Both towns are kind of dumps, but, if we're talking just around the Falls, I think the U.S. side is quite a bit nicer. It's parkland vs. wax museums. Or am I missing some stuff on either side? To me, that Olmstead-designed island is the nicest part of either side, esp. when you get right up to the falls.

Or maybe am I confused? Is the island on the Canadian side? I'm almost certain we walked it from the American side.
Canadian side has nice stuff too like the Floral Showhouse.

Floral plantings like that seem more common on the Canadian side too.

The wax museums are up on Clifton Hill, a ridge that's above where you view the falls from the Canadian side.
