Richard,

I think that you all would like the creation museum. They wouldn't be too far out of your way, and no matter what religious background you come out of. I think that you would enjoy it. Be warned, it is a very busy place http://creationmuseum.org/. If you go make sure to do the planetarium.

God bless,

John

Richard, Dianne and me went there on our first trip together, (Not with a bus).
We said we would do the Canadian side forst, then do the American side.  We got there in the noonish area, and never made it to the American side.
It was GREAT!
Deffinately do the Maid of The Mist boat ride to just under the falls!  It was GREAT, 3 years later we still talk about it.  (Bring a dry bag for your camera!)
A trip to a Tim Horton's restaurant is worth the time.  
In Buffalo try to go by a Wagmon's Supermarket!  WOW!!!
Don't even think about bringing a gun into Canada!
HAVE A BALL!

Hi Richard, I had the pleasure of seeing Niagra Falls last August while working a job in Canada. It's quite and amazing site, you will enjoy the visit.

This was taken from the Canadian side looking over to the American side.



Have a wonderful safe trip,

Paul

While at Niagra Falls, go see the old electric power plant. It is one of the oldest in continuous duty since it was built (I believe over 100 years old).  Good Luck, TomC

Richard,

One other thing. We also did the maid of the mist, and the cave of the winds tour (on the US side it is just a boardwalk that goes under a small portion of the falls). We got soaking wet on that tour, but dried quickly and enjoyed it. We also went up in the tethered helium balloon, and that was neat.

It would have been nice to go to the Canadian side, but we didn't have the time.

God bless,

John

Richard,

If your going to Canada now, you need a passport or enhanced licence. Where are you staying while you are here ? I would suggest Four Mile Creek State campground. We stay there often and its convienent to everything with plenty of sites that are bus friendly.

Theres also Fort Niagara to see and The Whirlpool Jet Boat Rides. Let me know if theres anything we can do for you. We are only mins from the falls..

I second what Travelingfools said and stay at Four Mile Creek.  We've stayed there a couple times since the early 90's and definitely recommend it.

Have fun and take plenty of pics.

Rick
