i am headed over to Toronto in a few weeks, i'm going to be using a hire car and drive over th Niagara falls (canada side), how long is it best to stay there, overnight or just a daytrip??
I went there as a day trip while I lived in Toronto. However, most people suggest staying for the night because of the night show with lights and all that jazz. Supposed to be really cool.
Definitely stay the night. If you go there just for a day, you will not only miss out on the night shows, you will find yourself cramped for time trying to get everything there is to do done.

All depends on how late you wanna stay out, and how much you want to see. it is about 90 minutes drive from Niagara to Downtown T.O. Starting in a few weeks (nov 16) there will be the annual festival of lights, so you will want to stay till after dark, What else are you planning? Just look at the falls and go, or will you be enjoying the casinos, Maid of the mist boats will be parked for the winter after this Sunday so that's out, but you can go in the tunnels that take you behind the falls. Lots of cheesy tourist attractions to see, do you like wax museums? Lots of other things to do in the region if you stay the night, winery tours? It is up to you, you can stay 1 day and see enough, or stay 2 or 3 and still find things to do.
Overnight is fun....the laser show..at night is good!....but the day time it gets pretty boring, unless if you go on Maid of the mist that takes you really close to the falls. And there are a lot of places to chill and eat also.
thanks guys
maid of the mist is not ops in winter so that's a no go, i think by 5 or 6pm it'll be dark too, so i can see the night show then drive back to TO.
A day-trip should be all you need. I've never really found much to do there, Cave of the Winds and the Maid of the Mist were the only thing I found close to exciting there. It's a breath-taking sight for the first couple minutes, but just gets boring to me quickly.
