You have 3 days (more like 2.5), 2 nights in Niagara Falls. Canadian side, with a near 6yo. What are the absolute must dos? Restaurant recs, anything else you want to recommend. We have Maid of the Mist & Journey Behind the Falls on the itinerary so far. And go!

Butterfly gardens. It's really beautiful inside and outside.
There's a boardwalk you can do right by the Rapids. It's okay but not great.
The cable car over the whirlpool is really cool.
If you want to cross to the US side, there's Cave of the Winds where you walk down to the base of the falls. You get soaked.
The falls light up at night, and it's beautiful. You'll want to stay up late one night.
Last time I was in NF, Canada, I got some kind of tourist pass that included all the attractions. It was cheaper than paying individually. But I'm not sure if they still do that.

Can I piggyback?
Would it be worth a trip in the fall, say early to mid-October? H & I are considering a weekend away, just us two, but the earliest we'd be able to do so would be October, most likely.

Sorry, I forgot about this tag. Our trip was really good! I just wish we had more time! We did Maid of the Mist (highly recommend), Journey Behind the Falls (not our favorite, it was pretty boring. I was thinking there was more to it like Cave of the Winds), the observation deck of Skylon Tower, & the Butterfly Conservatory. We also spent a half-day at Niagara-on-the-Lake & went to Fort George. There ended up being a jazz festival at the park there so we wasted some time there as well. There was some kids activities for DS. We definitely have intentions on returning soon. I wanna do Cave of the Winds! I just thought that DS would most likely whine it would be too much walking & he would maybe complain about the mandatory sandals you have to wear so maybe next year.

That sounds like a good trip ! We have never done Niagara from the US side, we may have to do a day trip just to do Cave of the winds !
