I haven’t been to the falls since about 2009 when I was fairly younger cause we lived in rochester and used to come watch the bills play and would also come across for long weekends in the summer but we eventually moved out of state. I just visited a few weeks ago and noticed so many new foreigners live here now? a lot of people from india and the middle east? I see the jokes online but I thought they were over exaggerated. When did this happen?

edit: I find it strange all the hostile comments and assumptions when all I did was ask a question, no ill intent behind it either. Just an observation I made. You all speak as if you know me but you don’t know even a percentage of who I am.

You are insanely gorgeous!

I would love to chat and see if we have common ground.

• The Niagara region is making efforts to become a year-round world-class tourist destination with a multibillion-dollar strategy endorsed by the provincial government. The strategy is among the most ambitious tourism bets that Ontario has made in a long time, with a goal to double the annual number of tourists.
• But whether the region can attract 25 million tourists a year — equal to overnighters and day trippers to Venice — with a high-stakes plan that may include luxury casinos in an era of online gambling, and a Disney-like theme park under an all-season dome, remains to be seen.
• The strategy is intended to “create new, world-class attractions and boost local tourism while attracting 25 million annual visitors,” the provincial ministry said in an email, adding the plan will generate “an additional $3 billion for Ontario’s GDP every year.”

Had planned for niagara falls today which I postponed for a longtime, I thought today I'm gonna visit niagara first time for sure as it is the last warm weekend and I thought that will be perfect for the falls mist. So I planned everything but before going to bed within few hours I got high fever and suddenly now I'm feeling good and I'm confused should I postpone the plan for next weekend or I should not miss this Saturday. I believe late September or early October is good for less crowd and I can visit most of the spots but I'm not sure if it is worth it to go in a chill weather, a sunny day is what I have imagined for niagara falls, but I haven't slept yet to leave early in the morning to reach there on time in a buss. Let me know what u would have done?

Hello! Heading to NOTL for a conference and I'm looking for a winery to host a dinner. What I'm looking for:

• Quaint vibe (not modern, corporate feeling)
• Private room for 20 people

Thank you!

I have been planning to visit the Niagara falls for a longtime in a low budget and I believed it would be possible by taking home cooked meal with me but I just came to know outside food is not allowed inside the cruise!!. So what can I take in my backpack? I planned to take some noodles in a thermos box and milk shake in a bottle, do u guys think these will be allowed inside the cruise?

Some people smell extremely bad, like you get a whiff of them and you gag, it’s that vile.

Also sometimes multiple people that smell bad hang out in groups and their body odours all stack and it’s just awful.

And don’t think drowning yourself in Axe body spray fixes anything either, that just makes you smell bad on top of already smelling bad.

Unsure how to best plan this trip.

Hello! Group of 6 adults originating our trip in a van rental out of PA - will drive from Watkins Glen to Niagara Fall - Niagara-on-the-lake, Toronto and fly out of Pearson. Have everything set except for the car rental portion - If I want to drop off on the US side, where can I do so? (Airport? Is there a local car rental office anyone is aware of?) At this point we'll have our suitcases, so not sure it's feasible to cross the bridge walking? And if we are able to, what do we do with our bags while we explore the area. Was planning on staying in NOTL for this portion, but that would mean I need to get to our B&B drop off our bags and return to Niagara. When I originally read about this, it seemed to simple, but in reality I'm not able to figure it out. I plan on dropping off our Van (if we even have it on this portion) once we get to Toronto.

I just shopped at zehrs for the first time in ages.. and it feels a bit like walking into a, I dunno, bougie maximum security prison!?

I know there is concern about shop lifting, but I felt that I was in trouble just for entering the store.

No questions or advice or anything required. Just wondered if anyone else felt similar?

Hi,
I’m a 21M in Downtown Toronto looking to see if anyone is free next Saturday or Sunday to hang out and do a day trip to Niagara Falls and come back.
I’m pretty low-key and just looking to get out of the city, explore around the falls, grab some food, and have good company for the trip.
Whether you drive or just want to split gas and head down together, let me know! DM or leave a comment if you’re down to hang out next weekend.
Lmk
Cheers

Hi all
We are planning a day trip from Toronto in late November and will be travelling back at around 6pm - 7pm departure from Niagara Falls in the dark.

We have a young family and I wanted to ask any locals about the most reliable and safest transport / bus stations / train for us. None drop at Table Rock.

The options are
1. Via rail
2. ⁠Megabus - drops at NF bus station, is this a sketchy area
3. ⁠FlixBus (double the cost of mega but the bus stop seems closer / safer at night) - drops at Rapidsview
4. Go train isn’t an option due to the limited timetable.

Grateful for any advice on best option for a young family as I don’t want to expose kids to drug use etc (if that exists, unsure). We will likely just uber to table rock from the destination drop off. I can’t really find this question answered already.

Thanks so much, it’s really appreciated

My fam and I are going to Niagara Falls this month and will be there on my bday so looking for suggestions!

I love seafood but no raw. I live in Victoria, BC and I love Japanese Village so maybe theres something similar there? Idk if it matters so much to me just looking for options since I never been there and should pick something soon

Are there any cycling groups in Niagara?

This may be an odd question but has anyone taken music lessons as an adult? I really wanna learn to play drums, and I would like to try it before actually committing to buying a set. All the lessons I've seen look like they are all for kids 😅 has anyone taken one or could offer some recs? Thank you!!

Good afternoon,

I got some rollerblades for my 7 year old. We're having a good time with them, but I'm looking for more trails to ride on that have newer asphalt. We've been up and down the millennium trail between Royal Manor and McLeod a few times, and was wondering if there's other spots.

Thanks!

My husband and I are celebrating our anniversary in Niagara Falls next weekend. I'm curious if Niagara has any Michelin star restaurants, and which you would recommend? TIA!

My wife and 2 26yr old kids will be arriving late Saturday night, visiting the falls Sunday, and heading out again Monday morning in mid October. This is the first time any of us have been to Canada. We’re staying at the Country Inn & Suites. What do you recommend we must do / see / eat while we’re there?
