Niagara Falls

New York, United States

Niagara Falls, New York, is home to one of the most awe-inspiring natural spectacles in the world—a trio of waterfalls that straddle the U.S.-Canada border and captivate millions of visitors each year. The American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and Horseshoe Falls thunderously cascade over the Niagara River, creating a misty, roaring panorama that’s both humbling and exhilarating.

At the heart of the experience is Niagara Falls State Park, the oldest state park in the United States, open 365 days a year. Here, you can stroll scenic trails, descend into the Niagara Gorge, or get soaked on the legendary Maid of the Mist boat tour, which brings you face-to-face with the falls’ raw power. For a different perspective, the Cave of the Winds lets you stand just feet from the torrents on the Hurricane Deck.

Beyond the falls, the city offers a blend of history, culture, and family-friendly attractions. The Aquarium of Niagara, the Niagara Gorge Discovery Center, and the Top of the Falls Restaurant provide enriching and relaxing ways to round out your visit. And if you're up for a little adventure, nearby towns like Lewiston and Youngstown offer charming detours with wineries, historic forts, and riverfront views.
