Niagara Falls 2-Day Itinerary

  1. Day 1: Niagara Falls State Park
    10 minutes (2.8 miles) from downtown Niagara Falls

    Begin your adventure at the Niagara Falls State Park, the oldest state park in America. Walk along the picturesque paths to see the American Falls with its Bridal Veil Falls and Horseshoe Falls. Get up-close and personal with the falls while aboard the Maid of the Mist boat ride, which takes you right to the base of the falls. Don't forget to visit the Observation Tower to view the falls from above.

  2. Day 2: Cave of the Winds
    A 10-minute drive (3.2 miles) from Niagara Falls State Park

    Start your second day with a visit to the Cave of the Winds located at Niagara Falls State Park. Take the Hurricane Deck where you can experience the rush of the Bridal Veil Falls splashing on you as you walk on the deck just a few feet away from the cascading water. After that, explore the Gorge Trail that winds its way below the falls. The Cave of the Winds offers an exciting and unique experience for all.
