- RumzzzIrving, TX83 contributionsKnowing fully well Maid of the Mist etc will be closed for the season, my family and I still planned a visit here in December, because the state park itself is open year round. It wasn’t too busy, and we found plenty of parking - $10 per vehicle, and valid for the entire day, even if you move from parking lot to parking lot.
The gift shop was a tad bit of a let down, but we enjoyed the falls from Prospect Point. The evening illumination and 8 pm fireworks were worth the repeat visit in the evening.Written January 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The day was a warm sunny October afternoon, perfect for walking and viewing the falls.Written October 11, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SarahM49Columbus, OH50 contributionsTerrapin Point was beautiful at sunset and so worth it. Nice hiking trails. A cute gift shop closes early.Written November 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jordan MorningstarBurnsville, MN257 contributionsThe 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.Written November 26, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

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.Written September 9, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Becky CFlagstaff, AZ30 contributionsPretty views but nothing really to do just different views of the river. It's a quick walk over a couple small bridges.Written September 28, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Isabel CBarrie, Canada78 contributionsDisappointing. 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 CanadaWritten November 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- liamsnanna2014Wilkes-Barre, PA4 contributionsAwesome time. Great views and a nice walk. I got lucky with great weather too.

- ZumbaAsh51 contributionsOur 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.Written April 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- alvanniekerkOakville, Canada73 contributionsAmazing 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.Written April 14, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
