Artvoice (”Buffalo’s #1 Newsweekly”) has an article about 100 things to do in the summer (presumably in the Buffalo area). #17 is about Niagara Falls.

Task-oriented as always, we here at AV reached out to friends and colleagues, and deep into the archive of our own summer idylls, to assemble for you 100 things you must do in summer.

17. Spend a day at Niagara Falls, including Maid of the Mist and Goat and Three Sisters Islands. Appreciate the world wonder in our backyard. Really appreciate it. Don’t just lean on the railing or look through the binoculars that cost 50 cents. Visit the history rich Goat and Three Sisters Islands and learn about their fascinating Native American history. Get up close and very personal with the falls through the drenching Maid of the Mist, a sure-fire way to cool off in hot weather.

Someone with a Blogger blog posted about a recent trip to Niagara Falls:

Dibs and I somehow were the first ones there despite our efforts to delay our departure. So we ended up napping in the parking lot of a Thriftlodge on Clifton Hill. What seemed like hours later the rest of the crew showed up but rather than heading to my beloved Great Canadian Midway we went up the hill to Ripley’s Believe It or Not…oh goodie.

From the Buffalo News:

A dozen British Royal Guards stood silently, at perfect attention, on either side of the walkway as my daughter, Jennifer, and I entered the Niagara Totem Pole and Woodcarving Park. However, these soldiers weren’t real; they were carved entirely out of wood.

When we stopped by the park, which is located in the Niagara Glen a few miles north of the falls in Niagara Falls, Ont., we really didn’t know what to expect. Once we stepped inside, we realized we had just entered a special and unique place.
