Need help planning a Niagara Falls Trip

[Lakeview Bulldog]

IM planning a trip for me and a couple of my friends to Niagara Falls Ontario. I need some help finding things to fill up the weekend. I was there about two months ago. I went to a couple places like Rippley's and the Wild Mushroom (Which I think is the best bar in the whole town) I would just basically like some cool bars, restaurants, and attractions to go to. I would love to take a beer tasting tour if anyone knows of any of those types of things up there. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Glad to see peeps heading down to my neck of the woods

I would suggest you try the skyline tower, take a walk along the niagara river from the falls lookout, to the whirlpool, its a nice walk, and the whirlpool is cool as well. As for bars, I'm not sure if it's still there, but try to hit a place called Rumors, pretty good, been drunk there a few times. If you are into it, a wine tatsing tour is a definate must, niagara has some of the best wine in the world, and has many awards to prove it. Basically, there is tons to do, just wander around, or even hit the visitors information center, they can point you in better direction.

Clifton Hill is the place with ripleys etc, recommend going there. As I am underaged, I can't really tell you where the good bars are located. I am not sure how old you are, but they just got the new casino running. From what I hear, it is amazing(if you like blowing money anyway). As for looking at the falls, there is a constant mist which is nearly a rain; so if one of those friends is a girl her hair will go crazy..Try maid of the mist, which is a boat which travels at the bottom of the falls; you get to see some cool stuff. And remember, come to the Canada AO meet in september :)

Depending on the time of week/ time of year you're going, its worth looking into either a wine tasting tour, or just hitting up a bunch of the local vinyards. I don't really drink wine, but I accidently wound up in Niagara with a couple of friends the same weekend as the official taste testing tour a couple of years ago, and had a lot of fun trying 4 or 5 different samples of all sorts of unusual/unique wines at each one of half a dozen or so vinyards. I'm pretty sure there were around 50 stops if you did the entire tour.

Ask around at the local tourism info centre, they'll have brochures for all sort of neat stuff (and if you're too cheap to get stay in a hotel, there's a decent youth hostel a couple of blocks away from the falls - lots of crazy europeans).

make sure you stay on the new york side, otherwise you might not get mugged.

the best white wines grown on the east coast are vastly superior to the best of the reds grown on the west. if you are into whites, this is probably one of the top three areas in the world to taste them.
