Embark on a walking journey through Niagara Falls State Park, leading you to Prospect Point and the captivating brink of the American Falls. Established in 1885, this is the oldest State Park in the United States. Along the way, immerse yourself in the beauty of Niagara's indigenous flora and fauna.
From Prospect Point, walk towards Goat Island, where you'll be immersed in serene riverside vistas along the trail. Witness the breathtaking rapids as they cascade towards the Falls. Stand amidst the awe-inspiring convergence of the American and Bridal Veil Falls on Luna Island. Journey further through Goat Island to pay homage to the historic statue of Nikola Tesla. Finally, brace yourself for the enveloping mist at the magnificent Horseshoe, experiencing its grandeur from the precipice of Terrapin Point.
After your walking tour, venture into the heart of Horseshoe Falls on the Maid of the Mist boat, where you'll be enveloped by the cool spray and captivated by the thunderous roar of 600,000 gallons of water cascading over the cliffs every second. Hold on tightly as you feel the raw power of the swirling waters beneath you, surging down the majestic Niagara River.

We had a great time in Niagara Falls!! It was great to get on the boat and see the falls up close. Our tour guide, Shelly was great and very informative. And she took us to not only the tourist places we wanted to go, but also recommended places the locals love and a new 4D ride that was amazing!!
