Please advise me on Attractions which are near Niagara falls and at a driving distance of 4-5 hours.?

Dear Members!





Can you please let me know of the attractions near to Niagara Falls. I plan to spend 3 days in Niagara and want to explore around. It can be driving distance also, since I plan to rent a car. Appreciate your help and thanks to all in advance :)Please advise me on Attractions which are near Niagara falls and at a driving distance of 4-5 hours.?
A four to five hour drive in each direction (150-250 miles each way) would literally catch hundreds of attractions. Such an answer would be much too large for YA and a three day trip. However, there is much to do just within Niagara Falls, Ontario.





The Table Rock complex (basically the closest you can officially get to the cataracts in an official capacity) is the site of the Journey Behind the Falls attraction and the Niagara's Fury attraction. Anybody who goes to Niagara Falls has to ride on The Maid of The Mist at least once. I would add a mention for Marineland, the Butterfly Conservatory and Bird Kingdom. Each furthers the nature theme set by the falls in their own way.





How about eating a meal up in either of the Skylon Tower's windowed restaurants and finishing with a visit to the observation deck? The meals in the Revolving Dining room start at $25 for lunch and $40 for dinner. The Summit Suite Dining Room's lunch buffet is $28 and the dinner buffet is $35-$40. Those prices include free admission to the observation deck (normally $12.95), so that's worth about a third of your meal price. Another meal choice might be to eat at Elements on the Falls in that previously mentioned remodeled Table Rock complex. They boast that they are the ';Closest Restaurant to the Falls';. Their lunches start at $14 and dinner ranges between $18-$30. When considering these prices, keep in mind that you're at either place for the spectacle and the surroundings as much as you're there for the food.





Clifton Hill describes itself as ';The Avenue of Fun'; at Niagara Falls. It has many attractions, shops and restaurants. Some of my favorite stops would be the SkyWheel, the Great Canadian Midway, the Guinness Book of World Records Museum and the Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum, but there are many more attractions, shops and restaurants to choose from.





Along with both the city's casinos, there are other attractions and shopping nearby both of them. It's a short walking distance from Fallsview Casino to the Skylon Tower, the IMAX Theatre, the Daredevil Gallery (newly renovated for 2009) and an official National Geographic store. Casino Niagara is a short walking distance from an official Coca-Cola store (complete with a full-service ice cream Coke fountain), an official Hershey Chocolate store, the Hard Rock Cafe, Planet Hollywood and Clifton Hill. A 2-3 mile trip heading away from the falls on Lundy's Lane will find Canada One Factory Outlets and its 40 brand name (mainly fashion) stores, if bargain, name brand shopping is your thing.





Ultimately, deciding what interests you is a personal thing. However, I hope these listings give you enough choice to make that decision for each and still have a great trip.Please advise me on Attractions which are near Niagara falls and at a driving distance of 4-5 hours.?
That's a pretty tall order.





a four to five hour drive from Niagara Falls will get you to an awful lot of attractions.





The Falls itself has many attractions like the Maid of the Mist, Jet Boats, SkyWheel, two casinos, two water parks and Marineland just to name a few.





Within half an hour of the Falls you have Niagara on the Lake filled with loads of wineries and historical sites.





Then there is Zooz Safari Niagara, a place to check out all kinds of the world's wildlife.





Fort Erie has a horse race track, St Catharines has old port Dalhousie with its classic carousel and Canada's oldest Jailhouse (which has been converted into a bar).





Going a couple of hours from the Falls you can get to places like Canada's wonderland, Toronto and London Ontario.





All these places are good to see but really the list is endless.
In Niagara Falls, there are a few casinos, the Falls, Marineland, wonderful parks, and other touristy things. Up the road in Niagara-on-the-Lake there are plenty of vineyards that you can take a tour of, a butterfly conservancy, and the Shaw festival. Toronto is only an hour and half away, there is plenty of things to do there. There is plenty to do.
They do have a casino in Niagara Falls, I used to live there. If you have a passport, you could skip across to Canada, visit Ripley's Believe It Or Not museum. Actually, then too, there's the Aero Space Muesum in Niagara Falls. Rochester, NY is not that far, they have a big mall there. Niagara Falls is not that far from the nearest Indian Reservations. Yeah, just click on Niagara Falls.com and find the right web site and that will help you as well. Good Luck and have fun. The hotels' front desk people should be able to provide you with a list of attractions you could go to within that 4-5 miles range.
If you are coming in October you must go to Kitchener for Oktoberfest a bavarian festival which lasts 10 days
