Answer 3

The question is a little ambiguous.

You don't need a passport to enter the city of Niagara falls, New York from the US side.

Canadian law does not technically require that US citizens have a passport to enter the city of Niagara Falls, Ontario from the US side. However, in practice, they won't allow you across the border without one, because US law DOES require you to have one to get BACK into the US, and stopping you before you leave the US saves you from the hassle of being essentially stuck in Canada.

If you're a Canadian citizen wanting to travel FROM Canada TO the US at Niagara Falls, then you need a Canadian passport. You don't need one, obviously, if you intend to stay on the Canadian side of the border.

For the most part, no one is allowed to enter the falls themselves for safety reasons, passport or not.

Answer 4

No, you do not need a passport. You will be stopped at the border of Canada and asked why you are entering the country, how long you plan to stay, etc.

Answer 5

If you are crossing the US/Canadian border, a pass port is required. The best view of the Horseshoe Falls is from the Canadian side.
