It is total and clueless gringo bias.Stealin' my thunder ay?
I lived in the region for a while. Stick with the American side, the Canadian side is plastic-fantastic cut rate Vegas. USA side is still a park and I pray it stays that way. However, I highly recommend walking across rainbow bridge into Canada, the observation deck is .50 or a dollar. You can take the elevator down and stand right next to the falls.
And all of you know that his trip is off, right?

Niagara is not just falls and tiny territory adjoined to it. Not if you able not just drive in and walk very little.
Right on falls if you walk upstream where are parks and gardens. But you have to walk. We do walk in Canada here.
We have parks and walking, biking trails all way among Lower Niagara on top and hiking trail among the river. And Bruce Trail starts here as well. It is hundreds of miles trail.
Chinese temple.
Don't know much about Niagara Falls, but almost everything in western NY looks pretty good in springtime. Buffalo has plenty of sights to see, especially architecture. Check out the Martin House, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright... (http://www.martinhouse.org/). If you like ships and boats there's the Buffalo and Erie County Naval & Military Park... (http://buffalonavalpark.org/exhibits/ships), featuring the retired guided missile cruiser 'USS Little Rock', plus the WWII submarine 'Croaker' and destroyer 'The Sullivans'. Then there's the Buffalo Maritime Center that features small craft & boatbuilding.... (http://buffalomaritimecenter.org/). I must admit that Buffalo is generally better for sightseeing than Rochester, except perhaps for the George Eastman Museum.
I can't believe how tacky the Canadian side of the falls is. As tacky and tasteless as Las Vegas. The view may be better, but i'll take the natural park setting of the US side over the ungodly awful tackiness of the Canadian side. My wife and kids had a great time and that's all that matters to me. But I found the sleaze of the Canadian side very off putting. Why would they do that to such a beautiful and natural place?
I visited this temple. Perhaps it is better on a weekend when the Pagoda is fully opened up. Otherwise, it's a big pass. Not much happening there.
Sounds like you are not ready for any temple but for some ships
It is not tacky, it is busy.
Visit the Butterfly Pavilion on the Canadian side. You can turn your back to the Honky Tonk stuff.
+1Drive down to Letchworth State Park, only an hour or so from NF.

The Portageville entrance is closed while they finish clearing away the old "high span" rail bridge at the upper falls. The new arch span is beautiful and doesn't impede the flow of the river.

Cross the border and go down to the whirlpool.
Once you down, to the right here is hidden waterfall and accses to where whirlpool starts. On the left here is the trail among the Lower Niagara river.
Ontario winery route starts nearby. Last lock before Ontario Lake is fascinating once big ship enters it. They have observation platform where.
Among Niagara after Falls, big Cheese temple and cute botanical garden with butterflies stuffed house. All on Canadian side.
