For centuries the inspiration of artists, Niagara Falls leaves most visitors on New York State holidays truly impressed. Those who get up close and personal with this natural wonder can watch a fifth of the world’s fresh water cascade majestically below while enjoying phenomenal views that are only possible when you get that near.
For those who prefer a dryer experience of the falls, the observation deck on the New York side offers spectacular panoramic views of the falls without the soaking mist. The amusement parks, souvenir shops, wax museums, hotels and malls surrounding the falls attest to its status as a major tourism destination. But even the largest horde of jostling tourists could never diminish the astounding and unending beauty of Niagara Falls.
