About Niagara Falls, NY


The falls are a major tourist destination, drawing millions of visitors each year. The views and the sound of the falls are spectacular, and they are a popular spot for weddings and honeymoons. There are two main ways to view the falls: from the top, or from the bottom. To get to the top of the falls, you can take a ride on the Niagara Falls Incline Railway. From here, you can see both the American and Canadian falls. If you want to get even closer to the action, you can take a ride on the Maid of the Mist boat. This boat takes you right into the heart of the falls, and you will get soaked! It's an unforgettable experience. To see the falls from the bottom, you can take a walk down into the Niagara Gorge. There are several trails that wind their way down, and you can get close to the rushing water. Be sure to wear sturdy shoes, as the rocks can be slippery.
