This was our absolute favorite thing we did at the falls, on both the American and Canadian side! It was so much fun climbing around the American falls and actually getting to experience the force of the falls on the hurricane deck. You can do this activity without getting wet, but why not experience the full force? We did this... more

You get really close to the falls--basically in them really. It's a lot better than the boat ride you can take, especially on a hot day b/c you can get soaked if you want to. Might want to have a spare set of clothes with you b/c depending on how much you get yourself wet, those plastic jackets don't work... more

Definately the best thing we did in Niagara Falls!! It's such an amazing expierence to get so close to the falls and even be able to reach out and touch them. A bit of advise...if you want to take pictures be sure to bring a waterproof camera. You can take some pics and not get wet, but when you get... more

This was wild. First it was located in the Niagara Falls State Park which was beautiful, take a picnic plan to spend some time here. They built a "boardwalk/deck" right under a portion of the Falls (American/Bridal Veil) and you walk on it with the water pounding down next to you, and at the top the water is actually pounding... more

We crossed over from the Canadian side of the falls on our way back to the airport for a late afternoon flight. Arrived at 1230, left at 130, no lines. This was the perfect way to part from the area. The weather was ideal, blue sky and 75 degrees (F). The border crossing took all of 30 seconds (passports quickly... more

My family and I spent 3 days around Niagara Falls. We did most of the attractions. By far, this was my favorite! We were totally submerged into the falls. Even though the walk only takes a few minutes, we stayed there for an hour. We had so much fun playing in the falls. I was very glad for the ponchos.... more

By far the no.1 attraction for us in Niagara Falls. We were staying on the Canadian side but walked across the Rainbow bridge. It's just amazing being on the hurricane deck and the water splashing all over you! You won't get any closer to the falls! Do it, you will love it! more

We checked out of our hotel on the Canadian side about 9:30 am on a Monday, waited about 20 minutes for customs, got tickets for the Cave about 10:30. They give you nice sandals and a bag to put your shoes in. We decided to take our shoes back to the car so we did not have to carry them... more

This was a very cool experience. At some points through this walk, you could reach up and touch the falls. I really enjoyed this experience as it gives one a real concept of the magnitude of Bridal Falls. Although it is only a 20 minute walk through the various platforms, it provides you with various opportunities to view the falls... more

Cave of the Winds is an incredible attraction, glad we did it and can't wait to go back next year and do it again. We were just there 8/09, it was hot and it was a perfect place to be. You get these goofy sandals and poncho to wear. You start out by going down a long path and then... more
