Niagara Falls

1 of 3

Niagara Falls is a natural marvel of North America that attracts millions of visitors each year. The park has Bridal Veil Falls, American Falls, and Horseshoe Falls, which are all located on the Canadian-US border.

Your jaw will drop when you see the massive Niagara River roaring toward a 188-foot cascade at 20 to 30 (and up to 68) mph. The rapidity with which the river descends creates a thick fog and an audible roar that can be heard for miles.

Visit the observation tower, enjoy the most panoramic view of all three falls, or take the legendary Hornblower boat ride into the Horseshoe Falls basin.

The park also lights up the falls at night and puts on spectacular fireworks displays on exceptional occasions.

Giant icicles, chilling fog, and ice-covered trees and railings transform the falls into a frozen scene in the winter. On bright, calm days, the plume of mist coming from the falls reaches far into the sky and may be seen as far away as the CN Tower in Toronto.
