Being a famous honeymooning spot and the 7th natural wonder of the world, it's no wonder that Niagara Falls tourism is still growing strong, year by year. Though it is most often trafficked by honeymooners and retirees, Niagara Falls is also a fantastic place for families and adventures to explore.

But what is the best way to see the falls? You may want to try seeing the falls from a boat, like the Maid of the Mist which takes you right through the waters around all of the main attractions. This is a wet but enjoyable way to get" up-close and personal" with the falls.

Another option of seeing Niagara Falls is through the elevator at Table Rock House. The elevator will drop you 151 feet through the rocks to an area where you’ll be able to view the falls from behind. If' you prefer not to get wet, you may want to try seeing the falls from the Skyline Tower Observation Deck No matter which way you choose to see the falls during the daytime, don't miss the chance to take a look at the falls at night In the evening, twenty-two spotlights illuminate the falls with a rainbow of colors. This light show takes place at different times all year round, so make sure you check the schedule before you go.

Niagara Falls vacations don't have to always revolve around seeing the falls. There are so many other interesting places along the Niagara Parkway and within the town of Niagara Falls Canada that you might decide to stay an extra week to see them all.

For a full view and adventure to remember, take the Whirlpool Aero Car across the Niagara Whirlpool. In this cable car, you can overlook a beautiful landscape and have a whole concept.
