Pretty awesome watching 750,000 gallons of water per second tumble over the rocks to the river bed below. Although they are not the tallest Waterfalls or the longest waterfalls in the world they are definitely very majestic. The Falls are located in New York States largest state park. We bought the Discover Niagara Pass that got us into 5 different activities at the falls.
First Stop was The Niagara Adventure Theater. A short 20 minute film on the Indian history of the falls up to the daredevils which have gone over the falls and one incident that was not a stunt. A couple of kids went on there first boat ride with there Uncle in a small 14 foot boat and the motor stalled. Hit a rock and the boat capsized. The little girl was caught just feet from going over the falls. The little boy was not as fortunate or was he? He was found alive with only a few scratches at the bottom of the falls. First person to make it over the falls unassisted without any equipment.
We then went to Maid of the Mist Boat ride into the mist within just a few feet of the falling water. Very hot humid day so the mist felt really good. Even with the souvenir ponchos we still got drenched.
Next was a trolley ride over to Goat island and Terrapin Point to take in a closer look at Horseshoe falls.
Back on to the trolley and we went over to the Niagara Falls aquarium to check out the local fish species and fish from other parts of the world as well.
Most romantic place? Only if you like have thousands of people around you. LOL
Enjoy the pictures to the right.
