Fun Things To Do In Niagara Falls

If you have some time, you should make sure you add these activities to your to do list:

Watch The Fireworks Over The Falls

Every night the falls are illuminated with very powerful lights that are situated on the Canadian side in Queen Victoria Park. Those lights give the falls a different look. In addition to the falls being lit up, every night at 10 pm there is a 5 minute fireworks display that is sure to put a smile on your face. Stop up one night and check it out.

Snap a Selfie at Prospect Point

Down inside of Niagara Falls State Park you can get right up close to all the edge of the Horseshoe falls inside Prospect Point. This section is a great selfie spot.

Take A Ride On The Maid of the Mist

There is no better way to experience Niagara Falls than being on a boat that drives right into the gorge where more than 600,000 gallons of water per second is crashing down around you.

Head down to the Hurricane Deck

If you didn't get wet enough on the Maid Of The Mist, then heading out into the gorge on foot is the way to go then. The Hurricane Deck is a wooden walkway that is built against the gorge walls near the Bridal Veil Falls and puts you within feet of the water.

Check out the Cave of the Winds

Before getting to the Hurricane Deck, you have to traverse into the Cave Of The Winds. In its original form, it was a natural rock cave that went behind the Bridal Veil Falls and was 130 feet high, 100 feet wide, and 30 feet deep. A terrible rockfall happened in the 1950s and destroyed the original cave. Since then it was been rebuilt using wooden decking to give people the same experience.
