Niagara Falls State Park is a renowned destination featuring the iconic waterfalls, as well as an aquarium and a variety of attractions such as Maid of the Mist boat trips, Journey Behind the Falls, Cave of the Winds, and Whirlpool Aero Cars. Visitors can also explore Niagara Falls Botanical Gardens & Butterfly Conservatory, Bird Kingdom, and Herschell Carrousel Factory Museum. The area offers diverse dining options and accommodations for different budgets.
Simply a magical experience ✨ Visiting Niagara Falls on the New York side was truly unforgettable. The power of the water, the sound, the view everything is breathtaking. It’s one of those places that makes you feel small in front of nature yet completely at peace. 🌊💙 The park is very well maintained, with clean paths and amazing viewpoints to enjoy the falls from different angles. I recommend going early or at sunset to see the sunlight reflecting on the water it’s absolutely stunning! Definitely a destination everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime. ✨

This was mine and my brother's first time in Buffalo coming to Niagara Falls. When I say this place is beautiful, it is amazing here. We went during the day time so it was decently crowded but not like how I had expected it to be. The park is plenty big and I like that there were easy to read and navigate signs all over the place. It was super cool to see the divide between the US said and Canada. It was funny to see how there are certain spots that people can go to for great pictures and not go across the border. We did see guided tours along the walking paths, but we choose to do our own exploring. We got to see the ferries that takes people close up to the water. I highly recommend buying tickets well in advance because they were sold out online (not sure about in person). Overall a great trip very blessed to have the opportunity to come and see the falls. I wouldn't mind coming and staying for 1 night to see the falls with lights. Such a great time.

Lifetime experience.. you will definitely try to visit once in your life.. My experience is beyond the words not just a photogenic or falls is beautiful but also falls generate electricity. Maid of the mist and cave of the wind are two different experience you will get.just casual walk on the falls are also great. Night fireworks are the best. Not only try to capture in your camera 📸 but also capture all that experience in your eyes too👀 you will feel peace and you will most happy person at that moment...

🌿 My Visit to Niagara Falls State Park My visit to Niagara Falls State Park was an incredible experience filled with natural beauty, excitement, and unforgettable views. As America’s oldest state park, it beautifully combines nature, history, and adventure — offering the best vantage points to witness the world-famous Niagara Falls up close. Walking along the scenic trails and observation decks, I enjoyed breathtaking views of the American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and Horseshoe Falls. The sound of the roaring water and the refreshing mist in the air made the whole atmosphere magical. One of the highlights was the Maid of the Mist boat ride, which takes you right to the base of the falls — a thrilling, must-do experience. I also visited the Observation Tower, which provides panoramic views of both the U.S. and Canadian sides, especially beautiful during sunset. The park is clean, well-organized, and easy to explore, with clear signboards, picnic spots, and convenient shuttle services connecting major viewpoints like Goat Island, Cave of the Winds, and Luna Island. 📍 Tips for Visitors: • Arrive early to enjoy the falls with fewer crowds. • Wear comfortable shoes — there’s a lot of walking. • Don’t miss the evening illumination and fireworks over the falls. • Combine your visit with Cave of the Winds and Maid of the Mist for the full Niagara experience. Overall, Niagara Falls State Park is a natural wonder that truly lives up to its fame — powerful, peaceful, and unforgettable. 🌈💦✨

Amazing views! Beautiful, surreal and serene! Fall colors at its best display! Scenic trolley is so cheap just 5 $ and takes you to almost all the pimortant points! This place took my heart away! Information center at the entrance of the state park gives you all the details needed.
Sanchita — Google review
Beautifully kept park. Gorgeous sights. We hit it around lunchtime, so it seemed a bit crowded. The information desk personnel weren't very lively, nor energetic to help travelers. The dining desk served burnt pizza or generic sandwiches that were extremely expensive. It's recommended to eat (a lot) before you go. Hit this place up for the sights, not the amenities.

What a great time! We went in the end of October which is the off season so it wasnt crowded. Its was cold though. The US side isnt as interesting as the Canadian side... fyi. Very scenic. Clean. And there was a couple getting married right next to the Falls. So cute.
E M — Google review
Absolutely mind-blowing experience! Niagara Falls is truly breathtaking in person. We did the Maid of the Mist boat ride, which was thrilling and gave us such an up-close view of the falls. The Cave of the Winds was equally incredible – feeling the power of the water right next to you is unforgettable! We also enjoyed exploring the souvenir shops, which had some really cute finds to remember the trip. At night, the falls lit up in vibrant colors looked magical and made for the perfect ending to the day. A must-visit destination!

Boat tour agency
The Maid of the Mist is a historic boat tour that has been operating since 1846, offering visitors a scenic and immersive experience at Niagara Falls. Passengers board a double-deck steamboat at the Observation Tower, where they are provided with souvenir rain ponchos before embarking on an unforgettable journey. The boat takes guests past the base of the American Falls and towards the basin of Horseshoe Falls, allowing them to get up close to the powerful cascades and massive rock formations.
The Maid of the Mist tour was the highlight of our Niagara Falls visit. My wife, our 6-year-old daughter, and I had been looking forward to it, and it lived up to the hype. The boat ride gets you as close as possible to the Falls, and the experience is hard to put into words—powerful, exciting, and unforgettable. Boarding was well organized, and even though the line was long, it moved quickly. Each passenger gets a poncho, which definitely helps, but you should expect to get wet—that’s part of the fun. We rode in the late afternoon, which turned out to be a great time. The light on the Falls was incredible, and the crowds felt manageable. Once the boat approaches Horseshoe Falls, the sound of the rushing water and the mist completely surrounding you make for an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime moment. Our daughter loved it and was laughing the whole time despite being soaked. The ride itself is only about 20 minutes, but it feels just right—not rushed, not too long. For the price, the experience is absolutely worth it. If you’re visiting Niagara Falls, the Maid of the Mist is the one attraction you can’t miss.

What an amazing experience riding the Maid of the Mist! I was not sure what to expect but was absolutely loving it! Seeing the falls up close is really stunning. It will get a little crazy between the wind and water so prepare for it! Overall was a really fun and surreal experience! Would do again!
George F — Google review
This is a fairly quick ride to the falls and back (about 20 mins). When you are close to the falls in the boat, you really don’t get great views because there is so much spray and/or it’s like being in a cloud. It’s fun if you want to get wet. Stay at the front on the bottom on the way out to get the most wet. Go to the back at the top to get the best views when heading back. Honestly We enjoyed the views from the Canadian side and above on the America side much better than from the boat but it was fun. It’s efficiently run. These lithium powered electric boats are new. There are only a few seats on the boat, but it’s so quick you don’t really need them unless you can’t stand 20 mins. The boat is remarkably stable even though there is so much water turbulence from the falls. I never felt unsteady. They provide you nice quality disposable ponchos. It cost $30 per person . There are many companies who sell you tours that include this but you can buy a ticket for just the boat .
Born R — Google review
I must admit I was hesitant to go. That was a good amount of money for a short boat ride and to see the waterfalls from a different angle but my wife talked me into it. Must admit it was a great experience. One gets an appreciation of the falls and the amount of water falling continuously from above. The tour was handled efficiently and the crew obviously knew how to handle the crowds and were experienced in handling situations. The views were breathtaking and everyone well behaved for the most part. After the boat ride were went up on the observation deck for more photos and views.

Visited during the beginning of October (they don't operate year round so be sure to check the schedule). This is a must do experience if visiting the Niagara Falls state park. How else can you get so close to the majestic waterfalls? I mean there's also Cave of the Winds but that's a more intense experience. I decided to visit during late afternoon so there wasn't much of a crowd. They load the ships every 20 minutes or so as each trip takes about 20 minutes. Definitely wear waterproof clothing or clothing that easily dries if you can because from the knees down, it will get soaked and maybe the sleeves too. I put my phone into a waterproof bag to capture the ride and a good thing I did because otherwise it would've gotten drenched. Tickets can be pre-purchased online or day of. Check the hours before visiting as they change depending on the season. An elevator took me down to the bottom where I got my poncho and lined up to board the ship. Apparently these ponchos are thicker than the ones at Cave of the Winds (so the rumors say). I made sure to pull the hood on tight and secured it with the plastic strings and it definitely held up against the waterfall winds! I got a blue one when I visited but noticed the next day, they were handing out red ones (twinsies with the Canadian Hornblower). Top deck is the spot to be to get the best experience. The ship brings us by one of the falls that has a light mist blowing towards us with a gentle wind. Then as we got closer to Horseshoe Falls, boy could I feel the wind and mist blowing my poncho around. My sleeves, pants and shoes were drenched and the water was blowing so fast at me that I could barely see! It was actually so much fun to experience! How else can I get this close to the falls? Wearing sunglasses also helped to keep some of the water out of my eyes. The ship stayed there for quite a while before making a U turn to head back to land. It really felt like I was in the middle of a torrential downpour. Afterwards, take another elevator up to the observation deck to get another great view of the Niagara Falls. Honestly this was so much fun, I definitely want to try the Canadian version too next time! And maybe Cave of the Winds (on Goat Island).

This is a must do at a reasonable price. This up close experience of the falls touches all of your senses! I took my 6 & 8 year old boys. It was a highlight of a month long trip. Ferries run regularly, are not overcrowded even during peak season, and while some of it was closed, there is a trail to view the side of the falls. Also, we prefer the American side. The general view from Canada is better on land, but the trails on the U.S. side have you in a more natural park like setting, it’s less commercial.
Ashleigh — Google review
Literally one of the most fun experiences we’ve ever had. We lucked out and it was a beautiful 70° day in Niagara Falls. We decided to do the quintessential family trip on the maid of the mist and got our blue raincoats. Board of the ship and were blasted by 60,000 gallons of water per second. It is not an exaggeration. It felt like the wind of a hurricane. My kids and I were squealing with joy and soaking wet. They get you very close to the horseshoe Falls in a way that you cannot see from the shore. In fact, it’s hard to see because there’s so much missed and your vision is a little obscured. I totally suggest wearing sunglasses and crocs or some kind of rubber shoe. Our captain was awesome and did an amazing donut in the middle of the water. We actually thought we were turning back into the Falls one more time.
Avril M — Google review
Went here in July and had an absolute blast — easily the highlight of our Niagara Falls trip. The whole experience is thrilling from start to finish. Ferries run every 20 minutes, and while the lines can get long, they move quickly and are very well managed. Each passenger gets a poncho, but you’ll still get soaked, and that’s exactly where the fun lies! The boat gets as close as possible to the falls, and the sheer power, wind, and mist are incredible. It gets very windy out there, so hold on to your belongings. Loud, wet, and unforgettable. An absolute must-do at Niagara Falls.

Horseshoe Falls is a popular destination for families, couples, and sightseers in North America. It's located near the Niagara River and offers an exciting array of attractions such as the Niagara Speedway, the Niagara Skywheel, and the Hornblower Niagara Cruises. Additionally, visitors can explore surrounding parks like Queen Victoria Park and Kingsbridge Park to enjoy beautiful views of both Horseshoe Falls and the American Falls.
It is a beautiful place to visit for couple of times. The horse shoe falls is beautiful and powerful than the other one. Too crowded so plan accordingly.

Love the falls, they are majestic, impressive, powerful, beautiful and fascinating. Only four stars because it's so overcrowded, crossing streets can take a while even tho the police is taking care of it. People are mostly extremely rude and pushy. Didn't even stop to push my kids out of the way.

I visited Horseshoe Falls this past weekend and it completely blew me away. The power and beauty of the falls are something you have to experience in person to truly understand. The mist, the roar of the water, and the sheer size of it all left me speechless. It was the highlight of my trip and something I’ll never forget. If you’re visiting Niagara Falls, make sure to take time to really soak in the view of Horseshoe Falls because pictures don’t do it justice.
Hassan H — Google review
Horseshoe is the largest of the three major waterfalls collectively known as Niagara Falls on the Niagara River. Approximately 90% of the water volume flows at Horseshoe, which takes its name from the long curved shape of the falls. Horseshoe falls is 820 metres in length and the falls are over 50 metres in height. You can view it best from the Canadian side at the viewing lookout directly beside Horseshoe Falls. From here you can watch from up close, nearly 2.5 million litres of water per second falling and crashing into the river below. The tremendous volume creates a beautiful spectacle accompanied by water mist that shoots upward a couple hundred metres into the sky. Visitors can also take boat rides on the lower Niagara River from both the US and Canadian sides, putting you directly beneath the Horseshoe Falls to experience the natural wonder directly from the water.
Brad — Google review
An absolutely breathtaking place that left me speechless. I could spend hours just watching the river flow into the falls. The sound of the crashing water is mesmerizing, and the sheer power makes you feel small in the best way. The mist is cool and refreshing and it sprays over you as you get close, adding to the experience. A natural wonder everyone should see at least once
Ignacio P — Google review
As the largest and most powerful of Niagara’s three waterfalls, Horseshoe Fallsis a breathtaking natural wonder that leaves visitors spellbound. The massive 2,600-foot-wide curve of cascading water—with over 600,000 gallons per second, tumbling down—creates a thunderous roar. The vibrant rainbows dancing in the spray add to the magic, especially on sunny days. Whether you’re admiring it from the Canadian side (the best vantage point) or feeling its power from the observation decks, Horseshoe Falls is a must-see, bucket-list experience that truly defines Niagara’s grandeur.

Cave of the Winds is a must-see attraction near Prospect Point, offering an up-close and wet view of Bridal Veil Falls. Visitors are provided with ponchos and wooden walkways that take them within twenty feet of the thunderous falls on the hurricane deck. While it's guaranteed to get soaked, this experience provides some of the best close-up views of the falls in town.
I recently visited the Cave of the Winds at Niagara Falls on August 3, 2025, and it was an unforgettable experience! I would confidently give it a glowing five-star rating. My favorite part of the adventure was going under the falls. Feeling the power of the cascading water up close was both exhilarating and awe-inspiring. The biggest highlight for me was simply the water itself—its sheer force and beauty were truly mesmerizing. While the experience was fantastic, one suggestion for improvement would be to enhance the ponchos provided, as you still get quite wet despite wearing them. A more effective waterproof covering would make the adventure even more enjoyable for those who prefer to stay a bit drier. Overall, Cave of the Winds is a must-visit attraction that offers a thrilling, immersive encounter with one of nature's wonders. Highly recommended!
Tarushv K — Google review
The Cave of the Winds was one of the most unforgettable parts of our Niagara Falls trip! The experience of standing so close to the mighty falls is absolutely thrilling and unlike anything else. The sound of the rushing water, the cool mist, and the sheer power of the falls make it an adventure you’ll never forget. Be prepared to get soaked from head to toe but that’s all part of the fun! They provide ponchos and special sandals, which are really helpful for navigating the wet wooden walkways. The Hurricane Deck is the highlight, where you’re right under the falls and can actually feel the force of the water pounding down just a few feet away. It’s both exhilarating and refreshing, especially on a warm day. Since this is a very popular attraction, I’d recommend buying tickets in advance and arriving early in the day to avoid the heaviest crowds. On busy weekends and holidays, the lines can get long. Overall, Cave of the Winds is a must-do experience at Niagara Falls. It’s exciting, adventurous, and gives you a completely different perspective of the falls up close. Whether you’re traveling with family, friends, or even solo, this is an attraction you don’t want to miss!
Mithlesh T — Google review
The Cave of the Winds is absolutely amazing. Worth every penny for this experience. You will get wet. Very wet. Bring water shoes. It starts with a gallery with some history of the Cave and Goat Island. This is followed by a short movie which helps you understand more history of the industries in the past. Then the main event, down to the Decks. The elevators are smaller but it is worth it. You are literally in the flow of both water falls. Just increible. The Hurricane Deck the best part. Go in and get wet. It is safe and the water is super clean. Bicycle racks nearby. Paid parking in effect. Tram stops out front. Get tickets in packages to save money. The path below has been recently repaved and decks have been repaired (Oct 2025). Overall the decks are in very good shape. Free clean washrooms at the top. It can be very busy during the peak season. Do not climb over the barriers. You're a goner. No Free WiFi.

One of best experience in my life! We got very wet because we went all the way to the end. But it was worth it. When else can you experience this? If you go here, go under the waterfall! Gather your courage and go! If it's very windy, wait for the wind to change! Wear non-slip slippers and short clothes so you don't get too wet. It's a wonderful, wonderful experience.

💦 My Visit to Cave of the Winds – Niagara Falls My visit to the Cave of the Winds was one of the most thrilling and immersive experiences at Niagara Falls State Park. This attraction lets you feel the true power of the falls up close — not just see them from afar. After taking an elevator 175 feet down into the Niagara Gorge, I followed wooden walkways that led right to the base of the Bridal Veil Falls. The closer I got, the louder the roar of the water became, and soon I was completely surrounded by mist and spray. Standing on the Hurricane Deck, just a few meters from the cascading falls, was absolutely exhilarating — it felt like standing in the middle of a tropical storm! The park provides a poncho and special sandals, but be ready to get drenched — and love every second of it. The experience is well-organized, safe, and an absolute must-do for anyone visiting Niagara Falls. 📍 Tips for Visitors: • Go early morning for fewer crowds and great lighting. • Wear quick-drying clothes and keep valuables waterproof. • The Hurricane Deck offers the best photo and video moments — but be ready for a full soak! • Combine this with Maid of the Mist and Observation Tower for the complete Niagara adventure. Overall, Cave of the Winds is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that lets you feel Niagara’s raw power — thrilling, refreshing, and unforgettable! 🌊🌈✨

100% a great experience. We loved it!!! We weren’t prepared for how wet we would get but it was worth it. A couple of tips. I brought some sandals in a back pack and that was so nice because my wives shoes got soaked. The poncho they give you is sufficient for keeping you dry unless you have long pants and shoes on. I had shorts on and the bottom half of my shorts got wet. We just paid right at the entrance. It was easy. They take you through a museum that tells you about the history of the falls and you watch a short movie then they take you down the elevator to the walk path. It really didn’t take to long to go through the line and be on the path. You will love it just go.

This is one of the most amazing places in the world! I love those spot! It was and continues being a great part of my love story. It is a magical site that I fully recommend to anyone! Just bear mind that it is definitely better to visit it during weekdays as it is way too crowded during the weekend, which means finding a parking spot may be challenging and the wait times for the attractions may be long and too hot if you visit during the summer!

Queen Victoria Park is a historic and picturesque park located at the heart of the Niagara Parks. It offers a visual spectacle throughout the seasons, featuring beautiful flower gardens and horse-drawn carriage tours. The park celebrates every season with stunning displays, from spring daffodils to winter frost on tree branches.
Beautifully laid out lawns and flowers. Very peaceful. So quiet and calm to walk around or rest after walking a lot to the Falls and up and down the streets with so much activity and so many people. A nice, peaceful and quiet break to the day.

Queen Victoria Park in Niagara Falls is a beautiful garden location set among some of the prettiest scenery one is likely to find in Canada. It is swept with beautiful grass gardens that will charm you, nothing really feels out of place. It is the main area for viewing and experiencing Niagara Falls. Spectacular scenic panoramas of the Falls await you every day of the year Laced with lush gardens and winding paths, Queen Victoria Park is the front-row seat to the falls. It’s situated directly across the gorge from the cascades and offers some of the best vantage points to see the American and Canadian Horseshoe falls, and the more than 100 fireworks displays that illuminate the skies above the brink each year. Several popular area attractions, including Journey Behind the Falls and Niagara City Cruises, leave from the park grounds. There are not many places Canada that you could see such a display of nature, even the winter months have something beautiful to offer with stark, sweeping trees and branches gracing Queen Victoria Park.

A beautiful area to walk through, to admire the flower gardens, shrubs, trees and wildlife. A relaxing spot, where you can catch a view of the American Falls, or the Canadian Horseshoe falls. There are restrooms nearby, and spots to picnic. Sometimes a refreshing break from the hustle and bustle of Clifton Hill.

Nestled on the border between the United States and Canada, American Falls is one of the three stunning waterfalls that make up the iconic Niagara Falls. This majestic waterfall stands at an impressive height of 59 meters (about 180 feet) and spans a width of 260 meters. It boasts a remarkable water flow rate, estimated at around 75,000 gallons per second, making it a breathtaking sight to behold. Visitors flock to American Falls year-round to experience its natural beauty and power.
I feel the best view is from the Canadian side where you can see the full falls in all their glory. The American side offers a closer look at the river and rapids—still a cool experience. Caught the nighttime lights for the first time—bright beams illuminating the falls once it’s fully dark. In summer (Fri–Sun), there’s also a short fireworks show (just over 5 minutes) near the American Falls, likely launched from the Canadian side. A fun bonus to end the night. 📸 Jedi tip: arrive early on fireworks nights for a good viewing spot.

All I can say is what a spectacular view!!!! The park is huge, and the walkway all around the falls is perfect. The only reason why i gave it 4 starts is because the restroom there is, " All Welcome." It's unisex. I am not comfortable using the same bathroom with the opposite sex in there as well

The American Falls at Niagara Falls is beautiful and powerful to see up close. You can get great views from the Observation Tower and walk really close on the paths. It’s a peaceful and scenic spot. Though, often less talked about than the Horseshoe falls, it still is scenic and beautiful.

Love the falls but the rudeness of people takes the fun out. I do prefer to go on a weekday in winter when it's not crowded and you get actually to enjoy the falls with people who adore them and respect other human beings.

If you have not did this as a vacation. Im telling you to do this one. Actually you can do this vacation in two days. One day for each side. But the american side will do. Not expensive at all. Park never closes. Bring water shoes. You will get wet. I truly enjoyed this trip with my grandson. A lot of walking. I would start at one of the ends, then work your way to the other two falls. Bring some comfy shoes. Park food was not good. I loved the falls.

It was really an amazing experience in Niagara Falls! The three falls were majestic and wonderful as I was awe-struck by the waterfall flow. This is one of the World's Most Beautiful places you can ever go to. This is a natural wonder to the people that love exploring natural waterfalls.

Bridal Veil Falls is a captivating natural wonder located at Niagara Falls Park. It is the smallest of the three waterfalls in the area but still impressive in size. The delicate veil-like appearance of the waterfall as it gracefully cascades over rocks creates a mesmerizing and romantic ambiance, making it an ideal spot for visitors of all ages, especially couples. Well-maintained pathways provide comfortable access to appreciate the beauty of this enchanting waterfall up close.
Unforgettable Boat Ride at Bridal Veil Falls! My trip to Bridal Veil Falls by boat was an absolutely unforgettable experience! Approaching the falls from the water gives you a unique perspective that you simply can’t get from hiking alone. As we got closer, the thunderous sound of the water crashing down and the refreshing mist in the air created an exhilarating atmosphere. The view from the boat was stunning—seeing the water cascading down like a bridal veil, surrounded by lush greenery, was mesmerizing. The boat captain gave us plenty of time to take in the scenery and capture some amazing photos. You really feel the power of nature up close, and the cool spray from the falls was a welcome refreshment on a warm day. The boat ride itself was smooth, and the crew was friendly and knowledgeable, sharing interesting facts about the falls and the surrounding area. It’s an experience I highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy the falls from a different perspective. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned adventurer, seeing Bridal Veil Falls by boat is an absolute must. I’ll definitely be back for another ride! This captures the experience from a boat rider’s perspective. Let me know if you’d like any adjustments!

In summers it’s a best place a person can go to. Water showering every where, windy, pleasant view, rich history multiple cuisines options makes Niagara a perfect summer destination. I know everyone says Niagara view is best from Canada side but from US side also it was worth it because of made of mist ride. It was breathtaking experience. Overall I would definitely suggest you visit it once in summers.

The Bridal Veil Falls are on the Niagara Falls, New York side. They are part of the American Falls, but they are separated from the American Falls by some rocks and the freedom of water taking its way. They are beautiful. You can take a great view if you step on Luna Island. The complete area logistics is done by the Niagara Parks State Park. Highly recommended site.

Bridge
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
The Rainbow International Bridge is a pedestrian-friendly bridge that provides stunning views of Niagara Falls, often adorned with rainbows. This iconic structure was completed in 1941 after the collapse of its predecessor, the Honeymoon Bridge. Renowned for its architectural beauty and outstanding vistas, the bridge earned its name from an engraving of a passage from the Book of Genesis referencing the bow in the cloud.
We crossed back into the US using the Rainbow Bridge. It was so easy and the views of the falls was amazing. Going through customs was simple and efficient. All you have to do is answer honestly, follow common-sense rules and show a valid passport. The merge afterwards was easy as well. We took my mother to Niagara Falls for her birthday and was thought it would be too complicated and that's why she never visited. Even she said it was easy and she thought it was cool and simple. I'd highly recommend going to the Ontario side. You get an excellent view of the bridge and the falls. On top of that, the people in Canada were so friendly that we would definitely want to come back. Next time we'll take the Rainbow Bridge in for the view of the falls and Ontario.
Chris — Google review
Walking across the Rainbow Bridge was such a cool experience. The view of both the American and Canadian Falls is honestly amazing and way better than I expected. Crossing was super easy, just $1 to walk over, and customs didn’t take long at all absolutely worth it. If you’re visiting Niagara, don’t skip this spot❤️

So cool to be able to walk across to Canada conveniently when we visited the Niagara falls state park in NY. There was no line on a Monday afternoon first week of October so it was very easy to just walk over and no custom checkpoint till you reach the Canada side. Be sure to stop at the Canada Us boundary sign in the middle of the bridge. View of the falls was beautiful from the bridge and across on the Canada side. On the return, you pay $1 toll fee either by cash or credit card at the Canada side, and then go through immigration at the US side. There was a short line of people queuing up in the early evening.

Crossed the bridge from the US to Canada. Park on the US side at parking lot #1 and make the easy walk across. Border Patrol isn't until you reach the Canadian side, so stop on the bridge and take a million pictures. $1 return fee to the US and it must be in quarters/bills. Now I can say I walked to another country, how neat.
Alex B — Google review
For one dollar, you can walk from the Canadian side across the bridge to the border in the middle. Be sure to have change for the ticket machine. The view is great. Definitely worth it. The way back is through the Canadian border control. So be sure to take your passport with you, otherwise you'll have serious problems.

Although the views are breathtaking, the people working the bridge have no manners, our road and emotionless. The motor went out in the window of my driver's side, and when I opened the door to hand them my passport, they made me shut my car off and were very rude to me. They got VERY personal.

We parked on the Canadian side of the Falls and walked over to the U.S side thru Rainbow Bridge to get to Maid of the Mist. It was a short walk on the bridge and you’re able to see nice views and take some pictures. The day we went, during the week, the line to get to the U.S side wasn’t bad but on our return, we waited about 40 minutes to get back to Canada.its a nice experience having to walk the bridge to get to both sides of the falls.

The Niagara Falls Underground Railroad Heritage Center, which opened in May 2018, is dedicated to sharing the authentic stories of abolitionists and freedom seekers in Niagara Falls. The center's permanent exhibition, "One More River to Cross," showcases the courageous actions of black residents and their role in the Underground Railroad. This museum serves as a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by enslaved individuals seeking sanctuary in Canada during the 19th century.
We arrived to the museum right when it was opening. We were early for their scheduled tours but Taj went ahead and accommodated us for a tour anyways. He did an excellent job explaining the displays and making conversations about them. This was an amazing addition to our trip. Highly recommend

United Auto European Foreign & Domestic has a rich historical significance, with ties to Native American habitation, early European contact, and pivotal events like the French and Indian War, the American Revolution, and the War of 1812. It also played a crucial role in the Underground Railroad. The presence of abundant water resources led to its early use for hydroelectric power, which continues to be important today. Customers have praised United Auto European Foreign & Domestic for their thorough diagnostics process and transparent pricing.
Excellent. I had an insurance inspection performed. They also do just about anything else concerning domestic AND foreign cars, just not body work. Jose was very helpful, pleasant, and knew what he was doing. Comfortable waiting room and right next to the factory outlets in Niagara Falls. I was in and out quickly based on what I needed today, but the outlets are right there. My new auto shop!

This is my go to no worries shop. I've taken 3 different vehicles here for a heap of different issues/problems. What I like is they're not miserable and are always happy to do the work, explain the work and answer any questions you have. The one vehicle had a ridiculous amount of problems that needed to be found, diagnosed and fixed for it to pass inspection. I really like getting the quote/work order sent to you for review and approval BEFORE they do anything. I've had a shop in the past do work without even letting you know let alone sending you a quote first. I got a quote for work on my truck, it ended up taking longer than quoted, however they kept their word and it was only the quoted price. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone and will always use them for any work I need done.

I brought my car in for diagnostics because I was experiencing overall poor performance. I was greeted by Rosa who explained very thoroughly what they would do during the diagnostics and the pricing so there are no surprises. The mechanic sat in the passenger seat while I drove so he could fully understand the problems I was having which made me feel like they really cared. He then drove it as well with me in the car and could tell me right there a few things he noticed. When they finished the diagnostics a few hours later there were many problems found that I did not know about and it was very overwhelming but, they made sure to take the time to break it down and explain everything. They gave me a quote complete with all costs such as labor, tax, parts cost, etc listed in order of most important to repair to least so I was able to break it up into a few appointments. My car is already driving so much better and that’s important to me since I spend most of my time on the road! The team is so incredibly kind and knowledgeable I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Amazing place to see and the park is super nice. Parking is way over priced at 38$ and I find it a little bit shameful. Normally a very touristic spot parking is around 15~20$ here they really milk the cow..... but other then that if you’re in the area it’s worth a stop if you wanna pay that much to park.

Be very careful ordering your parking passes through their promotion. It was communicated that I would receive two passes. The second license plate wasn't known and I was told it can be left blank as optional but one plate was needed. Lo and behold I was only sent one pass. I would never recommend purchasing that pass as it's administered without any integrity to what is being sold

The write-up in the paper said the Festival of Lights would change from a Christmas theme in December to a Winter theme until Feb. 21. It did not say the Winter theme would be a drastically scaled down version of the former. Also there is no place to stop and take photos without impatient drivers behind you.

DO NOT PARK ON THE GRASS, no matter how many other tourists have done the same. We parked next to several other cars on the grass, paid for 2 hours of parking at the meter ($10) and came back to a $30 parking ticket. There are no signs indicating you can't park on the grass. None of the officers on bikes were directing us otherwise. I feel like they take advantage of tourists' ignorance with this.

Cascades, along with the Rocky Mountains and Sierra Nevada, left a profound impression on early pioneers and explorers who were accustomed to more modest landscapes. The towering cliffs, immense waterfalls, deep canyons, and majestic conifer-covered mountains of the Cascades were awe-inspiring to those from the East. This led to the establishment of national parks in these areas long before their recreational value was fully realized.
