Choosing Sides: Niagara Falls From Every Point of View?

Niagara Falls is the largest waterfall on the North American continent and a popular vacation destination. It is one of the world’s largest waterfalls. Even though, it is not terribly high, Niagara Falls is incredibly wide. The Falls straddles the Canadian-American border and consists of three separate drops: Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side, American Falls, and the smaller Bridal Veil Falls being on the American side. Each side of the Falls has its own unique characteristics and sites for tourists to see. Many Niagara Falls Vacation Packages are available to help vacation planners get the most out of their trip to the Falls. One of the main attractions at Niagara Falls is the Maid of the Mist, which is a boat cruise tour of the Falls and has docks on both sides of the Falls. However, since Niagara Falls is so large, and there are so many things to do and see, most people typically visit only one side of the Falls per trip. The American side of the falls is primarily American Falls, with Bridal Veil Falls set off a bit by Luna Island. Prospect Point Park is the best viewing point for American Falls. There, there is an observation tower as well as a dock for the Maid of the Mist. There’s also a scenic trolley route that tours the American Falls, as well as an aerial hot air balloon ride. On the Canadian side, a key feature is Queen Victoria Park which is home to sprawling gardens and viewing platforms from which both American and Horseshoe falls are visible. There are underground walkways that lead into observation rooms that give the illusion of being inside the falling waters. Skylon Tower is another observation deck and provides the highest observation point at Niagara Falls, where one can see as far as Toronto. There is also a recreational path that follows the Niagara River from Fort Erie to Fort George, a 35-mile trek. Shopping around Niagara Falls vacation packages is the best place to start when planning a vacation to Niagara Falls. When at The Falls, finding the right activities can be a daunting task. It may be overwhelming with all the different choices. However, a vacation package can assemble the most affordable and desirable itinerary for any budget and any interest.
