Niagra Falls, Canada
Hi,
We are going to be staying at a hotel in Niagra Falls, Canada from the 11-15 of September. We have a 2 1/2 year old. I just needed some info on some things to do in that area besides seeing the falls. I also wanted to know if anyone can recommend some family friendly restraunts to eat at there. Thanks for the help!

There is tons to do. Clifton Hill is like a carnival midway with "fun house" type attractions; Maid of the Mist boat tour; Journey Behind the Falls tour; Butterfly Conservatory; Whirlpool Aero Car; etc. For a good list and description, check out the Niagara Parks website: http://www.niagaraparks.com/
You can also pick up the Adventure Pass for a discounted price - it can save a decent amount of money: http://tinyurl.com/2888zq
For restaurants, they are fairly expensive, but you have lots of options: Hard Rock Cafe, Boston Pizza, Denny's, etc.
With a 2-1/2 year old, I would probably keep a bunch of healthy snacks handy to feed him/her often and keep the cost of food down. The kids I know that age never finish their plates and are hungry again 10 minutes later (after you paid $5-$10 for the meal they didn't eat).
P.S. It's spelled Niagara

sladkaya, Niagara Falls locals head out to Lundy's Lane to eat rather than Clifton Hill. Carpaccio's has good Italian food and Italians love bambinos. 6840 Lundy's Lane, 905-371-2063. Another homey, popular spot with locals is Lawrenceville on Highway 55 in Virgil. 1502 Niagara Stone Road, 905-468-4333
My grandchildren love to visit Happy Rolph's Bird Sanctuary along Lake Ontario on Read Road, off Lakeshore Road on the outskirts of St. Catharines. It's a very happy place. Afterwards, continue westward along Lakeshore Drive to Port Dalhousie for Lakeside Park. There's a beach and picnic area but the prime attraction is the carousel, still only 5 cents a ride.
