Day 1 at Niagara Falls

White Water Walk

White Water Walk is a boardwalk situated on the very edge of Niagara's whitewater. An elevator from the top takes you 230 feet below, to the bottom of the Niagara Gorge. A visit to this place gives you the chance to be awestruck by looking at the sheer force of the Niagara River’s Class 6 white-water rapids. Take a pitstop at one of the observation platforms and enjoy the spectacular views of 410-million-year-old rock layers of the Niagara Gorge.

Bird Kingdom

Brace yourselves for exciting encounters with exotic birds at the Bird Kingdom, the world’s largest free flying indoor aviary. The multi-level rainforest which is home to countless tropical birds provides you with an unforgettable experience of interacting with and feeding the fascinating birds.

Journey Behind the Falls

An attraction in Ontario which is operational round the year, Journey Behind the Falls literally takes you to the heart of Niagara. As you descend 150 feet through the elevator, a journey through the narrow bedrock tunnels takes you to the two outdoor observation decks and portals located directly behind the Falls.

Skylon Tower

Standing at 160 meters, Skylon Tower is an observation tower that offers visitors spectacular views of both the American Falls, New York, as well as the larger Horseshoe Falls. Also housing an arcade and a revolving restaurant, visiting this tower at dusk is a good idea!
