Niagara Falls

The city of Niagara Falls’ main attraction is Horseshoe Falls, one of the three waterfalls that make up Niagara Falls. The Horseshoe Falls are located on the Canadian side of the border, with the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls being on the American side.

Falling from a height of 52 meters, the Horseshoe Falls are often regarded as the most beautiful of the three waterfalls. They are viewable year round from many vantage points in the city including walking trails, viewing platforms, or by hopping on a boat tour with Niagara City Cruises to get up close and personal. 

The city celebrates its natural beauty throughout the year with several award-winning firework displays and a nightly illumination of all three waterfalls. In winter, the annual Winter Festival of Lights adds a festive spirit to the city. This free festival runs from November to January and features outdoor lighting displays throughout Dufferin Islands, the Niagara Parkway, and Niagara Falls.  

There is no shortage of shopping, dining and entertainment in Niagara Falls.

If you want to try your luck, head to one of the two casinos located in the city. For family-friendly adventures, there are plenty of entertainment options including indoor waterparks and several themed restaurants. Discover endless fun for the whole family on the 'street of fun', Clifton Hill. To get an elevated view of the city and the Falls, climb aboard the Niagara Skywheel or head to the Skylon Tower. One of the largest elevated go-kart race tracks in North America, the Niagara Speedway packs in heart-pumping excitement with every twist and turn.
