More Things To Do In Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls Wine Tours, Niagara Falls Museums and more
Everyone seems to forget there's more to Niagara then just the falls. There's the museums, travel further up on Lundy's Lane and you'll find two of them as well as one of the historical battle sites from 1812, the floral clock, the wineries, along the parkway which is the perfect spot for a picnic and along the parkway you'll find a "self guided tour" of where some of the actual battles took place in the War of 1812.
And lets not forget about the casinos! There's the Fallsview Casino, with the Avalon Theatre and Casino Niagara don't forget YukYuks at Casino Niagara. Now I'm not much of a gambler and you don't need to be either, in order to enjoy the atmosphere in them. I do have to admit the newer one, The Fallsview Casino, is extremely impressive to see.
Souvenir Stores In Niagara Falls
Taking Home A Little Piece Of The Falls
Niagara Falls has over 100 souvenir shops. So if you want to buy souvenirs your best bet would be to look around first. One thing I can definitely tell you is that Souvenir City is the most expensive place you could shop in the entire Niagara Falls area. Also, just so you know. Ontario now has one tax which is known as the HST and it's 13% of your purchase however the local hotels have acquired a third tax called a DMF tax and is 3%, what's a DMF Tax?? Well apparently it's a legal tax that the hotels/motels could add to your bill in order to help them with their costs of advertising outside of the local area. BUT!! it seems a lot of the restaurants and souvenir shops have decided they need this tax too, which simply goes into the owners pocket since there's nowhere else for it to go. Now according to our local paper there was an article on who was charging it and who wasn't and of all the local souvenir stores only one was NOT charging this tax, Jo-Ann's Payless Souvenirs. So I suggest you have a look at the items and take note of the prices and when you're shopping around in other stores remember what they are here as well as the fact that you WILL NOT be charged the extra 3% that the others seem to think you should be paying.
Even UFOs want to see Niagara Falls
