    Why would you associate Clarence Center with the Love Canal? Unless you are referring to the recent plane crash Clarence Center is an outstanding small town.

      2 casinos, marine land, Tons of tourist shit wax museums and haunted houses, indoor water parks, Maid of the mist where they take you down into the falls in a boat.

      It's lots of fun
      Brazilian steak houses are awesome . I went to one when I was in Italy and was great.

      Do you know if the casinos have craps tables?

      It is prob one of the most romantic views at night you will ever see in your life. They color up the falls at night and it is simply AWESOME. Next door is a casino and restaraunt and is still only a minute or two back accross to the US side. Be sure to drive around the city..lots of good shopping there.
      Thanks for the advice, really appreciate it. I looked online and there are two places close by, do you happen to know which one is better?

      5875 Falls Avenue Niagara Falls, Ontario L2G 3K7 · Canada

      6755 Fallsview Boulevard Niagara Falls, Ontario L2G 3W7 · Canada

      The thing I hate about booking a trip is getting there and thinking "damn, I wish I would of chose THAT hotel instead, its much better."

          Every town I visit I like doing the touristy things... but I also like visiting the notorious "attractions".

          Like the first time I visited LA... yeah I wanted to see Venice beach, Universal, sunset strip etc. but I also wanted to find the Sharon Tate and La Bianca houses. First time I went to Dallas all I cared about was Dealy Plaza... etc.

          And yes, I know that Clarence Center is a nice small town... horribly unfortunate that they were hit... but it would be something I'd def. be interested in seeing.

                You might be bored if you are into very interesting attractions. Not much to see in this case. I live about 5 miles north of the crash site. The location is on a small village street. Its been completely site leveled and looks like a lot that someone would be getting ready to build a house on.

                It has an eerie vibe for many of the locals including myself just knowing what happened. But short of that not much to it.

                If you want to see an oddball attraction I can take you to a Bills game some day

Its absolutely beautiful, has some easy hiking between all the different waterfalls, there is a casino local and always something to do in the area. We have gone quite a few times and always had a blast.

                  I second this one

                      Go during the winter. There are alot fewer tourists.

                      This time of year might be OK too.

                      Avoid the summer months though!

                        Don't bother with the US side. The Canadians side is absolutely gorgeous. Seeing both in comparison you'd be ashamed of how little we do.

                        Spend you some brain.
