What to do in Niagara Falls?

Alright, thanks for your response:-)

Shaw Festival and most of the wine growing country is on the Canadian side so you might have some difficulty seeing those things. I grew up on the Canadian side of the river but do know some of the attractions on the American side. There are trails you can go on down in the gorge. There is also a great deal of parkland all along the river. There is an observation deck that sticks out into the gorge from the American side. It has an elevator in it that will take you to the bottom where there are trails. I believe it is called "Cave of the Winds". On the north end of the Niagara Falls is something called Artpark. There is an outdoor theater and activities going on there for most of the tourist season. If history is your thing, follow the river toward Lake Ontario. There is an old military fort there called Fort Niagara. It was originally built by the French. It changed hands several times during the War of 1812 when the US and Canada were not on very friendly terms. That is just scratching the surface. There is so much to do there that if you only have the weekend you might forget to see the falls themselves.
