Had a great week at Niagara Falls on the Canadian side. Would definitely recommend staying on the Canadian side and not the US side. We stayed at the Brock and had a balcony room. Location was awesome, overlooking the Falls and very close to Clifton Hills, Ziplining and a lot of the other attractions, We were there from July 8th through the 13th, and it was crowded but very manageable. I highly suggest getting a hotel with the view of the Falls. You can then see the nightly fireworks that last about 5-10 minutes from your room and not deal with the crowds. Although the fireworks were short, they were very good.
Mark gave us a very informative talk about the history of the falls. We all learned some new things and had a very nice tour. I love that I didn’t have to wait in line for my tickets!
