This was my first trip to Niagara Falls (we ventured there on our way to NYC). I had always wanted to see the falls, but had never made it there. We were visiting in June and the weather was beautiful. Perfect temperature, sunny, and just a perfect day! The park is beautiful, it's enjoyable to just wander around exploring. There... More

We were at the falls probably 20 years ago, spent 5 minutes on the NY side and the whole next day in Canada (back when you only needed a drivers license). We made an impromptu trip to Buffalo and took a swing buy, just to give my 13 year old "a glimpse" since we didn't have passports with us. HOLY... More

I keep telling my husband that I do not understand these reviews that say the USA side of the Niagara falls is not pretty. We loved the USA side of the falls. Our family of 4 had a great time there! We very much enjoyed the facts all around about daredevils, important people, creation of the falls, legends and much... More

This side of the falls is a completely different experience than the Canadian side. There is plenty to do, including the same main attractions (e.g. Maid of the Mist) but there is a lot of green space and we were able to get very close to the water to really experience the power. Took the time to take a short... More

I loved the park soooo much!!! The scenery was amazing, and you get to stand over the edge and watch the millions of gallons of water rush beneath your feet. Stay for night though, you won't be disappointed!

We had been to the Canada side of the falls a couple of times before this trip. Due to a snag with a passport, we had a day to spend on the American side. We went to the state park and were awed with the beauty from this side. The young lady at the information booth helped us decide on... More

Loved visiting this beautiful park! Seeing where the Niagara River feeds into the falls was awesome. The park had nice walkways and plenty of benches to just sit and soak in the scenery. Anyone going to Niagara Falls can't afford to miss this!

The weather, the falls, the scenery. What is NOT to like! I could get my zero gravity chair and sit there all day long!

So you can't see the falls as well as on the canadian side but you "feel" them more and get a better of idea of the power. The park is great for walking, lots of green space and just beautiful to be so close.
