    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."

    • Maid of the Mist *the boat that RedHedd is talking about*
    • White Water Walk
    • Butterfly Conservatory
    • Ride all day on People Mover buses and Falls Incline Railway
    The reason that it's a good deal is that the Maid of the Mist is $14 by itself

    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!

    I don't think you have to pre order unless it's a coach bus. But we don't have buses around here so I'm not positive. Have fun though the falls is fun and it should be really nice around here when you come.

    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!!
    I love Fenway, JoJo, Olivia and Nonnie!

    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)
