Niagara Falls - 11 Things to Do! (USA Travel Guide)

There are so many things to do at Niagara Falls in New York, like taking a boat ride under the falls, night fireworks, or a trolley ride along the Niagara River. Let us be your travel guide as we explore the US side of the falls and show you these cool places. Just a note that while the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls are on the US side and Horseshoe Falls are on the Canadian side, you can still see all of them.

This video is part of our epic road trip to all 5 US Great Lakes (Ontario, Erie, Huron, Superior & Michigan) where we visited Niagara Falls in New York, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Pictured Rocks and Apostle Islands National Lakeshores, Mackinac Island, the Porcupine Mountains ("Porkies" as they say in da UP), the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Ohio, the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit, the Lakeshore bike trail in Chicago, Frankenmuth the year-round Christmas city - are you tired yet? Oh and we ate a lot of pasties and fudge. Like a lot of fudge. So much fudge that we actually take no offense to the Yoopers and Trolls calling us Fudgies. We've been called much worse. Stay tuned for a ton of videos showing our adventures like dune climbing, kayaking, hiking or biking, that we will continue to link below as they are released. The United States of America is a huge place and this is just one small portion of it.

I would add Whirlpool State Park to the list of "must see" places in Niagara Falls. They got rid of the highway that used to run along the gorge, and the entire U.S. side is a green trail and you can walk down to the edge of the river at Whirlpool State Park to see the rapids.

Canadian side and pay to go under the falls, so worth it. Its thunderously loud, and tunnels lead to within 5 feet of the water rushing in front of you. So powerful is the best way to describe it. Did this 40 years ago and is still a highlight !

Have been on the Canadian side a number of times, but never the US side...looks like I am going to have to change that. Always love it there. Take care and have a great week. Bruce and Otis

Wow, what a tour! This is really awesome. Great job showing us around. I'm starting to think the American side is better. We missed so much!

Been to Niagara Falls about 40 times in my life lol I only live 2 hours away I know most every view point by heart Terrapin Point is my Favorite spot out of all the views on both sides

Thanks for this detailed video, will finally be able to cover all these spots next weekend specially I am excited for the hurricane deck.

I am not kidding I was at Niagara yesterday too. But side note you should have included the whirlpool jet tours. I know they are not right at the falls but it is only a 10 minute drive and 45 minutes of chaos!

Im from Nicaragua I just watched all of your videos and I think they're very nice and interesting and one of the things I want to do one day is see this in person, you need to come here and visit our places, San Juan del Sur maybe

Brought back fond childhood memories of a family trip there in the early 70s. Thanks for sharing, great job as usual!

My wife and I went up twice per year until covid. Canadian and American sides. They didn't mention the jet boat rides on the rapids, yes it's expensive but you need to do it at least one time. We went in July and October. The only problem in October was some things were closed for the season. Looking forward to 2024.

[TravelwithSuri]

This is such an amazing list of things to do. Unfortunately we didn't visit all these places when we visited NF back in 2012. Maid of the mist was my favorite. The illuminations and the fireworks were spectacular. The Trolley ride seems fun to try..) Great Video.

[savannahfellows]

When I went in 2022 I wanted to do cave of the winds so bad but I had a broken arm with a cast and didn’t wanna risk it but did maid of the mist like 3 times.. 🤣😂I’m going again in about 2 weeks and hopefully able to do it.

For someone who likes to live vicariously through others youtube videos, I will finally have to get off the couch and experience this as well. lol damnit

[ssettev]

Someone said it best and it proved true. If you wanna SEE the Falls, go to the Canadian side. But if you wanna FEEL the Falls, go to the American side.

[lucyruiz]

Thanks for sharing this list. Great video too. By the way, what time does the light show and fireworks starts?
