Recommendations

If you have time, consider visiting the Niagara Power Vista, an interactive museum that showcases hydroelectric power generation, or taking a helicopter tour for a bird's eye view of the falls. For a side trip, drive to Niagara Falls, Ontario, to see the falls from the Canadian side and experience its vibrant nightlife. To maximize your fun, book a full-day adventure package that includes activities like ziplining, jet boating, and wine tasting.
