Niagara Falls - 11 Things to Do! (USA Travel Guide)

Рет қаралды 62,603

There are so many things to do at Niagara Falls in New York, like taking a boat ride under the falls, night fireworks, or a trolley ride along the Niagara River. Let us be your travel guide as we explore the US side of the falls and show you these cool places. Just a note that while the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls are on the US side and Horseshoe Falls are on the Canadian side, you can still see all of them.
This video is part of our epic road trip to all 5 US Great Lakes (Ontario, Erie, Huron, Superior & Michigan) where we visited Niagara Falls in New York, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Pictured Rocks and Apostle Islands National Lakeshores, Mackinac Island, the Porcupine Mountains ("Porkies" as they say in da UP), the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Ohio, the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit, the Lakeshore bike trail in Chicago, Frankenmuth the year-round Christmas city - are you tired yet? Oh and we ate a lot of pasties and fudge. Like a lot of fudge. So much fudge that we actually take no offense to the Yoopers and Trolls calling us Fudgies. We've been called much worse. Stay tuned for a ton of videos showing our adventures like dune climbing, kayaking, hiking or biking, that we will continue to link below as they are released. The United States of America is a huge place and this is just one small portion of it.

I would add Whirlpool State Park to the list of "must see" places in Niagara Falls. They got rid of the highway that used to run along the gorge, and the entire U.S. side is a green trail and you can walk down to the edge of the river at Whirlpool State Park to see the rapids.

Great suggestion. We'll have to check that out on our way to the Canadian side when we visit again.

Canadian side and pay to go under the falls, so worth it. Its thunderously loud, and tunnels lead to within 5 feet of the water rushing in front of you. So powerful is the best way to describe it. Did this 40 years ago and is still a highlight !

I heard you can do that! That sounds like so much fun. We’re hoping to check out the Canadian side on a separate trip to Toronto. We had a tight itinerary this trip unfortunately.

This is such an amazing list of things to do. Unfortunately we didn't visit all these places when we visited NF back in 2012. Maid of the mist was my favorite. The illuminations and the fireworks were spectacular. The Trolley ride seems fun to try..) Great Video.

@@MagellanandGreyhound I'm more connected to nature than "boardwalk action", so I personally prefer the American side, but I think it's important to be balanced and have fun on both sides. They both have something to offer. 😊

I am not kidding I was at Niagara yesterday too. But side note you should have included the whirlpool jet tours. I know they are not right at the falls but it is only a 10 minute drive and 45 minutes of chaos!

@jameskimejr9062 9 ай бұрын

My wife and I went up twice per year until covid. Canadian and American sides. They didn't mention the jet boat rides on the rapids,yes it's expensive but you need to do it at least one time. We went in July and October. The only problem in October was some things were closed for the season. Looking forward to 2024.

@MagellanandGreyhound Жыл бұрын

Whether you have one day or many, I would say make sure you do cave of the winds and maid of the mist early. Those get the most crowded. The fireworks will fill up faster on weekends so get there early for that. Everything else Id it’ll easy to just go to one from one spot to another

Maid of the Mist and Cave of the Winds are very popular and the later the day goes, the lines for tickets can get crazy. We did Cave of the Winds first, then Maid of the Mist, and then everything else afterwards. Plus, we thought it best to get wet earlier in the day and dry off haha
