    A must do experience to witness the power of the fall. Too many people for the time slot, we waited an hour after entrance to take the elevator

    The whirlpool is a few miles down stream from the falls. It is where the river circulates around a bend causing a whirlpool. You can ride a cable car across the river and pre-covid times you could walk along the banks. Not a patch on the falls but if in the area worth visiting to watch the power of the river.

    The view from the tower was exceptional! We bought the day/night pass and am glad we had the opportunity to view the falls from that vantage point two different times of day. The elevator ride was impressive as well. The only reason I have it a 4 is because we bought the combo pass which included the 3D movie. I would not waste your time or money on this movie. Both the plot and 3D images were very disappointing.

    The story of the events of August 6, 1919 have been told many times. It was a terrifying night for the two men trapped some 766 meters from the precipice of the Falls. Moored on a rocky outcrop for a century, the 2019 remnants of tropical storm Olga led to record water flows in the Niagara River, causing the scow to move some 50 meters toward the Falls and turn on its side. The release of the ice boom in April, 2022 caused further breaking up of this valiant scow. Having beaten back the waters above the Falls for a century, what is left may soon have a watery grave at the base of the Falls. When that sad day happens, the scow will be gone but not forgotten.

    This is a nice photo opportunity. We happen to stumble upon it when we were walking around. Definitely safe area. Not sure I’d go out of my way to see it but worth the view and photos

    We couldn't help but notice the Carillon Bell Tower as we crossed Rainbow Bridge from New York State in to Canada. The Carillon Bell Tower is part of the bridge plaza on the Canadian side. The Carillon Bell Tower was completed in 1947 and is approximately 165 feet high. There are 55 bells that have a total weight of 43 tons. At one time, there was a carilloneur who played the carillon manually, but since 2001 and renovations at the carillon, the bells are now automated and play three times a day - every day. The Carillon is played daily from at: 12 p.m. to 1 p.m.; 3 p.m. to 4 p.m.; and 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. The Carillon can be seen in the movie, "Niagara" with Joseph Cotton and Marilyn Monroe in 1952.
