The crash of water roars in the background as couples walk along the river and fireworks illuminate the scene. Come see what the efflux is about on a trip to the Falls.
True to its namesake, this city's number one attraction just happens to be one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. The continent's most powerful waterfall is the centerpiece of the city, and a variety of vantage points each offer a different take. There are also plenty of other things to do in Niagara Falls. After returning from an awe-inspiring viewpoint, it's time to explore the distinctive districts of Niagara Falls filled with dining, shopping, and entertainment.
If you're planning to visit this town, the question isn't whether you'll see the falls, but rather from where you'll catch a view. Queen Victoria Park is an accessible first stop featuring well-tended gardens along with viewing areas both above and below ground. For a closer, wetter encounter, take the Journey Behind the Falls and traverse tunnels that put you directly behind the action. Gain an elevated perspective on a yellow bug elevator trip up Skylon Tower to one of its observation decks or dining rooms. Or take another step up and hop on a Niagara helicopter tour for the ultimate look at one of the world's most impressive waterfalls.
Back on terra firma, marvels await just a short drive away. The Clifton Hills District sits right off the water and is home to wax museums, arcades, haunted houses, theaters, and restaurants, making it a prime destination for families. Head west from the water on Lundy's Lane to enjoy international flavors, abundant shopping options, and the unique national cultural experience of the Oh Canada Eh? Dinner Show. With so many attractions situated in such an epic natural setting, it's not hard to figure out what to do in Niagara Falls.
