Our family loved the American side--the Canadian side NOT SO MUCH! The US side is more like a state park. The trolley is the best way to see it all. I think it was $2 each and you could ride it all day. There were lots of places you could get off and explore and another trolley would be along... more

We visited the Canadian side for the first day and then went to the American side the second day and loved it more than the Canada side. For views from the ground it is less commercial and more natuaral. Your only chance to go down and be in the water fall but not the horseshoe fall is on the American... more

OK, the US side of Niagara Falls is not as fun, or as pretty as the Canadian side but it is still pretty amazing. Although the Falls are great to see all year round, I would recommend you go between May - October when most of the attractions are open. A definite must is the "Maids of the Mist" -... more

I was in Niagra Falls this past weekend for my first time. Unfortuantely it rained but the attraction, the falls and activities you are able to inquire are spectacular. I highly reccommend all to do Tha Maid of the Mist and The Cave of the Winds. Both attractions allow you to be within feet of the falls! more

We can see the Niagara Falls from the USA, and from Canada. It' s always much people near the Falls. I like better the Canadian side. There are more buildings, and more place, and (of course) more people, that's why more hapiness. From the Canadian side we can see the both Falls. Here are boat-tours, they take you under the... more

Firstly, enter the park on First Street which is off of Rainbow Blvd. Other scammers will try to direct you to their private parking lots on Rainbow Blvd., but follow the signs to "Niagara Falls State Park." Enter the island, by-pass the parking lot, and drive SLOWLY around the island, watching for stop signs, pedestrians etc. to get an overview... more

We had fun at all the major atractions of the park, but the employees just seemed to be putting their time in. I realize it might get mundane, but a little friendliness goes a long way!!! Also, We thought parking fees should be able to be validated. $10.00 was a bit extreme, we thought. Especially if you wanted to make... more

As a Canadian who's visited the Canadian side of Niagara Falls multiple times, our family ventured over to Niagara State Park in July 2008. We were pleasantly surprised at the differences between the two areas. The American side is much quieter than the Canadian side, seemly less "touristy" and more 'park-like". No Clifton Hill here to take away from the... more
