Top 10 Things To Do, Activities and Attractions in Niagara Falls

"Composed of two falls that can range from a solid fall to a trickle, the Devil’s Punchbowl is a colourful example of geology. Dating back millions of years, the Punchbowl is a semi-circle of layered, colourful rock that surrounds the falls. A 10-metre high steel cross also punctuates the nature landscape, having been constructed in 1966 to, “bring light to the town.” Paid parking is found just a short walk from the viewing platform where visitors can also find great views of Hamilton Harbour and Stoney Creek."

"Besides its astounding natural beauty, the highlight of the Devil’s Punchbowl falls is the 450 million years of history it preserves in its geological formation. Different layers and colors of rocks reveal the evolution of earth through these years. This 37 meter waterfall at the Niagara Escarpment is well known for its unparalleled grandiose and beauty."

"East of Hamilton is the Devil’s Punchbowl Conservation Area with an upper and lower fall. Known for its unique rock formations and plunging depths, you do not want to miss this waterfall. A bonus at the observation deck is seeing the Toronto skyline."

"You'll be naturally drawn to the boardwalk that winds its way along the Niagara Gorge and there's no mistaking which way to walk to see the brink of the famous Horseshoe Falls as you will hear, smell and feel the water spray. Once you've taken in the spectacle of the Falls and the Niagara Gorge and gotten some photographs from up high, make your way over to Hornblower Tours (formerly Maid of the Mist), a ferry ride that takes passengers into the mist and furor of the Falls themselves. Don't ' worry; rain ponchos are provided. Note that Hornblower Tours are open May to October."

"Niagara Falls forms a natural rift between Ontario and New York State. On the US side, Bridal Veil Falls crash onto mammoth fallen rocks. On the Canadian side, the grander, more powerful Horseshoe Falls plunge into the cloudy Maid of the Mist Pool. The prime falls-watching spot is Table Rock, poised just meters from the drop – arrive early to beat the crowds."

"Located on the Canadian Side of Niagara Falls lies one of the great natural wonders of the world. For hundreds of years, Niagara Falls has attracted visitors from both sides of the border and around the world."

"You probably think you’ve heard everything you need to know about the Richardson Complex and the lore surrounding the asylum-turned-luxury-hotel on its grounds, but a recent episode of 99 Percent Invisible details its origins as a vision of the Kirkbride Plan (a more humane approach to healing those suffering from mental illness). It was designed by American architect superstar Henry Hobson Richardson, and had to compete against four or five other cities all bidding to host an asylum in Western NY. Buffalo won the bid because we promised an unlimited supply of free water to the facility. Today, what was once a therapeutic home for the mentally ill is one of our citiy’s premier brunch and wedding destinations."

"The overall environment of the Richardson-Olmsted Campus makes me speechless. On the outside, this historic building is great for adding an urban twist to your photos. While on the inside, the building is filled with natural light that allows for the perfect snapshot."

"If you want to enjoy a day of snow tubing, ice skating or sledding, head to the Snow Park Niagara Falls to play on man-made snow hills and synthetic ice surface. In addition to the Snowzone Play Area, the park offers snowboarding, skiing trails and a miniature golf course. As of February 2010, tickets for visitors 13 years and up were $20 and tickets for visitors between 5 and 12 years of age were $18."

"The Niagara Falls State Park in Niagara Falls, NY is the oldest state park in the USA. It contains the mighty American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls with views of Niagara Falls Canada.
