A family of five—two parents, three teens (ages 15, 17, and 19), and a 19-year-old boyfriend—took a road trip around Niagara Falls, both in Canada and the U.S. Although it was pricier due to the need for multiple hotel rooms and the lack of child discounts, the experience was rewarding. They began their journey from Connecticut, renting a car due to issues with their own, and stayed at the Sheraton Fallsview in Canada and an Airbnb on a cattle farm in New York. The trip cost over $5,000, but the family appreciated the independence of traveling with older kids, who could entertain themselves and handle longer stretches between stops. Planning ahead and purchasing tickets in advance helped make the trip smoother and more enjoyable. Overall, the family found the experience worthwhile despite the costs.
