Trip with mid 60s mother to Niagara falls Ontario

Hey all,

Next week I'm taking my mom to London so she can go to the celebration of life for her brother. I've booked the Monday off so since she hasn't been to Niagara falls in over 10 years I thought I'd take her since I don't think she'll have the opportunity to again anytime soon.

What I'm wondering is if anyone can help with ideas of things to do? She will need some breaks from walking and the hill could be an issue walking back up it.

Things I plan on taking her to see and will be buying the 2 day WEGO bus pass

Bird Kingdom
Greg Frewin Magic show

We'll be staying from Saturday night until Monday

Thanks in advance,

Was not impressed with Bird Kingdom.
Kind of a dirty / gross place actually
(Lol... too much Bird sh!t)

The Butterfly Conservatory is excellent ... do it instead
Go early in the morning though before the sun heats up all that glass

Have enjoyed the Greg Frewin Dinner Theatre & Show
Also though the Oh Canada Eh? Dinner Theatre & Show was kitschy fun
(I hear they are opening one up in Ottawa for July & August as well)

A lot of things in Niagara Falls require waiting on line
Or are too strenuous for some people

If I were you I would ask your Mom what it is she’d like to do

Also don’t overlook Niagara-on-the-Lake

I think most people who love Niagara ... May go to see the Falls
But they stay or return cuz of the charm of NOTL
