Depends on what you like to do. We stopped on an unplanned trip just really to see the falls. The Canadian side is geared toward Tourists, lively, with many things to do as a Tourist. Great views from restaurants that offer scenic dining. The American side of the Falls is a Park and Not built up as a Tourist destination. Overall. we enjoyed the Canadian side as 1st timers. We did take the Tour, well worth it. I think it went to 8-10 places, including Maid of the Mist (a MUST Do) Group was always placed in the Front of the line and included any Entrance fees. It was Both on the US-Canadian side. Its been awhile (years), so things may have Changed. You will NEED Passports for the Canadian Side. Falls at Night are lighted. I learned much and saw one of the Great Wonders of America/Canada. HAVE FUN. I always have Great Memories and things to say about that Trip.My wife and I are planning an anniversary trip and we've never been to Niagara Falls before. For those who have stayed in the area, would you recommend staying on the American or Canadian side?

The "cave" was on the Canadian side. It is actually a bore hole for some construction. Worth the view.Been to long to remember details.
Maid of the mist is a must, takes you right to the falls.
I remember going down a "cave" to get behind the falls and eatch the water go by but I don't remember what side that was.
Also remember renting a peddle boat for like a half hour in a huge fish pond.
All of this was over 30 years ago...
I was to young to appreciate the trip we took but glad I was old enough to remember what I do.The "cave" was on the Canadian side. It is actually a bore hole for some construction. Worth the view.
Taking a big dog? Or admitting to a NYS felony b4 it happens?We are also planning a trip there this summer. We are staying on the US ( New York) side. No passport needed. Will have personal protection with me.
Not in New York. (at least not legally). Very anti-gun. And if you're "doing tourist stuff" there, you are no longer protected by USC 926A, so you can't even "possess" an unloaded handgun. I suggest you research first. You may be in New York (prison) longer than expected...We are also planning a trip there this summer. We are staying on the US ( New York) side. No passport needed.

As stated “personal protection”. Not a firearm. I plan to pray - a lot! Also will wear my “run fast” shoes.Not in New York. (at least not legally). Very anti-gun.
