EmMay 26, 2013A true Wonder of the World! Such magnificent view even seeing for the _nth time. Canadian side has the breathtaking view; American side is an up close experience. Falling in love over and over...
Upvoted Oct 19- Simmi Harsimrat ParmarMay 27, 2015It's a little crowded mostly but deserves at least one visit in a lifetime! Maid of the mist ride is a must to get the full view of the falls. I would come again to see the frozen falls in winter soon
John HankusMarch 9, 2015Beautiful state park. Walk the entire path for some nice scenery. Parking van be a bit difficult so either keep your car at the hotel or find Street parking somewhere to save a few bucks.
Richard RevillaOctober 8, 2015Great park to explore and you grt up close and personal to the falls. $10 for parking free is less than 20 min. The view is not quite as nice as the Canadian Side.
Sensei SmilesAugust 25, 2013Don't miss The Cave of the Winds. A self guided tour that takes you to the bottom of the falls. You get so close you can actually touch the falls! Totally awesome!!
TruthorDare.usMay 14, 2011We dare you to boat on one of the amazing lakes and rivers available and fishing for a nice catch, follow that with a nice tour around Niagara Falls State Park where there are tons things to see, fini
A must-visit for tourists and locals alike! Start with the touristy part - Goat Island, Luna Island and Three Sisters Island - then work your way up the trails toward the Whirlpool and Devil's Hole.
Thomas JannaroneSeptember 23, 2011The falls cannot be described. You must experience it. The best way to see the falls is by taking the boat tour. The boat tour is available on both the Canadian and the American sides of the falls.
Michael HoldsworthJune 27, 2015Wonderfully scenic park with excellent views of the Falls. Much more natural and relaxing than the Canadian side. Definitely worth a visit.
Ming KoslowskyAugust 19, 2013A lot nicer than expected! We went on Maid of the Mist ($15.50) Prepare to get really wet. And once you get off the boat, do keep the poncho if you want to walk up to have a closer look of the falls.
ElizabethJuly 20, 2015Welcome to New York. A great state park where you can walk by the river and the falls.
- Lears FoolJune 13, 2016This about seeing a lovely rushing river. Too see Niagara go to Canada. It is worth it.
AstoriawinedivaMarch 8, 2012Just breathtaking. majestic beauty & humbling power of water gives u a sense of awe & wander. scenery looking 2 Canada & foliage in fall spectacular! cant wait for spring & miles of hiking trails.
Sarah ESeptember 26, 2011One of the things you must do is the Niagara Falls. It's a drive but very beautiful to watch. One of the first places I went when I was a kid and near Canada.
Brandon F.May 9, 2015You'll be in awe here and is one of the places you should see before you wither away. The Canadian side had a better view of the falls, 'eh.
Michael MApril 11, 2012Weddings By The Falls -our day was special. You eased the stress. The picture's you took are wonderful and gorgeous. We really appreciate you talking the extra steps to ensure that all was perfect.
Alanoud AlrasheedSeptember 24, 2016one of the best place in New York State you must go there ❤️🇺🇸🇨🇦 and of course you have to take the boat
Kelly KrauseMay 31, 2011My favorite view is from the lookout by the Bridal Veil Falls on Goat Island. If you look over the edge it drops right off. Plus, get close up to the American Falls.

Cruise OffersSeptember 6, 2015Everything, most of all Maid of the mist and night lights on the fall.
Paul LuthiNovember 8, 2011The Canadian falls are way more impressive. Bring your passport and cross the border for a GREAT view. Niagara Falls, NY also has a nice casino
Brendan CJune 29, 2012Go on the Cave of the Winds! The Hurricane Deck is amazing! You'll be standing right under the Falls themselves.
- Alicia BriggsAugust 28, 2010Best photo-op is from rainbow bridge. Walk across to Canada, the view from the bridge let's you get all of the falls in one photo!
Jodi-Kay Lofters®April 27, 2012Lovely park, though the view from the Canadian side of the Falls is more beautiful
