If you like gardens, the Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens and Butterfly Conservancy are about 10 minutes north of Niagara Falls, along the River. Ten minutes north of the gardens is the lovely Victorian town of Niagara-on-the-Lake -- more gardens and historic sites.

But, if you feel like making a pitt stop on your way down to Niagara on Monday morning, you should check out HMCS Haida, National Historic Site of Canada in Hamilton (http://www.pc.gc.ca/eng/lhn-nhs/on/haida/index.aspx). Otherwise, you could complete your "falls" experience by taking a small detour to see the many beautiful waterfalls in the Hamilton area (http://www.conservationhamilton.ca/index.php?option=com_content&view=articl e&id=61&Itemid=64). I hope you enjoy your stay, and the game!
