If you have an opportunity to experience the total eclipse by taking a short trip, do it! I would avoid the tourist traps, though. They will be full beyond capacity.
A small park in a rural town will get the same eclipse as Niagara Falls or other big cities inside the totality area.
Be aware of general traffic, also, though. Plan to make a day of it, get to where you plan to go early and hang out for a while.
I was thinking of taking my kids to see the eclipse at Niagara but…these guys and the combination of a large crowd has me concerned.
