Went on 21 Dec, and turns out it was already snowing! I was so thrilled with the view -- way beyond my expectation. Additional ticket to Cave of the Winds is recommended, as we could see the falls so close. Arthur, the guide, is also kind & helpful.

The trip was tight, Niagara Falls was beautiful anyway, and the hull dried quickly when wet, unfortunately there was no time to enter Canada.

An unforgettable experience! Our guide was excellent, keeping us well-informed and engaged throughout the day. Though the bus journey was long, it was absolutely worth it once we arrived at Niagara Falls. The falls were breathtaking! We left the hotel at 4 AM, arrived at 11 AM, departed by 2:45 PM, and got back around 11 PM. A long day, but completely worth it for such a magnificent sight!

Niagara Falls State Park

Right after your Maid of the Mist tour, spend some time exploring Niagara Falls State Park. With over 400 acres full of beautiful scenery, you can walk through the pretty gardens, enjoy different hiking trails, and visit places like Prospect Point. The park is open all year and is a great place to relax and see the falls.

Goat Island

Goat Island has some of the best views of Niagara Falls, including close looks at the Horseshoe Falls and Bridal Veil Falls. The island also has Terrapin Point, a spot where you can see amazing wide views. It's the perfect place to visit after the exciting mist boat ride.

Rainbow Bridge

After your boat tour, head over to the Rainbow Bridge. This bridge connects the USA and Canada, and you can see amazing views of the American and Canadian falls from up high. Don't forget to bring your passport if you want to go over to the Canadian side!

Cave of the Winds

The Cave of the Winds is an exciting spot near the Maid of the Mist boarding docks. On this adventure, you walk on wooden paths just a few feet from the base of the Bridal Veil Falls. You'll feel the mist on your face and hear the loud roar of the falls.

Observation Tower

Right next to where you get on the Maid of the Mist, there is the Observation Tower. From up there, you can see all of Niagara Gorge and the three waterfalls. The tower sticks out over the river, letting you feel the power and beauty of the falls from above. It’s also a perfect place to take awesome photos.
