Niagara. It should come as no surprise that the very name means “water!” Whether you visit Niagara Falls from the US or the Canadian side, you can’t help but be impressed by this natural wonder. I visited Niagara recently during a quick jaunt to Ontario, Canada and found out there’s more to the area than just the waterfalls themselves.

Niagara Falls used to be THE premier spot to honeymoon and also get married during the 1930’s and 40’s. These days it’s more famous for barrel jumpers and the occasional suicide, although plenty of couples still go there to exchange wedding vows and snaps pictures.

Depending on how much time you have you’ll be pleased to know that “downtown” Ontario — conveniently located right by the falls - comes complete with 2 major casinos, a Ferris wheel, and dozens of sidewalk amusements including attractions from Marvel Comics, the Hard Rock Cafe, and Planet Hollywood. A new indoor water park on the top floor of the hotel at the Hard Rock Café and Casino is a great place for the kids.

From Buzzle.com:

Celebrating the New Year in a new and exciting environment is highly desirable - and one of the main bi-products of the increasing number of cheap flights and greater global mobility is that this is becoming more and more possible. People living in Chicago can now choose to celebrate the New Year in Edinburgh, Sydney or Paris; however, you don’t have to travel quite so far away from home to enjoy a spectacular party on December 31st. Visit the Winter Festival of Lights being held in Clifton Hills, in Niagara Falls, Ontario this year and you’ll be able to count down to the 1st of January in style.
