It’s All About The Water

Day One

Start the day at the Niagara Gorge Discovery Center to learn how Niagara Falls were formed.

Travel north to the Niagara Power Vista. This free attraction will explore how electric power is generated from the water that cascades over the Falls with interactive and hand-on exhibits.

When we say water, we mean water! For the truly adventurous, take a thrilling ride through the Niagara Rapids on the Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours.

Time for lunch at The Silo, overlooking the Lower Niagara River (As seen on Man v. Food).

Next, visit Old Fort Niagara, the oldest Fort on the Great Lakes. Take an escorted tour and learn about the incredible history of the Fort, witness musket firing demonstrations and hear a ghost story or two (yes, this fort is haunted)!

As evening comes around enjoy dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe Niagara Falls USA.

Time to explore Niagara Falls State Park. First, stop at the Cave of the Winds, taking the group up close to the base of the Bridal Veil Falls.

No trip would be complete without riding the iconic Maid of the Mist boat and getting "misted" by the water flowing over the Horseshoe Falls.

Before leaving the park, be sure to check out the Observation Tower. Bring your camera along because this is the only spot where you take a picture of all three waterfalls at once.

Day Two

Visit the Erie Canal Discovery Center, where your group can learn the fun facts about the canal's history and its importance to the economic development of our country.

Venture underground for a different kind of boat ride at the Lockport Cave and Underground Boat Ride.

Enjoy lunch dockside of the Erie Canal at Lockport Locks and Erie Canal Cruises then take a cruise through the only set of double locks on the Erie Canal.  

Don't leave town before one last boat ride! The Grand Lady Cruises is like being on a floating science museum. Enjoy the ride while you explore creatures above and below the water.
