How can i go to niagara falls without entering canada ?|107204

My friends and I planned a trip to Niagara falls this week end. So, I searched the location in the Google maps[from the location 630 Merrick street, Detroit, MI 48202]. From the traveling directions, one of the direction was given as partially entering Canada and after 2-3 directions it was again entering United States. Is it necessary for me to get a Visa when entering Canada here.
Is it possible to get traaveling directions without entering Canada.
Are there any sightseeing places before going to Niagara falls.

Since you_re driving and not flying, and as long as you this before the end of this year, you each only need a drivers license or DMV ID and birth certificate. You can also use a passport, which you will need starting in January. The view of the falls is much better from the Canadian side, so if you want a good view of the falls, you_ll want to enter Canada anyway.

But if you want to drive entirely in the US, take I-75 south to I-90 east. Once you get into New York, take exit 53 for I-190 North. Take the exit for Niagara Falls Blvd. and follow the signs to the business district and falls. This route does add about 150 miles and 2 1/2 hours to your trip though, as opposed to the one that goes through Canada.

I am curious why you do not want to enter Canada. Are you an American citizen? if so, you do not need either a visa or a passport to enter Cnaada. You can see the Falls from the American side, but the best views and most things to do are on the Canadian side.

you do not need a visa to enter Canada but i believe you do need a passport....notwithstanding you can get to Niagara falls without going thru Canada...when i checked yahoo maps i entered Niagara falls NY as the destination and it shows a southern route which looks fairly straightforward...try it

Stay on the United States side-you get a better view of the falls from there anyway!

Yes, Niagara Falls, NY is just north of Buffalo, NY. If you are in Michigan, it means coming down through Ohio, PA, and up into NY, but it_s worth it for a nice trip! Buffalo has many things to do, and if you want to go east, Rochester and the Finger Lakes are also nice (if you have time, Letchworth State Park is beautiful in the fall).

Assuming you are American, no you do not need a visa to visit or enter Canada. You may need a passport, and definitely will have to have photo identification (drivers license). To get to Niagara Falls, New York (there is Niagara Falls, Ontario), you will have to drive through Ohio south of Lake Erie. It may be longer, but it is definitely possible.
