Niagara Falls is actually two major waterfalls—American Veil and Canada’s Horseshoe—which you can view while dining in the revolving restaurant of the 520-foot-tall Skylon Tower on the Canadian side. Experience the sight of the rushing water from the SkyWheel, a 175-foot-tall Ferris wheel fitted with climate-controlled gondolas. For a different (and most likely wetter) view of the waterfalls, board the world-famous Maid of the Mist to experience the falls up-close and personal from the Niagara River.
Although the falls are the main draw for many visitors, don’t miss the many attractions found nearby, such as the Butterfly Conservatory on the Canadian side or the Aquarium of Niagara on the American side. Shopping at the Fashion Outlets of Niagara is a must, followed by a spa treatment at your Niagara Falls hotel or an evening at the casinos.
Book your stay at our Niagara Falls hotels during the months from November to January to enjoy fireworks over the falls at the Niagara CAA Winter Festival of Lights. Or, if you’re visiting near the end of May, Springlicious is a three-day outdoor festival with live music on Queen Street that is not to be missed. Niagara Falls Beer Festival, also on Queen Street but held in August, is another excellent festival to attend where you can indulge in great beer and delicious food truck offerings. However, we promise that no matter when you visit, Niagara Falls is a sight you’ll never forget.
