We crossed from Niagara Falls, NY, to Niagara Falls, ON, Canada, one afternoon about 4 and stayed until about 9:30 since the lights come on the falls at 9 pm at that time of the year.  It rained some of the time we were there, but the wait for the rain to stop was worth a rainbow afterwards.  Close to the falls, the park-like atmosphere still prevails, but a few blocks back from the falls it is like a carnival with souvenir shops and attractions like you would see in Pigeon Forge, TN, or other tourist traps.  I figure if it has a 'Ripley's Believe It Or Not' it's not my kind of place.  You can avoid this section, as we did, and had dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe.  We stayed the night in Niagara Falls, NY, in one of the two Days Inns in town.
