    @sumalynux

    If you're visiting from the USA and I believe it's the first time, you can take Discovery Pass. Except for Adventure Theater, it's worth it, unlimited trolley rides etc covers ticket prices you can just google that. We really enjoyed cave of wind, it's an amazing experience we just go near the falls. They have the photography only in that place in case you love to capture the family picture. Then, Maid of mist, it's a boat ride wonderful experience and loved some of the views you will get the flyer with discovery pass you can check for views of falls and visit. Aquarium of Niagara one more I loved it, they will have shows. Dolphin or shark dance...And you will have many Indian restaurants around. Fireworks would be there, check the days...
    If you're visiting from Canada, we just visited maid of the mist, a view of falls, just been to a casino and a walk around, there were some rides...
    if you have time, try looking A Thousand islands, Watkins Glen State Park, Corning (Corning Museum of Glass) From the USA depending on your route. I heard that r good but didn't get the chance to visit... Probably next time.
    And ya I am not sure about the Toddler.... Hope you find this piece of information useful.. enjoy your trip...

    How old is your baby.Buying a baby carrier is worth while traveling to Niagara if your baby not yet started walking.

    From past 3 weekend we r trying to go n it's rain forecast so we had to cancel ended up going boston

    Hopefully will go tis weekend will share my experience after that.

    Boston is a must see place.

    We bought a city pass covering 4 attractions.

    We live in Albany newyork and Boston is around 3hrs drive for us.

    We left house 8am sat reached noon.. Directly went to Aquarium then 1.5hrs cruise which is just adjacent to Aquarium by then it was already 5pm. Then went to fenwaypark( nothing to see in fenwaypark game was going on dh just wanted to go visit stadium n take pics)

    By then already 8pm we went to hotel. Next day we were so tired got up only 10am had breakfast in hotel then started 11.30am and directly went to museum of science we left there by 5pm. Din't take car from parking went to skywalk observatory in cab back from there by 8pm again n cab. Came to parking lot took our car reached by 11pm

    Tips:
    Buy Boston citypass works cheaper

    Take lot of snacks for kid n all.

    I had uploaded all rhymes in iPad for my DS

    I had taken glass bowl and bought small milk can n heat milk in hotel oven and gave milk to ds night and morning.

    Sat morning I had got up at 4am. Prepared pulao which we eat at Aquarium cafe at 1pm

    Get extra dresses for kiddo.... my DS had vomit during new Jersey trip may be coz I had fed lot of milk so this time I ensured I din't give milk in car.

    Get warm clothes n jackets asevening and during cruise it got chilly.

    Stroller is must and his stroller always has a diaper n snack bag hanged to its handles.

    I had a notepad with checklist of things to take morning I ticked it all before leaving

    Umbrella n sunglasses will b helpful

    Have fun. Feel free to ask anything.Will update Niagara experience after this weekend

    Please check weather before going there. You may need jackets if it's cold. It is better to take stroller with you. You may have to walk around a lot. Parking near that area is not encouraged. So wear comfortable shoes and dress. I really enjoyed the boat trip there ( maid of the mist). As usual carry all the baby stuff with you. Happy journey.
