I have seen this on YouTube and in photos but you have to see it in person as it’s truly awe inspiring and you get such a feeling of the power of the water. We went early on a Sunday as it gets quite busy after lunchtime. It’s definitely one ticked off my bucket list!

We parked in the big lot at goat island. Horseshoe falls, American Falls and Bridal Veil falls can all be seen here. Goat Island is also where Cave of the Winds is located. The trolley for $3 each will take you to Maid of the Mist and more awesome views. The very best views are from the Canadian side. Also on the Canadian side is the cute little town of Niagara on the Lake. The earlier you can get there in the mornings the less crowded. Only an awesome God could have created something so amazing.

Upon arrival as always, greeted with a smile and the warm chocolate chip cookies! This is always the best place to stay! The staff is very helpful and attentive! I hotel is very clean and kept that way on a continuous basis. All the attractions are within walking distance and you can even try you luck in the Casino. Only one downfall I can think of at this property, you have to pay for parking of your vehicle during your stay.

The falls are stunning and definitely nice to view from both the American and Canadian sides (I personally think it’s prettier from the Canadian side)! Fireworks at night are great too! Lots to do in the area but all quite expensive! I would highly recommend heading to the falls! Go on a boat tour, do the journey beyond the falls tunnels and visit the American side! All give great but different views!

Must see at least once in your life. Beautiful falls. Very touristy and commercialized. But still beautiful to visit. I would recommend the Canadian side. But it’s probably still pretty from the American side because they have a 1/2 bridge going out to see them. Canadian side looks at the falls straight on.

We made the 90 minute trip from Toronto and arrived in Niagara Falls to some on and off rain but this was ok. The power of the falls is incredible to see and the sheer water movement made me glad we had not booked the boat tour. We were there only to see the falls having little interest in the Coney Island like atmosphere of the town around the falls but others may like to overnight here. We parked right across from the falls and entered through the large welcome center.

The falls are majestic- a lifetime must see. Maid of the Mist is a non negotiable. make sure your party does this and goes to upper deck. It’s iconic. Journey Behind the Falls is recommended but don’t let them upsell on other tours. Just take Journey a la carte. Not sure other things are worth it. Photo is $44! No thanks! Fireworks are low so make sure you go to the river by American Falls. 5 mins in duration. The incline is worth the day pass. Table Rock Centre is worth a walk through. House restaurant was convenient, adequate but pricey- and can’t beat that dining view. Falls at night is highly recommended for a stroll. Plusses: Turtle Jacks and Margaritaville were spot on for dinners. Many other options for eating with easy walking distance from lodging. We parked car at hotel and walked everywhere. Bring your step counters and good sneaks. Hotel (Oakes) was ehhh except for highlights of the amazing view and awesome concierge. Lots more to do - we were there two nights.

Beautiful sights. Very busy over the weekend of Canada Day and 4th of July. We ate in the Skylon revolving restaurant. Saw the sights and did the boat ride. Went to Niagara on the Lake and it was very nice, quaint town, lots of restaurants and shopping.

Went away for the weekend just my husband and myself. If you have a hard time walking I would recommend a closer hotel as ours was quite the walk away. Went to the casino and a fort. Can’t forget the falls. Was disappointed that there was no fire works. Notice would have been nice. Then we would have not hung around so long. But it was a nice trip away. Just the two of us.

Value pack from Niagara Falls was well worth the cost. Enjoyed the power station, white water walk and ride. Movie was just ok, but loved the boat risen to the falks.
