A true Wonder of the World! Such magnificent view even seeing for the _nth time. Canadian side has the breathtaking view ; American side is an up close experience. Falling in love over and over...

Simmi Harsimrat Parmar

It's a little crowded mostly but deserves at least one visit in a lifetime! Maid of the mist ride is a must to get the full view of the falls . I would come again to see the frozen falls in winter soon

John Hankus

Beautiful state park . Walk the entire path for some nice scenery. Parking van be a bit difficult so either keep your car at the hotel or find Street parking somewhere to save a few bucks.

Richard Revilla

Great park to explore and you grt up close and personal to the falls . $10 for parking free is less than 20 min. The view is not quite as nice as the Canadian Side.

Sensei Smiles

Don't miss The Cave of the Winds. A self guided tour that takes you to the bottom of the falls . You get so close you can actually touch the falls ! Totally awesome!!

TruthorDare.us

We dare you to boat on one of the amazing lakes and rivers available and fishing for a nice catch, follow that with a nice tour around Niagara Falls State Park where there are tons things to see, fini

Richard Nalezynski

A must-visit for tourists and locals alike! Start with the touristy part - Goat Island , Luna Island and Three Sisters Island - then work your way up the trails toward the Whirlpool and Devil's Hole.

Thomas Jannarone

The falls cannot be described. You must experience it. The best way to see the falls is by taking the boat tour . The boat tour is available on both the Canadian and the American sides of the falls .

Michael Holdsworth

Wonderfully scenic park with excellent views of the Falls . Much more natural and relaxing than the Canadian side. Definitely worth a visit.

Ming Koslowsky

A lot nicer than expected! We went on Maid of the Mist ($15.50) Prepare to get really wet. And once you get off the boat, do keep the poncho if you want to walk up to have a closer look of the falls .

One of the things you must do is the Niagara Falls. It's a drive but very beautiful to watch. One of the first places I went when I was a kid and near Canada .

Brandon F.

You'll be in awe here and is one of the places you should see before you wither away. The Canadian side had a better view of the falls , 'eh.

Weddings By The Falls -our day was special. You eased the stress. The picture's you took are wonderful and gorgeous. We really appreciate you talking the extra steps to ensure that all was perfect.

Alanoud Alrasheed

one of the best place in New York State you must go there ❤️???????????????? and of course you have to take the boat

Kelly Krause

My favorite view is from the lookout by the Bridal Veil Falls on Goat Island . If you look over the edge it drops right off. Plus, get close up to the American Falls .

Best photo-op is from rainbow bridge . Walk across to Canada , the view from the bridge let's you get all of the falls in one photo!

Christine Ha

Maid of the Mist tour . Go during off-peak hours for shorter wait. ☔️

Jodi-Kay Lofters®

Lovely park , though the view from the Canadian side of the Falls is more beautiful

3,160 tons of water flows over the falls every second. This accounts for 75,750 gallons of water per second over the American and Bridal Veil Falls and 681,750 gallons per second over the Horseshoe Fa
