WNY Destination Spotlight: Niagara Falls

This month we are highlighting Niagara Falls, courtesy of Vicki Leavens!

One of the many breathtaking sites in WNY is definitely Niagara Falls. It is only about 30 minutes away from the Buffalo area and it’s something everyone should experience. The waterfalls, referred to by us locals as “The Falls”, straddle the Canadian and United States border. There are 3 waterfalls that make up The Falls; the Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls, and the Bridal Veil Falls.

Besides standing with the crowd and looking down at the Falls, you can also take tours that bring you much closer. One of the many activities offered is the Maid of the Mist boat tour which takes you up close. But don’t forget your poncho! There’s also the Cave of the Winds, which is a tour that takes you beneath the Falls.

Summertime isn’t the only time that the Falls are a WNY hotspot. During the winter months there is a Winter Festival of Lights where everything is decorated for the holidays, including the Falls!

 

If relaxing is more your cup of tea, Niagara Falls is a fantastic place to people watch and take in the scenery. You can take a stroll in one of the nearby parks and grab a snack from one of the street vendors. The possibilities are endless in Niagara Falls!

Vicki said her favorite thing to do is watch the Falls fall and gush over the top.

Thank you, Vicki, for sharing this awesome WNY destination!
