They say that the Canadian side has Better views , while that is 100% true, the view is all the same once you are on the Maiden of the Mist. The $20 is worth more than getting a visa just to look!

Perfect place to see the falls. You can take a boat, go up in a tower, walk on the boardwalks or just enjoy the falls and river from here.

Selim Karakuş

Really it was incredible natural area. Canada side is looks more enjoyable than Amerika side. But I don't have Canada visa 😒😒 Have a enjoyed for everybody😎👍🏻🇺🇸

Faisal .

Such great place, enjoy: th ed boat tour , halicopter 10 min trip, the jet boat adv, and finally do not miss to enjoy showery moments under the falls in the cafe of wind.

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

Just beautiful, elevator down to cave of the wind and the views of the American Falls looking up from the stairways and platforms . Power of the water, roar of the falls, wind from the falls and wet

Absolutely a must see in your life time.

The American side is less built-up, and it's a nice area to walk and see the natural beauty of the Falls. Some great views here.

Rebecca Sanders

The view was good and had a great time. From what I understand, the view of Canada is better, but we did not have passports. We still had great shots of the falls on the American Side .

Travel + Leisure

While there are about 500 taller waterfalls in the world, Niagara Falls is spectacular for its sheer power. It’s also more accessible than many major falls. Read more

Robert Caswell

the trolley tour the whole way then , keep going and stop at the three sisters and aquarium and more . when you are done just go back where you parked and go from there . most restrooms close@8 dumb

Khaled Ben

I saw the reality of rainbow and the reality of natural falls it’s amazing view don’t miss this I drive 7 hours it deserve that long ..

Ebrahim Bandookwala

Walk down to the edge of the falls for a great view . See from different vantage points to get a complete view .

Phyllis Box

Free parking for cars trucks Rv & buses in state park lot 3! Buy a $3. ticket right there & hop on the all day trolley that takes you everywhere you need to see of the Falls!

John Hankus

Walk by the falls for a nice scene. Not too much else going on here. Make sure you walk to goat Island viewing area and back to the American falls

Tim Shea

The American side appears to be on hard times. We are traditionalist and had to ride the original Falls tour boat; Maid of the Mist. Nice! It is a must do.

Jennifer Roberts

I would recommend you to take your bike with a friend and just go all over the place. It really is a great place to explore!

Yousif D

If you are looking for perfect view try to go to the Canadian side !!

Nicole Rodenbaugh

It's not as clean as the Canadian side , but come on we own the better part. Maid of the Mist amazing & there is another part you can basically walk into it. Walk over to Canada for touristy fun

Tian Fang

You should definitely pay a visit here, even though the Canadian side might be better.

Steph Fell

Arrive at 8pm just as the sun sets on summer and avoid the $10 parking fee. Also the observation deck is open and free. Watch the sun go down as the water falls light up

Rohan Dalvi

Maid of the mist and cave of the winds are must experience here ! If you wanna go for the aquarium show, make sure you reach there early, it shuts down at 3 pm.

Parth Agarwal

Get the discovery pass and try the maid of the mist and cave of winds. Get free sandals with cave of winds so try that before maid of mist.

Jake Smith

You can walk over the Rainbow Bridge to the Canadian Side if you so choose; there is a $0.50 toll for pedestrians to cross, but it is totally worth it.

Pavan Kulkarni

Exceptional views , definitely do the maid of mist , go around early afternoon for less crowd

Serhii Lutsko

The waterfall is extremely beautiful and different both at night and during the day

Ghadeer Alataa

I really love it!! Love the fire works and the state park so much ❤️

Yoly R.S.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING VIEW !... Plus, inside the visitors center you can watch in the IMAX theater the short film on the history behind Niagara Falls. Highly recommend!

Ahmad Batwa

Two things you must not miss: The Maid of the Mist boat ride and the view of the falls in the night.

Paulucha

It's big but not so noisy as I thought. The views are awesome. Go around and see it from every view platform .

Krasimir Semerdzhiev

Visit it in the early morning or late evening for great light for photos. Noon and afternoon sunlight goes right above the waterfall

Jason Shellhammer

Very beautiful, Canadian side is better in my opinion. But the US side is nice too. Different optically.

Katlyn Stevenson

Beautiful! Go on the Maid of the Mist if you're looking for great photos.

Becky Cain

Amazing experience! The town of Niagara is a little disappointing but the falls are not! Definitely will do the Canada side next time.

Jesus Nunez

Beautiful amazing place.... Will come back again for sure !

Marizza Witt-Doerring

Worth it to go on the boat to get up close to these massive falls

Lu Chen

Better go in the evening ! And don't forget the passport !

Jennifer Samardak

Lots of space to walk. Recommend visit in the off season. Great sights.

Occupy My Family Atlanta

Fast walker? Park at Three Sisters Island for FREE and hoof 1/4 mile to the Falls to avoid a $10 car parking fee.

Nidhi Chopra

It breathtakingly beautiful. Do pack whole days' food and 1-2 sets of clothes .

Angie V

One of the buildings just east of the Maid of the Mist has restrooms open late , even on a Sunday!

Cody Craine

Go on the whirlpool rapids hike . It's about a 2 mile hike leaving from whirlpool rapids state park and has some of the best scenery I saw during my stay in Niagara.

Samaneh Nemati

It was Super amazing!!! You cannot stop looking at it!

Darius Kalinauskas

The boat trip is a must! Prepare to be wet and excited:)

Lorna Gonzalez

Although it was beautiful, it was also freezing here. Never come visit in winter or spring.
