Advance planning for Toronto trip

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.http://www.pc.gc.ca/en/lhn-nhs/on/haida

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.http://www.hamilton.ca/attractions/ham ... toric-site

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.http://www.hamilton.ca/attractions/ham ... toric-site

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.http://collectiveartsbrewing.com/

Looks like I may have to add a night in Hamilton, then. That's probably a full day's worth, and then some.

Heh. Niagara Falls has always been a tourist trap. Doesn't mean it's not pretty. We stopped there on our way back from our last trip to Toronto. If you can, do the cave behind the falls.

Will do.

Again, thanks for all the suggestions.
