Another factor... how long do you want to spend in a casino.
And... do you want to go to a play in Niagara on The Lake? That could add an evening.
It's only a couple of hours at most from Niagara Falls or Niagara on the Lake to Toronto, so you could enjoy a play and then still drive to Toronto, checking into your Toronto hotel before midnight.

I would suggest you decide exactly what it is you want to do in Niagara Falls before deciding how many days to spend there.
Here is a link that lists the Canadian side attractions: http://www.niagaraparks.com/
Here is a link that lists the US side attractions:

The first time I went, I followed the "one day is all you need" rule and felt like I didn't get the chance to enjoy it. Others spend a day there and can't get away quick enough.
Figure out what attractions hold an interest to you and then figure 1-3 attractions per day. That will tell you how long you should reserve for Niagara Falls.

20 minutes.
only half kidding - niagara falls is very much like a cheap version of atlantic city (if you know what i mean) overpriced crappy restaurants, cheesy tourist attractions etc... the falls themselves are beautiful, but after a few pictures and a coffee on a park bench watching thats about all you need.
that said, niagara on the lake area and the surrounding wineries are great - we go out often for day trips from toronto, but could easily spend a weekend there (if you're into wine / food)
have fun

Definitely do Maid-of-the-Mist no matter what your age is. Also, we love the Butterfly Conservatory and the gardens that are attached to it. Don't miss Niagara-on-the-Lake. It is mych nicer than the Falls area.
