Hop on a boat to get close to the majestic falls, or hit the Cave of the Winds walkways to experience the Bridal Veil Falls. Niagara Falls State Park is a great pick for staying dry.

    Amazing in winter! Ice formations under and around the falls were really cool (and there were no crows) Even the teenager was impressed.

    The nice place to spend time with family and it has cool view of the falls. Took a boat ride to see waterfalls closer and took awesome pictures.

    Our grandchildren enjoyed their first visit to the Falls and the State Park. The day was a warm sunny October afternoon, perfect for walking and viewing the falls.

    Terrapin Point was beautiful at sunset and so worth it. Nice hiking trails. A cute gift shop closes early.

    The observation tower is a THE perfect place to go for photos of the falls from the American side. You get a gorgeous long shot include the American Falls, the tip of Goat Island and Horseshoe Falls. The view looking up and down the river is unforgettable!

    There are a lot of people who like to take photos from the tower, so be patient and take turns getting in and out. If you're just enjoying the view you can step back and let people take photos. There is visual opportunity all over the observation deck.

    Outstanding views of the whirlpool and class 6 rapids. The park allows for enjoyment in the green spaces and on the trails. Seems like a lot of buses with tourists come through, and the visitor center is closed for renovation. The parking lot is pretty large and allows for quite a few vehicles. No entry fee is charged.

    Pretty views but nothing really to do just different views of the river. It's a quick walk over a couple small bridges.

    Disappointing. It's no longer a outlet where you can get deals. After factoring the exchange rate, gas and meals it's cheaper to stay in Canada

    Our young children had a blast. We saw the penguin feed and the sea lion presentation. They loved seeing all of the fish and turtles. However it was $70+ for our family of four to visit for less than 2 hours.

    Amazing day out in the first crazy hot day in 2023. The trails were clearly marked and the views? Spectacular. Small kids may find this quite difficult. The drop is 196m so climbing up and down raises the heart rate for sure. The park and picnic area are pristine and a very large space with great washroom facilities.
