Niagara Falls: Things to do in 2 days

Niagara is a complete package and has offerings for all age groups as well as individuals at all frequencies. Although it requires a detailed planning and lot of stamina to move and conquer all the diverse places it has to offer, I would sum up a 2-day itinerary for a first time traveller!

Niagara falls is located around one and a half hours from Toronto downtown. In case you can't manage a car, various casino buses (like Safeway tours for Fallsview Casino - www.safewaytours.net ) can get you there at $30 and drop back to your location next day.

Day 1:Head straight to Marineland for a 9 to 5 outing (min. 6 hrs are required). Some people may terrify you that it's quite hectic however according to me if you can walk and plan it properly based on show timings than it's quite smooth. Feed Deer, Catch Killer Whale Splash, Feed Beluga whales, Bears, Enjoy rides at Dragon mouth and Sky Screamer and conclude at Waldorf arena to watch seals, dolphins and walrus play. Walk towards Sky screamer is steep but worth every step taken.

Relax at the hotel in the afternoon. We stayed at Niagara Falls Courtside Inn as we wanted to spend minimal on accomodation and maximum on other activities. Have dinner at revolving Skylon restaurant and get a 360 degree view of Niagara! Check the fireworks schedule - usually happens around 10pm on Fridays and Sundays! Don't miss out on glitter and glamor at Niagara downtown - Ripleys museum, Guiness museum, Sky wheel, Fudge factory, etc. Shuttle buses run for pick up and drops at various destinations

Day2: Niagara can be viewed in full bloom and can be tried out with different experiences. Maid of the Mist boat ride, Journey behind the falls through a glass elevator, White Water Walk and movie on Niagara's Fury! The best bet seemed Maid of the Mist and if you can spare time other things can be covered. Spend the afternoon playing Poker and Roulette at Fallsview Casino

Based on your priorities and interests, time can be varied at each destinations! This and similar reviews can be viewed at http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g154998-d186167-r116312032-Niagara_Falls-Niagara_Falls_Ontario.html
