Natural Wonder

Our Take

Stradding the US-Canada border, Niagara Falls has long been a kitschy tourist destination, particularly for honeymooners, thanks to Napoleon Bonaparte's brother Jerome, who brought his new bride to the falls after their wedding. American and Bridal Veil Falls are on the US side, and the much larger Horseshoe Falls can be found on the Canadian side, and there are plenty of ways to experience the incredibly powerful falls (for reference, 681,750 gallons over the edge of Horseshoe Falls every second!) Take a ride on the Maid of the Mist (prepare to get wet), experience the Cave of the Winds (prepare to get VERY wet), or see it from above on the Whirlpool Aerocar (don't worry about getting wet.) And don't even think about attempting a trip over the falls, in a barrel or otherwise; it's super duper illegal and totally dangerous.

The USA side of Niagara Falls is more enjoyable. Less crowds, less tourist traps. More nature walks and space to view the falls!

Pretty epic stuff. We didn't have time to go to the boat or any attractions but just walking around is well worth it.
Just something you gotta go see before you move on.

Parking is $10.
Got to take my dog all around the park Except any attractions and indoor locations.

Everyone always says to see the falls from the Canadian side. We visited in April of '21 during COVID and going to Canada wasn't possible. Don't let these comments persuade you. Visit the falls from the American side and still be wondered by now enormous it is. There is a park you can also visit on the American side that will get you even better views if you have the time. The park is very nice and when the weather is nice you can have a fantastic visit.

It was a great visit, not very crowded for a tourist attraction and a trip in the maid of the mist is a must!

Absolutely amazing! The US side of the falls is worth the trip! Lots to do and see even though everyone says Canada side is better and maybe it is but we did maid of the mist tour and saw the whole thing up close and boy was it was intense! Hindsight, rain boots would’ve been nice in as we choose to go on the upper deck for the full experience and our feet got pretty wet which would’ve been fine if it were warm outside however it was very cold BUT still worth it! Seeing a picture is intriguing but seeing it in real life is epic.

Some hotels were were considering for next time was Red Coach Inn which is RIGHT by the falls…walk out the door and cross street on you’re on the walkway. Another option we are considering would be the Sheraton as well because of all the restaurants, Starbucks and arcade on the ground level of the hotel especially if it’s cold outside. That would be nice to have those things to choose from to do without having to brave the cold again.
