ActivitiesEVERYTHING TO SEE AND DO

NIAGARA FALLS STUNNING BEAUTY

Jaw-dropping scenic beauty. Thundering roars. Mind-boggling cataracts. Simmering rainbows. And the raw power of 6 million cubic feet of water rushing over the edges every minute of the day. Comprised of the American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls and Horseshoe Falls, Niagara Falls is a true natural wonder.

MAID OF THE MISTThe world famous Maid of the Mist cruises right to the base of the American Falls, then to the basin of the magnificent Horseshoe Falls. It’s a fantastic journey through crashing waters, surrounded by massive rock formations that have tamed the raging rapids for millions of years. An unforgettable 30 minute tour.

maidofthemist.com

CAVE OF THE WINDSGet closer to Niagara Falls than you thought possible. Your journey begins with an elevator ride 175 feet into the Niagara Gorge. Clad in a souvenir rain poncho and sandals, you’ll follow a tour guide to the Hurricane Deck, less than 20 feet from the torrents of Bridal Veil Falls. Experience tropical storm-like conditions, getting doused with the spray from the rusing waters.
