This State Park has great viewing areas that are close enough to appreciate the power and beauty of Niagara Falls. There are ample opportunities to get close up with the additional tours.

It's a very beautiful park. The trolley is nice to get around if someone has a hard time walking it's only $2.00 and you can ride all day. The downside is you have to pay $10.00 to park in the parking lot.

You only need a day to spend at Niagara Falls State Park. We went to the Visitor Center where there is a gift shop, a cafe and a theater and is the entry point to get to the Maid of the Midst, trolley tour, Cave of the Winds, and some other points of interest. We took the trolley around the... More

Everyone says the views from the Canadian side of the falls are the best -- it's true, for pictures you can't beat the sight of two falls at once. But Niagara Falls State Park is perhaps one of the best state parks I have ever been to. If it weren't a state park, it would be a national park. What... More

We took a guided tour which included many parts of Niagara Falls State Park. Of course, words and photos simply cannot capture the awesome power of the falls themselves. But, the entire park is neat and clean and has been kept intact as a wonderful complement to the falls.

This park is located on the American side and is of the most gorgeous parks I have ever been to! You can get up close and personal to the American Falls and the American rapids. You also get spectacular views of Canada and the Horseshoe Falls. There is so much to see and there is a restaurant, gift shops, and... More

Best part of Niagara Falls is the park facing the falls on the Canadian side. We stayed at the Doubletree Inn (Hilton) which had a falls view and moderately priced but I was disappointed in the old areas near US side. We did the Maid of the Mist which is OK to do once but you could see as much... More

The trolley buses that ply in the State Park are a boon to go all over the place.They also have a commentary playing along.The bright and sunny day,along with the blooming trees and the tulip beds were a feast to the eyes.

The park is clean and well maintained. We visited on a cloudy, chilly day, and there weren't too many crowds. Also a few areas were closed (pedestrian bridge to Goat Island and the paths to the three sisters islands), so the trolley was free. Without a doubt, it's the best activity on the American side of the falls. There are... More

The falls are a sight to behold. I would recommend this to anyone at least once. If you arrive before parking starts charging, you can park for free and the place won't be as crowded. Saved me $8. It's amazing when you see the power of the water. I am told the view is best from the Canadian side but... More
