East coast road trip need tips

Thani you for the great infos!
I think we will explore both sides, there must be a nice walk from US side over the river along the CDN side (one way approx 1/2h walk). Do you recommend a boat trip or is it wasted money? How do you like the light show by night?

the light show is awesome, probably best viewed from canada as you see more of the falls at one time , the boat ride is cool also , to see all that water from below is awesome, there is also cave of the winds where you actually walk along the base of the falls and when i went you kinda get under it as it flows in front of you , i hear they have a package these days where you can do both….
