Niagara Falls, Canadian side

[AddictedToLOST]

We will be staying 2 days at the Falls, Should We change Our U.S. Dollars to Canadian?
Any tips for Places to eat, Is the Restaurant tipping scale the same (15% to 20%)?
Thanks to all for any help or suggestions for the area.

I wouldn't really bother changing money. Especially that close to the border, most places will take either. They are so close these days, that you would probably end up losing because of what the banks charge to change money. Yes, tipping is about the same, altho I tend to stick closer to 15 than 20%. Sorry, don't have any suggestions where to eat.

If you have time, and are so inclined, try taking a wine tasting tour. My DS has done so a few times and thoroughly enjoyed it.

No need to worry about the money, just take plenty, lol. It's quite a bit more expensive on the Canadian side.

Thanks Ginger, that I is what I was thinking about the money.

LOL Shumway, We did get a good package deal through the Ontario Parks Department.

There is a cafeteria just opposite the Canadian falls that has very good choices and is of good value - there is a gift store downstairs. The Happy Wanderer is an excellent German restaurant as well.

Go to the Duty-Free mall - ask and you will be given directions from a friendly Canadian.
