Get Awed by the Falls
Get awed by the Falls! The Town of Niagara Falls and the Falls itself are ideal for explorers, honeymooners, and those looking to experience a good time and see a natural wonder known around the world.
Get awed by the Falls! Formed 12,000 years ago, the iconic and majestic Niagara Falls has always drawn explorers, honeymooners, daredevils and those looking to experience a natural wonder renowned around the world - any time of year!
Niagara Falls was named One of the 20 most beautiful places in America by JetSetter who said - "With 30 million visitors each year—we think everyone's in agreement with us on this pick. Make it to the border between New York and Canada and you won't be disappointed. Believe it or not, a mind-boggling six million cubic feet of water plunges over the falls every minute."
Hear the powerful roar and feel the spray of mist in your face aboard the Maid of the Mist or get up close and personal by climbing the wooden stairs at Niagara Falls State Park to the Hurricane Deck and then visit the Cave of the Winds to stand underneath Bridal Veil Falls, now open all year round. The park has several other attractions, including Prospect Point and the Aquarium of Niagara.
See the Falls in Winter
Not to be outdone by the warmer weather, the iconic falls also beckens you to experience "the thrill of the chill" when this natural wonder becomes a frozen landscape unlike any other. Framed by icicles and surrounded by a frozen mist, see how ice buildups help create an illusion of frozen falls - all made even more awe-inspiring at night with lights making it magical and unforgettable. The winter also brings the not-to-be-missed Fireworks Over the Falls!
Niagara Falls is alive with Year round Fun & Excitement
Put your game face on at the Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel or explore the variety of appetizing restaurants, unique shops and events the city has to offer. And there are even more adventures awaiting you in and around Niagara Falls. Taste the deliciousness at local orchards and award-winning wineries or visit nearby attractions like Whirlpool State Park, Earl W. Brydges Artpark State Park, Our Lady of Fatima Shrine in nearby Lewiston, Old Fort Niagara in Youngstown, and of course the largest must-see of all, the exciting City of Buffalo - which is a short 25 minutes away.
Did you know...?
The world-renowned Niagara Falls actually encompasses three waterfalls along the international border between Canada and the United States; from largest to smallest, the three waterfalls are the Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls and the Bridal Veil Falls.
