I've been there twice. The first time was on a whim (I was headed somewhere else on vacation, and it was only a few miles out of the way). The Canadian side is much better. From the US side, you're kind of looking over the edge - not a great angle. From the Canadian side, you're looking straight into the Falls. There's a lot of touristy stuff, too. Hershey's store, Ripleys, Hard Rock (on both sides), casinos, etc - as well as a boat ride up to the edge of the Falls (from downstream, of course), a walkway under the Falls, etc. Battle sites and such, too. There were quite a few $5-$10 activities, from what I remember. Quite a few B&Bs, too. We stayed at one that was a brisk walk from the Falls. Niagara Falls is a must see. I’ve been there twice.

That's a great tip for honeymooners, though! I bet people can definitely find some cheap things to do there. Thanks for sharing! @ BM - I think most people decide early on to spend a ton of money on this particular trip, so you're not alone in that respect. There's nothing wrong with that if you plan on it, but my friend wasn't really willing to go into tons of debt with her brand new marriage. I think it was a pretty smart move on her part. @ Kosmo – I’ve always wanted to go to Niagra Falls! That’s a great tip for honeymooners, though!

The dollar was a little stronger against the $CDN when we went, though. My wife loves elephants, so we also drove to a "safari" place nearby (Cambridge, I believe) that had a bunch elephants. She loved it. Niagara Falls is a cool destination, with activities at a lot of different price points (all the way down to free – gazing at the Falls).
