Corning glass works? Was a free interesting place on our travels years ago. Might be on your route to the falls. Just looked on the net. Nineteen fifty admission now.

The Canadian side of the falls gives you a much better view and might be even safer. The American side of the falls has suffered a massive economic decline. Consider doing the maid of the mist boat. They garb you in raingear and take the boat up close to the falls.
