I live about 30 minutes from Niagara Falls, New York. I have 3 acres and will be having a picnic at the house Saturday August 2, 2008. Friday and Sunday event details to follow. Weather that time of year is 75 - 95F and humid. Little chance of rain.
Closest airport would be Buffalo International. It is served by many airlines including Southwest, Continental, Delta, Jet Blue, Northwest and United. There are also several low cost airlines. Buffalo is one of the cheapest airports to fly into. Alternative airports are Rochester or Toronto (both about 2 hours away).

Lodging is in abundance in the area. Niagara Falls, Lockport, and Lewiston are the 3 closest areas. I recommend the Lockport Holiday Inn or Comfort Inn.
I would assume that several people would want to bring their families due to the unique natural wonder of Niagara Falls. Maid of the Mist, Cave of the Winds, etc. Other attractions include Lewiston, NY (proclaimed by Pres. Carter as the most historic square mile in
the country). Fort Niagara (owned by the British, French, Americans and then a WWII
POW Camp). Lake Ontario fishing (King Salmon, bass, etc.), 2 casinos (1 American Indian owned, the other just across the border in Canada), Darien Lake amusement park is 45 minutes away (formerly a six flags park with 6 or 7 roller coasters) , Darwin Martin House (Frank LLoyd Wright) is in Buffalo, Niagara Wine Trail (Niagara wines allegedly rival Napa Valley in reputation), Buffalo Bisons Baseball (Triple A affiliate to Cleveland Indians), Whirlpool Jet boats (takes you up the lower Niagara River to do high speed turns in the whirlpool and rapids), Artpark (free concerts on Tues and Weds variety includes Styx to Molly Hatchet, Hootie and the blowfish, etc.), Erie Canal (boat rides through locks). Allentown art festival, Many ethnic festivals in Buffalo, Indoor water parks. numerous golf courses, and many other attractions.
If you planned on Canadian attractions or flying into Toronto you will need a passport.
