Tell Brian zucker that there is plenty to do in both Niagara Falls and Toronto.
Toronto is best known as the most diverse city in the world with more than 100 different nationalities. There are two Chinatown's as well as Polish and Greek areas of the city. There is an annual Caribana festival that draws over 100,000 people to the city of Toronto .The populations blend beautifully and provide both shopping and dining opportunities for all types of food.
Toronto is a walking city so bring good shoes and plan on spending miles of walking. The entertainment district, Queen Street West ,Greek town , the Beach, and The waterfront area are all wonderful discovery zones with lots to see and do.
Toronto is also the Broadway of the north so make sure you look at the show schedule and possibly find a play or show that meets your interest. There are also several comedy clubs and a Second City so that may interest you.
Niagara Falls offers the natural wonder and beauty of seeing one of the great wonders of the world. in addition to that, the area is surrounded by the charming village of Niagara on the lake and an extremely active wine region.
Although the Canadian side offers the best view of the falls from across the river, bring your passport so you can wander across to the US side for a trip on the Maid of the Mist and the Cave of the Winds attractions at Goat Island State Park.
Another must do ride is the Whirlpool JetBoats that travel from Niagara-on-the-Lake into the rapids below the falls. Make sure you get your tickets online to save a few dollars.
There are two Canadian casinos and one on the US side so if gambling is your thing, make sure to stay nearby. In addition to that there is a vast wine region centered around the nearby village of Niagara on the lake. With over 50 wineries in the immediate area and a wine map to follow along the wine trail you will easily find samples that meet your taste... The village offers boutique shopping and several dining options as well as a beautiful view of Lake Ontario.
Tell Brian zucker to have a nice trip and enjoy Toronto and Niagara Falls.

Two full days in Niagara Falls is more than enough unless you disapper into the casino. However many of the things that might interest you are outside this small city, for instance Niagara-on-the-Lake, requiring a car to get around. Toronto is an entirely different tourist experience and can soak up all the time you can give it (and it has an effective public transit system.)
