3. Goat Island is the crown jewel of Niagara Falls State Park, offering a unique "inside-out" perspective of the falls. While most people see the water from a distance, Goat Island puts you directly between the American and Horseshoe Falls.

4. A tiny natural wonder wedged between the American and Bridal Veil Falls. It’s our favorite stop for a reason—the views are profound, the energy is electric, and the photo ops are unmatched. Stand at the edge of the world with us.

6. "As we make our way to Terrapin Point, prepare yourself for the main event. You are looking at the Horseshoe Falls—the largest and most powerful of the three waterfalls that make up Niagara. If you look closely into the mist, you'll almost always see a rainbow on a sunny afternoon. "Notice the mist? That’s not rain—that’s the 'Breath of the Niagara,' and on a windy day, it’ll give you a free souvenir soak!"

   10 minAdmission included

About Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls, New York, is the American side of the great waterfalls on the Niagara River, with a state park, an observation tower and gorge walks.

Niagara Falls, New York, sits on the American bank of the Niagara River, which pours over three waterfalls on its way from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. Niagara Falls State Park, the oldest state park in the United States, was laid out by the landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted and holds viewpoints right at the brink of the American Falls and the smaller Bridal Veil Falls. An observation tower looks over the whole scene, including the horseshoe-shaped falls, most of which lie across the border in Canada.
