I have lived in Buffalo all my life and have gone to the falls with my mother, and now with my daughter. I prefer the more natural U.S. side for beauty and serenity; for those who like it more glitzy, the Canadian side is for you. Both sides have their pluses. The dismanteling of the tower on the U.S. side was heartbreaking; the walkup was like going back in time. Oh and you have to visit the islands, they can take you to the water's edge!
Pros: Free to see Falls, natural U.S. side, touristy Canada side
Cons: NF cops ticket often, casino/ bad parking, Ca side very crowded
