About Niagara Falls

Since its formation 12,000 years ago, Niagara Falls has been a destination for world explorers, honeymooners and daredevils alike. Only here can you get closer than you ever imagined to the American, Horseshoe and Bridal Veil Falls – and create mist-covered memories to last a lifetime.

Don your poncho (provided) and soak in the power and beauty of Niagara Falls aboard the iconic Maid of the Mist, or climb the wooden stairs to the Hurricane Deck on Cave of the Winds and feel tropical-storm like conditions as you stand underneath the Bridal Veil Falls. Or if you’re more of an explorer, follow the walking path throughout Niagara Falls State Park, designed by landscape architect, Frederick Law Olmsted – and enjoy over 400 acres of natural, lush terrain and protected wildlife.

Open year-round, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, Niagara Falls State Park offers a nightly illumination of the Falls, along with seasonal fireworks, setting the scene for your next adventure with family, friends or your significant other.

Venture beyond the Park and hike the Niagara Gorge, or skim across the mighty Niagara River through Class V rapids on a high-speed jet boat with Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours. Hire a charter boat captain and reel in a catch of a lifetime, or get a birds-eye view of the action with a helicopter ride over Niagara Falls with Rainbow Air, Inc. Helicopter Tours. Be part of history at Old Fort Niagara, or cruise through it in Lockport on the historic Erie Canal. Whatever adventure you choose, you’re certain to be moved by the sights, sounds and soul of Niagara Falls USA.
