Other Things to Do and See in Western New York and Canada
Niagara Falls is probably the most famous waterfalls in the world! The Niagara Falls are located between the twin cities of Niagara Falls, Ontario, and Niagara Falls, New York. Niagara Falls is actually three different falls, the American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls and Horseshoe Falls. With more than 14 million visitors each year it is one of the most visited tourist attraction in the world!
The Niagara Falls area has hundreds of tourist attractions! The greatest number of attractions are in the city of “Niagara Falls, Canada.” It is located just across the Niagara River and the United States border. Niagara Falls, Canada has some of the greatest family and adult entertainment in the world.
To visit, you and all your travel companions will be required to bring your U.S. Birth Certificates, U.S. Passport, and picture I.D. Anyone under 15 years old must also have a signed letter from any parent not crossing the border with them in hand allowing them to cross the U.S./Canadian Border! The U.S./Canadian border has upgraded their checks this year. The United States will let you out and Canada will let you in with a few questions at the border. But, the U.S. Customs don't have to let you return without proper proof of citizenship. So, bring proper/valid copies of I.D.'s, birth certificates, and passports.
All reunion programming will remain on the American side of border. Feel free to rent a car at nearby airport to cross the border. If several people are interested, a small group road trip across the border will be planned during the reunion. Participants would have to secure their own private rides or vehicles.
