About
Quick facts: The water volume at Niagara Falls can reach up to 168,000 cubic meters per minute, which equals a million bathtubs filled every minute. The area attracts over 30 million visitors annually, led by the impressive three waterfalls that together form a spectacular natural force.
Highlights: The strength and sound of the rushing water can be felt all the way down at the foot's viewpoints, where you can almost sense the water's power against your skin. At night, the falls are lit up in colors, and special fireworks light up the sky above the dramatic waterfall approximately 130 meters high.
Insider tips
- Bring waterproof clothing or layers, as water mist can reach all the way to the viewpoints.
- Take photos from Table Rock on the Canadian side for the most iconic angle.
- Skip the expensive boat tour unless you really want to get close to the falls.
- Avoid weekend afternoon hours to escape the biggest crowds.
