Top Things do in Niagara Falls with Kids
"Composed of two falls that can range from a solid fall to a trickle, the Devil’s Punchbowl is a colourful example of geology. Dating back millions of years, the Punchbowl is a semi-circle of layered, colourful rock that surrounds the falls. A 10-metre high steel cross also punctuates the nature landscape, having been constructed in 1966 to, “bring light to the town.” Paid parking is found just a short walk from the viewing platform where visitors can also find great views of Hamilton Harbour and Stoney Creek."
"Besides its astounding natural beauty, the highlight of the Devil’s Punchbowl falls is the 450 million years of history it preserves in its geological formation. Different layers and colors of rocks reveal the evolution of earth through these years. This 37 meter waterfall at the Niagara Escarpment is well known for its unparalleled grandiose and beauty."
"East of Hamilton is the Devil’s Punchbowl Conservation Area with an upper and lower fall. Known for its unique rock formations and plunging depths, you do not want to miss this waterfall. A bonus at the observation deck is seeing the Toronto skyline."
"You'll be naturally drawn to the boardwalk that winds its way along the Niagara Gorge and there's no mistaking which way to walk to see the brink of the famous Horseshoe Falls as you will hear, smell and feel the water spray. Once you've taken in the spectacle of the Falls and the Niagara Gorge and gotten some photographs from up high, make your way over to Hornblower Tours (formerly Maid of the Mist), a ferry ride that takes passengers into the mist and furor of the Falls themselves. Don't ' worry; rain ponchos are provided. Note that Hornblower Tours are open May to October."
"Niagara Falls forms a natural rift between Ontario and New York State. On the US side, Bridal Veil Falls crash onto mammoth fallen rocks. On the Canadian side, the grander, more powerful Horseshoe Falls plunge into the cloudy Maid of the Mist Pool. The prime falls-watching spot is Table Rock, poised just meters from the drop – arrive early to beat the crowds."
"Located on the Canadian Side of Niagara Falls lies one of the great natural wonders of the world. For hundreds of years, Niagara Falls has attracted visitors from both sides of the border and around the world."
"If you want to enjoy a day of snow tubing, ice skating or sledding, head to the Snow Park Niagara Falls to play on man-made snow hills and synthetic ice surface. In addition to the Snowzone Play Area, the park offers snowboarding, skiing trails and a miniature golf course. As of February 2010, tickets for visitors 13 years and up were $20 and tickets for visitors between 5 and 12 years of age were $18."
"The Niagara Falls State Park in Niagara Falls, NY is the oldest state park in the USA. It contains the mighty American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls with views of Niagara Falls Canada. There are plenty of hiking trails located along the Niagara River to take in the views of Niagara Falls and the Niagara Gorge."
"While Devil’s Hole is home to strong natural features, there’s an overwhelming sense of peace and tranquillity around the Dufferin Islands. If you’d like to capture those moments of meditation around this small cluster of islands that make up an Ontario oasis, here’s your chance."
"Though the waterfalls themselves (Niagara Falls actually comprises three waterfalls, the American, the Canadian and the more meagre Bridal Veil falls) are the big draw, there's a whole lot else going on in the Niagara Region, so you'll want to devote a full day: 8 hours minimum, considering the drive each way is 90 minutes. If you have your own car, follow our directions for getting from Toronto to Niagara Falls. If you are a wine enthusiast or just to take in some striking scenery, allow time to visit the Niagara Wine Region just off the highway on your way to Niagara Falls. The wine route is well mapped out and plenty of signs will show you where to exit to visit any one of the more than 100 wineries."
"Bridal Veil Falls is the smallest of the three waterfalls in the park. In fact, you could be forgiven for thinking it’s actually part of American Falls because there is only a very small island, Luna Island, separating this waterfall from its neighbor. Bridal Veil Falls is about 55 feet wide, which would make it a major waterfall almost anywhere else in New York, but it’s nearly an afterthought here."
"The smallest of the three waterfalls that comprise world-famous Niagara Falls, Bridal Veil Falls is anything but small. Located on the US side of the falls, the 56-foot-wide (17-meter-wide) waterfall thunders over a 78-foot (24-meter) drop. Its frothy white cascade is reminiscent of a bride’s veil, hence the falls’ name.More"
"Buffalo isn’t known for being a wine city, but, thanks to the recent opening of The Little Club, this reputation is about to change. The Little Club is a game-changer of a bar with its commitment to bringing exciting, obscure wines to the public. Beyond its eclectic wine selection, the bar has a happening vibe that made us happy from the moment we situated ourselves on bar stools."
"I had been to The Little Club awhile ago and had such a great time that I decided to plan a little girls' night there last weekend!. My sister's wedding got…”more"
"Our goal is to help you discover something you love to drink in the company of people who make you happy."
"Once described as the most spectacular thing to happen to the Nile along its 6700km length, the 50m wide Victoria Nile is squeezed here through a 6m gap in the rock and crashes through this narrow gorge with unbelievable power. The 45m waterfall was featured in the Katharine Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart film The African Queen. Murchison was even stronger back then, but in 1962 massive floods cut a second channel creating the smaller Uhuru Falls 200m to the north."
"The park includes an observation tower that extends over the gorge to give you a view of the American Falls and the Horseshoe Falls. Although it is one of the best views from the American side you will not be very close to the Horseshoe Falls and better views are available from the Canadian side. Looking in the other direction away from the falls you will have a view of Rainbow Bridge."
"Head over to the observation deck at the Niagara Falls State Park for some unforgettable views!. Accessible only by elevator, the observation deck extends over the Niagara Gorge for an unobstructed look at Niagara Falls and the raging whitewater below. The deck also provides access to the base of the gorge and serves as the boarding site for the Maid of the Mist boat tours."
"Sights You’ll Get in Your Photo: American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls and Horseshoe Falls. If you have a taste for adrenaline and you’re wondering where to see Niagara Falls, this might just be the best place for you. The views from the Observation Tower at Niagara Falls State Park are worth the dizzying heights."
