week...getting nervous!

OMG! That's awful!

I loved the Maiden of the Mist. We went during a hot & humid period and that water felt soooooooooooooo good. I also enjoyed the tour Journey Behind the Falls. That was awesome. The Butterfly Conservatory was awesome too.

I LOVED Niagra Falls. One of my best vacations.

Can't wait to see pictures!!

OUCH!

When I went for the first & only time (last fall), they were doing a body parts rescue from a jumpper 3 days earlier.. ewwww As morbid as it is, we all took photos of the rescue (no gross pics)
