Did you know that the Niagara Falls are essentially made up of three waterfalls? The American side was two whilst the Canadian, one! Nature’s work at its best, the Niagara Falls is one sight you’d want to miss, regardless of what side of the border you view it from. A visit to the Niagara Parks doesn’t just mean that you stand near the railing in your coloured raincoats, take a few pictures and be on your way. There are a variety of other attractions around the falls that you can see too!

The Horseshoe Falls is the most powerful waterfall in North America; it’ll be apparent from the noise the falls generate. The sheer grandeur of the Niagara Falls has attracted throngs of tourists for years on end, and chances are that it’ll continue to do so. Don’t miss out on the viewing decks that offer some stunning scenes of the cascading force of the water.

• While entry to see the falls is free, the surrounding attractions, including a few viewpoints and decks might come with a small entry fee.

• There are Greyhound buses that run between Niagara and the other major Ontario cities.
• VIA Rail services run from Toronto and Niagara twice a day.
