Niagara Falls State Park overlooks the plunging water of Niagara Falls. With 160 hectares of beautifully preserved nature and a thrilling array of activities on offer, the state park is a wonderful way for families to experience the magic of Niagara Falls.
Get closer to the gorge than you ever imagined aboard the Maid of the Mist, an iconic boat ride to the foot of the American and Horseshoe Falls. Hear the deafening roar of 600,000 gallons of water plunging over the gorge as you learn about this amazing natural wonder.
Don’t miss the Cave of the Winds walkway, which brings you face-to-face with the crashing water of Bridal Veil Falls. Spend the afternoon soaking up stunning views from the park’s 24 kilometers of trails, then stick around to watch the seasonal fireworks from Prospect Point Observation Tower or Rainbow Bridge.
