Things to do in Niagara Falls
Known for its jaw-dropping scenic beauty, thundering roars and shimmering rainbows, Niagara Falls has captivated millions of visitors. The raw power of six million cubic feet of water rushing over the Falls every minute of the day, is a genuine wonder of the world that can be experienced by land, or water.
Witness a World Wonder
Experiencing the Falls isn’t something you want to miss, but a trip to Niagara isn’t complete without taking in an afternoon to explore the natural landscape that makes up the nation’s oldest state park, Niagara Falls State Park, home to two legendary experiences: the Maid of the Mist and the Cave of the Winds. Spend some time hiking the nearby trails that are scattered across lush, postcard-worthy scenery. Venture out for a hike from the Niagara Gorge Trailhead Center, or up the ante with a more rigorous climb in the Devil’s Hole State Park. Whichever journey you choose, it will be one you won’t forget. Don’t forget your hats and sunglasses – from spring to autumn, Niagara Falls can be enjoyed completely outside. Be prepared to soak in the fresh air, stunning views and the roar of the river’s rapids.
