Exploring Niagara Falls with our grandson was great. Fall is a great time to travel in the northern states and even more so if you can get in upper New York and new England. We drove all day and got there with some time to spend looking at the falls before night.

We looked around the area closes to the park entrance. My wife and I had been to Niagara Falls before but it was our grandson’s first time to see the falls and he really enjoyed it. It’s fun exploring Niagara Falls even at the park entrance with a lot to see and do. Having traveled all day, we were all hungry and looking for a restaurant.

We soon found one that we thought everyone would enjoy.

Some of us enjoyed it more than others. The Hard Rock Cafe at Niagara Falls played a lot of older songs that I enjoyed and my grandson did not know. The food was good like it is at all Hard Rocks. I was told the desserts were really good.

After a good meal we went back across the street for more exploring Niagara Falls at night. 

AS great as it is to see the falls in the light of day, the night is a must see. The falls are lit up and it adds magic to the view. After the long drive, the good meal and the night views, we went back to the hotel. The Hampton Inn Niagara Falls was a great place to stay rooms were clean and the free breakfast was good. Just a note there are two Hampton Inns be sure to get the one near the falls.  We went to sleep fast because we knew the next day, we would be busy exploring Niagara Falls.
