Niagara Falls, NY anyone?

[pinkdot]

Hey everyone!

My 2nd wedding anniversary is coming up in summer and I'm planning on going to Niagara Falls, NY. This will be a two day trip and I haven't been there yet. So I need suggestions for hotels to stay at and what attractions are the best.

This place is not definite so other suggestions are welcome. I'm looking for a weekend or weekdays getaway, some place that is affordable, not looking to spend more than $1000 for two people. If you have any suggestions, please do share. Thanks in advance.

^ does it have to be on the U.S. side? I can help you out with Niagara Falls in Canada..we have lots of hotels and 2 casinos here. I know there is the one casino on the U.S. side but the new fallsview one is really nice here.

Also on the Canadian side you can go to Niagara-on-the-lake for the wine tours..its really nice. Peller Estates is really well known and here is the link:

We just stayed at Holiday Inn (US side), and it was fine. I don't like spending lots of money on hotels-- I'd rather spend it on food/shopping/entertainment. As long as the hotel is clean and safe, I'm happy

We did the Maid of the Mist ride and it was fun, but WET. You have to wear these dorky ponchos, but I loved it. I definitely recommend it! There's an aquarium, parks, museums.. normal touristy stuff. I also hear there's prime outlets nearby, but I didn't go.

OMG dont stay on the American Side. Its really like a dump compared to the Canada side. We take our family to Niagara falls every few years for a WEEK! There is so much to do!!

Oh yes - the only attraction at Niagara Falls NY is the Outlet mall - and its NOTHING compared to any other outlets in the area - its a complete snoozefest. If I don't go to school in Buffalo, I won't even stop by at all (I stop there for gas LOL)

I say if you are going to go that far up near the Canadian Border then I would suggest you to cross it and see the Horseshoe falls (something the US side does not have) - and it should still be within your budget as there are economical hotels there as well.
