Need suggestions on what to do at the Falls ?

I'm thinking of taking the Go train and the bus pass instead of driving to Niagara as I think it would be interesting for the kids. I also think it would be a hassle to always have to park the car if I go anywhere while I'm there.

The plan is to stay overnight weekday or weekend it doesn't matter. I'm guessing it would be less busy on a weekday ?

I haven't been to the falls in years. Can anybody suggest anything that I could do at the falls with the bus pass or where I can go aside from Clifton Hills.

I do want to try that cart track though.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I would probably go anytime in August
Thanks.

Visit the newly opened Niagara Parks Power Station, just south of Table Rock in front of the main parking lot. Great historical site.

Try the Journey behind the Falls, great attraction for the family and a unique way of seeing the falls from a different perspective.

here are some online discount coupons

https://www.niagarafallstourism.com/coupons/

also check hotel lobbies, frequently coupons there too for attractions

my kids love the aviary, real birds flying everywhere

also, if you wanna give them a workout, do a hike down the Niagara Glen. Free and beautiful sights down there by river.

the rope course was a hit with my children

I always liked to get close to the edge where you can see the water over the horseshoe edge... Just don't fall over...

Niagara Tourism (City & Region websites) are very good with info & ideas

A few of my faves …

The IMAX theatres presentation on Niagara Falls … a good starting point if you’ve never been to Niagara before
(If not open during Covid, you can stream the movie at home )

Maid of the Mist / Hornblower Cruise (the latter is the Cdn version)

Niagara Jet Boats in the Whirlpool Rapids

And … Wine Touring in Niagara-on-the-Lake and beyond
