What travellers are saying
- LAAEastPeoria_ILEast Peoria, IL144 contributionsThe park is walkable with plenty of paths and signs pointing to various sites. The park is where you can access the Maid of the Mist boat ride to the falls and Cave of the Winds where you get up close and personal with the falls! The new visitor center has opened but looks to still need more work to be complete. You can get something to eat, buy souvenirs, and use the restroom at this time. You can also find food, shopping, and restroom facilities on Goat Island.Written September 29, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Selena S11 contributionsWow! No words can discribe the falls when you see them for the first time! Lots of walking if you want to see everything.
We were there on a Saturday and it was very busy.
I would have given it an excellent rating but the signage wasn't great.
There are bathroom's and food here.
There is a charge for parking so you might as well spend a lot of time here.Written August 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- cctkMillerVancouver, WA302 contributionsWe were shocked when we nearly had the entire elevator and lower platform dock area to ourselves.

- BrakiWorldTravelerBelgrade, Serbia17,519 contributionsThis is I think the only Church in Niagara Falls (at least I saw no other). It's a nice old stone Church, however we found it closed during our two days stay, so cannot comment the interiors.Written May 29, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Linda BRaleigh, NC2,210 contributionsThe town has lots of murals around but this is a spot where you can see multiple ones down a small alleyway.Written October 8, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- stillgoinBuffalo, NY113 contributionsOur docent gave us a lively tour of some of the more celebrated residents of this 170+-year-old cemetery, the daredevils who sent themselves over the Falls seeking fame and glory and sometimes money. But the story I liked best was the story of one Captain who piloted a ship, an 1800s Maid of the Mist, from the base of the Niagara Falls to today's Niagara on the Lake. And the story I found most touching was the story of how Oakwood Cemetery itself paid for a grave and marker for a destitute person who attempted to go over the Falls fairly recently. As a history buff, I enjoyed seeing the Porter Family section, too. He owned the portage around the Falls before the Erie Canal was built in the early 1800s.Written September 16, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tesla20Lewiston, NY46 contributionsPine Avenue is now the "Main" street of Niagara Falls. Lots of small businesses and restaurants in this area. But we always thought it was sad that the columns from the old Niagara Falls High School were removed from the building and installed on Pine Avenue -- that was unnecessary and ruined the facade of the old historic school.Written August 16, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- EFW2014Woolwich, ME1,123 contributionsThe arch was cool. It’s in interesting bit of history in a historic place. Stone work was very detailed. It’s at the entrance/exit of the gift shop area.Written June 26, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- BuffaloGrydeBuffalo626 contributionsWatched a Niagara game here and was glad we came. This stadium reminds me of all the small baseball venues that I have seen throughout the country. It's really what baseball is all about, not the glitz of the major leagues. It's cheap, it's fun and it's a great place to visit for a game.Written September 3, 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
