Fall in LOVE with Niagara Falls

You'll Love Niagara Falls!

As one of the world's natural wonders, Niagara Falls is a top tourist attraction. Visitors are awe struck with its amazing 170 foot waterfalls. Standing on the viewing platform and watching them crashing down is absolutely spectacular! You can't imagine the sound unless you have been there.

Niagara Falls is actually on both sides of the border - United States (US) and Canada. There are amazing views from the American side. I think some of the best views are provided from locations in Queen Victoria Park on the Canadian side. Summertime is the most popular time to visit. Visitors who come between May and October rave about the magnificent fireworks and illumination show.

It's an easy destination to visit. You can fly into Buffalo, New York, as Niagara Falls is just a 35 minute drive from there. There are also many guided tours available - relax while someone else does the driving! I would highly recommend a side trip to Toronto, which is just an hour’s drive from this popular site. Don't forget to bring your passport!

The Rainbow Bridge lets visitors travel from the US into Canada (and vice versa). It takes just 20 minutes to walk across the bridge. There's a small fee to cross the bridge. Whether you go on foot, by bike or by car, you must have a passport or proof of identity. Adults can use a passport card or passport book, and a child's birth certificate will suffice. Visit the Canada Border Services Agency for more information.

One of the most popular ways to experience the falls is by boat on the famous 'Maid of the Mist'. This legendary water vessel has been offering tours since the 1840’s!  You can count on getting wet with this experience – but fortunately they do provide ponchos!  The falls can also be viewed by going up or down. Take the elevator down to the caves or book a helicopter ride for panoramic views. Located in downtown Niagara, the Skylon Tower offers an observation deck and revolving dining room.

If you decide you might like to spend a few days on the Canadian side of the border, there are lots of activities for all ages. Adults can visit the many wineries because Niagara is located in the Canadian wine country. There are also casinos and top-rated golf courses nearby. Families will enjoy visiting the Niagara SkyWheel, 'Marineland', a Safari Park, several water parks and the Botanical Gardens & Butterfly Conservatory. 'Old Fort Niagara' is located on the American side, which is a 17^th century fort that history buffs will really enjoy.
