Niagara Falls (NY)
A natural wonder of the world, Niagara Falls is one of North America’s most incredible spectacles.
The sight of millions of gallons of water – around a fifth of the world’s fresh water – plunging over the sheer cliffs of Niagara Falls is truly awe-inspiring and unforgettable. There are three sets of falls on the US-Canada border – the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls on the US side, with the iconic 170-foot Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side.
The US side has observation decks at Cave of the Winds, and boat trips and helicopter tours can be taken on either side, but the Canadian side offers better views of Horseshoe Falls and has more attractions. These include the 175-foot Niagara Skywheel, the observation deck of Skylon Tower, Niagara Falls History Museum and the Niagara IMAX Theatre. Journey behind the Falls is also on the Canadian side, offering a fascinating alternative perspective.
One of the best ways to escape the crowds is on numerous hiking trails around the Falls. On the US side, there are hikes around Niagara Falls State Park and to Whirlpool State Park, while on the Canadian side you can hike further afield to the Dufferin Islands. It’s definitely worth staying in the evening for the nightly illuminations and fireworks.
