What sights are there to see on the way to Niagara Falls? |
Travel Info I'm planning a trip in the summer from near Newark, NJ to Niagara Falls and want to stop at places along the way. Any suggestions? Travel Tips A reasonable way to go is I-80 west into Pennsylvania to I-380 to Scranton, then I-81 north to Binghamton, NY 17/I-86 west to Corning, then I-390 north to the Thruway (I-90) near Rochester, west to I-290 to I-190 to the falls. Scranton: Steamtown is probably the best railroad museum in the country. It's worth a visit on its own. Ithaca (north of Owego on NY 96) is home to Cornell U. and Ithaca College. It's interesting on its own, and is where you can start a tour of the Finger Lakes, with wineries up and down the sides of each lake. Corning: the Corning Museum of Glass has wonderful collections of both glassmaking history and technology and glass art, with live glassmaking demonstrations. Kids (and their parents) can do a project class to make your own glass arty stuff. Rochester: if you're interested in photography, the Eastman House is worth a visit. Once you get to Niagara Falls, head north on the Canadian side to Niagara-on-the-Lake, the cutest little town in all of Upper Canada (now known as Ontario), and home to the Shaw Festival theatres Source(s): Steamtown: http://www.nps.gov/stea Glass museum: http://www.cmog.org/ Eastman House: http://www.eastmanhouse.org/ Niagara-on-the-Lake: http://www.niagaraonthelake.com/... Other Travel Tips Howe Caverns in upstate New York. Man it is cool! This is a great site for off beat locations: http://www.roadsideamerica.com/index.htm... Also If at Binghamton, you take the 17 you can go to the Corning Glass Museum and then keep onto Buffalo... I have traveled many times from Buffalo to Sommerset, NJ and I find this way to be a little faster and MUCH prettier than going all the way North to Syracuse and then East to Buffalo. I also suggest getting a Garmin GPS (or renting one). With the GPS you can at any time search for food, lodging and attractions from where you are at the moment, as well as pre-progamming your home location and any other stops you want. |
