"The first is one everyone can agree on – alongside the Falls themselves. There are actually many different vantage points, depending on the desired angle. The Table Rock Welcome Centre is one of the most accessible and takes tourists right up to the edge of the falls."

How to See the Waterfalls at Niagara Falls State Park in New York
"Unlike many other New York State Parks, there is no charge for admission to visit Niagara Falls State Park. However, there is no free parking in the area, so you will have to pay for parking somewhere either in the park or in the city of Niagara Falls. Without a doubt, the closest parking areas to the waterfalls are Lots 1 and 2 in Niagara Falls State Park."

Niagara Falls / Toronto 3-Day Itinerary
"Though the waterfalls themselves (Niagara Falls actually comprises three waterfalls, the American, the Canadian and the more meagre Bridal Veil falls) are the big draw, there's a whole lot else going on in the Niagara Region, so you'll want to devote a full day: 8 hours minimum, considering the drive each way is 90 minutes. If you have your own car, follow our directions for getting from Toronto to Niagara Falls. If you are a wine enthusiast or just to take in some striking scenery, allow time to visit the Niagara Wine Region just off the highway on your way to Niagara Falls. The wine route is well mapped out and plenty of signs will show you where to exit to visit any one of the more than 100 wineries."

How to See the Waterfalls at Niagara Falls State Park in New York
"Bridal Veil Falls is the smallest of the three waterfalls in the park. In fact, you could be forgiven for thinking it’s actually part of American Falls because there is only a very small island, Luna Island, separating this waterfall from its neighbor. Bridal Veil Falls is about 55 feet wide, which would make it a major waterfall almost anywhere else in New York, but it’s nearly an afterthought here."

"The smallest of the three waterfalls that comprise world-famous Niagara Falls, Bridal Veil Falls is anything but small. Located on the US side of the falls, the 56-foot-wide (17-meter-wide) waterfall thunders over a 78-foot (24-meter) drop. Its frothy white cascade is reminiscent of a bride’s veil, hence the falls’ name.More"

"Housed in a former church, the Buffalo Religious art Center is dedicated towards preserving religious art from churches that have been forced to shut down. It was formed in 2008 with this sole mission in mind. The St Francis Xavier church is where this institution is located and it is fascinating to see the building so beautifully preserved."

10 Best Things To Do in and Around Niagara Falls, New York
"Don’t judge a book by its cover, which should be the motto of this museum. Look beyond the waxy veneer, the often attributed creepiness, and consider a great opportunity to learn history from a more personal perspective. While the wax figures will always look slightly ‘off’ from a typical human point of view, the history that compliments it makes for a vibrant experience."
