INFORMATION ABOUT THE NIAGARA FALLS AREA
Let get right into the “mist” of things by visiting the world-famous Niagara Falls and the host of surrounding attractions. The mighty cascades are just one of the many adventures available to both thrill seekers and those a little less daring. Don a raincoat and trek into the base of the Falls at the Cave of the Winds or jump aboard the Maid of the Mist and see what the Falls look like from the bottom up. Or, take a leisurely stroll through Niagara Falls State Park, the oldest state park in the country, and take in the many breathtaking sights on Goat Island. Other area attractions include the Aquarium of Niagara and the Niagara Aerospace Museum. And what trip to the Falls would be complete without stopping by the Daredevil Museum and seeing first hand the barrels used by thrill seekers attempting to go over one of the Wonders of the World - just don’t get any ideas!
