I've been lead to believe that Niagara Falls is a tourist trap nowadays, but that's second- and third-hand information.
Hamilton:
HMCS Haida, "Canada’s most fightingest ship". If it isn't so hot that letting you stay below decks would be a health hazard, you're allowed to explore this destroyer from the bridge to the engine room.

Dundurn Castle - it's a "castle" because the front door is flanked by pillars; most folks would call it a manor house. See this if you're interested in early-19th-century life.

The Museum of STEAM!
No, seriously - it's the Hamilton Museum of Steam & Technology. Emphasis on "steam". It's just off Nikola Tesla Blvd, almost at the off-ramp from the QEW immediately south of the Burlington Skyway, so if you're driving from Syracuse to Toronto, you're literally going right by it.

For craft beer in Hamilton, I recommend Collective Arts Brewing. It's on the main road between HMCS Haida and the Hamilton Museum of Steam & Technology.
