Travel Niagara Falls -- USA Side

[alatrop]

Hello, all!

My husband and I are planning a trip to Niagara Falls in July. We already found a hotel (we get a huge discount, we have a lot of bank points to use!) I am looking for places to eat and things to do....our hotel is in Buffalo.

We will be there for 3 days, 2 nights.

My advice would be to go to the Canadian side and I'm American--just so you know.

Every time I'm in buffalo, I just go to Fashion Outlet and Walden Galleria. Maybe stop by Walmart & Target too!

^2nd that! The view is much more amazing and immediately when you cross over there is an abundance of shops and restaurants--all walking distance.

Where are you from? What kind of an experience are you looking for? Where in Buffalo are you staying? I live in Buffalo & can try to answer any questions you have. There is much more to see & do in Bflo than in NF. After seeing the falls & hitting the outlet stores. There's a new Bflo waterfront with river kayaking, many outdoor concerts & festivals, several
Gardenwalks, AAA baseball right downtown, lots of non-chain restaurants & more than one Frank Lloyd Wright house to see!

I hate to say this, because it's not as easy to cross over to Canada now (do you have a passport?) but the Canadian side has a better view of the Falls and there's a lot more to do. On the American side, you have to look to the left to see part of the Falls, but on the Canadian side you can see the full view, and as others have said, there's many more restaurants and shops on the Canadian side.
