Geno C Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 had a great time!! we stayed on the Canadian side and it was alot of fun. i never went to the falls let alone Canada so it was pretty cool. I went up with my Fiance, her parents and her Aunt and uncle. Good Times, we also got to change the lights on the falls for a bit, very cool experience anyone else go there?

Doewhacker Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 We went there a few years ago when my daughter was @6-7 months old, matter of fact we bought my wifes bow at Gander while we were out there on that trip. That was also the trip where my son was carrying the wings from whatever famous wing place in the hotel and up the elevator and when we got off there was a trail of wing sauce all down the hall to our room. The capper was the next day when he ratted all of us out to housekeeping.."Hey guess what I did yesterday" lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paula Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I took a ride there this summer, i thought i was going to see the falls. there was so much traffic i passed the parking lot and just kept going. i was surprised how bad the streets were.

Doc Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I went there once at night during their Christmas decorations, and the lighting was spectacular. It really is a fantasic thing to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr.deerslayer Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I think the Canadian side is much nicer than the American. My family went when I was younger, we stayed at a hotel that over looked the falls. To make a awesome trip cooler for the younger kids, somehow my mom made arrangements and we were able to light up the falls at night. We chose the color combination we wanted and where we wanted it in a little building, hit a switch and lit up the falls for 1000's of people to see. Kinda neat...I have never saw as many raccoon as I did at the "light" building, nearly 20 or 30 surrounding the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geno C Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 Canadian side hands down was way better. we stayed the weekend on the Canadian side. we passed through the NY side and it was like a ghost town... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ants Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Been there a bunch of times and it is a great place. Last time we went was about 5 years ago. I never had a problem but that time, going in, the boarder officer was such a little prick (sorry) that I almost caused an international incident. He was about 25 years old, 5 foot nothing with a huge chip on his shoulder. But getting back to the falls. Awesome!!! If anyone is thinking about going ....GO!
