Can anyone share any recommendations. Thinking of going for 4 days, 3 nights and staying on Canada side with a falls view. What are must do activities with kids 5, 7 and 9?

Thanks!

I'd love to do this too! Any reccs for hotels? Mine would be 2, 5& 7. I remember a power tour being fascinating when I was young and of course I would do maid of mist tour. I'd do 2 nights...

I'm doing this instead of camp for a week.

Marriott Fallsview was nice.

We had stayed at Skyline Hotel which is connected to a water park. I probably wouldn't recommend the hotel we stayed in. Our kids did have fun in the waterpark though. It was fairly small and definitely doable in a few hours.

While we were there we also walked around the downtown area and did the big Ferris wheel which was cool and provided nice views of falls.

Thanks for the responses. Do you think 2 nights is enough if we got up early and got there by like 1-2 pm the first day and then stayed a full day on the last? so we would get probably 2.5 days and 2 nights with travel

ETA or do you think we should do 3 nights?

There is the maid of the mist (it's called the hornblower on the Canada side), journey behind the falls which was fun, and the entire street leading up to Niagara Falls which has a ton of mini golf and tourist trap places.

We stayed at the Hilton and really liked it. Great view, amazing restaurants, super close to everything.



In addition to activities already suggested, we loved Bird Kingdom. Hilton Niagara Falls

We went to Niagara Falls over the summer. We stayed at a Country Inn and Suites. Clean, cheap and included breakfast. I think two nights is plenty but it is such a far drive that three makes more sense. I agree with the above post - Hornblower but make sure you purchase tickets ahead of time - the line was insane if you didn't have reservations. Clifton Hill was fun with tons of arcades, wax museums, mini golf and restaurants. The Shy Wheel is also there and that was fun, scary but fun. We also had brunch on top of the Skylon Tower. It is a rotating restaurant and surprisingly the food wasn't horrible and between everything in the tower it killed some time. I would also make it a priority to see the light show at night over the falls.
