Niagara Falls Travel Tips

  • Bring your passport; you'll now need it to cross the border.
  • Traverse Horseshoe Falls via the 2.5-mile-long Rainbow Bridge, but don't forget to wear a raincoat.
  • On the U.S. side, get a close-up of the falls at Cave of Winds. An elevator ride brings you down into the Niagara Gorge, where you can walk within 20 feet of gushing Bridal Veil Falls.
  • Don't miss the shark-feeding shows offered every other day at the Aquarium of Niagara. The aquarium is located on the U.S. side of the falls.

Niagara Falls Travel Guide

It flows down the Niagara River, picking up speed as it courses along its ancient migratory pathway, reaching speeds of up to 30 mph before tumbling, hundreds of thousands of gallons at a time, over the craggy rocks of Niagara Falls. You can get the view with your toes just inches from both sets of falls, the American Falls and the Horseshoe Falls; you can also check them out from way up high, from your hotel room, or from down below, with the mist spraying up in your face.
