Packed with historic sites, amusements, museums, eateries and other attractions, it’s not hard to see why this city is one of the most visited in the world. Head off the beaten track for some peace and reflection by all means but the magnificent backdrop of this astounding natural wonder will keep pulling you back. Packed with activities for whole family, Niagara Falls is a definite must-see for any visitor to Ontario. ### Areas & Neighbourhoods in Niagara Falls **Clifton Hill** — Lit by dazzling lights from dozens of amusement rides, popular restaurants, gift shops and video arcades, Clifton Hill is home to the city’s main attractions, including the Skylon Tower and the Niagara SkyWheel. It also has a funky nightlife that’s sure to keep party-goers entertained. **Fallsview Tourist Area** — The launching pad for countless guided boat tours and viewing experiences, the Fallsview Tourist Area promises dramatic views across the Niagara River and is packed with all the amenities and restaurants you could hope to choose from. **Queen Victoria Park** — Safe to say, there’s no park in the world quite like this one. It has immaculately maintained lawns and a floral rainbow of spring and summer blooms. But what really makes this park unique is its unbeatable location right beside the Niagara Falls. **Chippawa** — Often overlooked, the nearby village of Chippawa offers welcome respite from the excitement of Niagara Falls. Brimful with charming architecture and heritage museums, Chippawa offers a glimpse into the region’s history and its peaceful parks promise a well-earned moment of peace and quiet. ### Things to See in Niagara Falls Many don’t realise that Niagara Falls is actually the collective name for three separate waterfalls, the largest and most iconic of which are the Horseshoe Falls in Ontario. Although from here the smaller Bridal Veil Falls are obscured from view, the region promises an unbeaten scene across the Niagara River to the American Falls, which as the name suggests, reside on the US side of the border. Enhance the view by taking the Niagara Gorge Wine Tour or, if you have a head for heights rather than a clouded vision, be sure to take a snap of Niagara Falls’ fantastically futuristic skyline, dominated by the Skylon Tower. ### Things to Do in Niagara Falls Fancy a dip? Don’t tumble over the falls in a barrel – the more sensible option is to head to Fallsview Indoor Water Park! Great fun for adults and kids, the park has a wave machine, several fast-paced waterslides, an outdoor pool and all the amenities you need for a fun-packed family day out. Top it off with a boat tour or helicopter experience across Niagara Falls, visit Louis Tussaud’s Waxworks or get hands-on with exotic reptiles and feathered friends at Bird Kingdom. You can also discover the city’s lesser-known gems with an Urban Adventure Tour.

With its blowing winds and powerful water, there is no better place to appreciate the forces of nature. The falls are not just pretty, but also very powerful; more water passes over these waterfalls than any other waterfall in the world. Whether you are a nature buff or not, Niagara Falls State Park is a fascinating place to explore.

Rainbow Bridge The Rainbow Bridge was built between 1940 and ’41 to replace the Falls View Bridge, which was also known as “Honeymoon Bridge.” It collapsed in January 1938, the result of an ice jam. The new bridge was constructed atop 50-foot (15-meter) abutments to avoid a repeat of the disaster. It is 950-feet (290-meters) long and sits 202 feet (62 meters) above the Niagara River. The bridge is on the border of Canada and the USA.

Maid of the Mist When you step on a Maid of the Mist boat, from either the U.S. or Canadian side, you are embarking on the second-most popular boat tour in North America. Get ready for an exciting — and wet — adventure past American and Bridal Veil Falls, right into the ferocious mist and spray of Horseshoe Falls.

Aquarium of Niagara The Aquarium of Niagara is small, but packed with things to do and see. Feed a Humboldt penguin from Peru. Watch California sea lions frolic, balance balls on their noses, then applaud themselves. Learn about rescued harbor seals while the trainers introduce each one by name and feed them. In summer, you can even help with feeding the animals. Wonder at tidal pool creatures such as anemones, clams and baby sole as they are fed individually by hand. Or, just wander at your leisure among the range of themed aquariums. You’ll see Great Lakes fish, such as sturgeon and trout, as well as creatures of the Amazon, including piranhas and seahorses.

Bridal Veil Falls Bridal Veil Falls is the central cascade of the three that make up Niagara Falls. It's the smallest of the falls, at just 56-feet (17-meters) wide. This cascade of water is separated from the American Falls by tiny Luna Island. It falls a total of just over 180 feet (55 meters), including the final cascade over boulders down to the Maid of the Mist pool. One of the must-see attraction’s of Niagara Falls is here at Bridal Veil Falls. The Cave of the Winds tour brings you just a few feet from the water — close enough to feel the spray on your face — for a unique perspective.
