Best Viewpoints for Niagara Falls

Journey Behind the Falls, Ontario – Up-close & Personal View

Journey Behind the Falls is a year-round attraction in the Canadian side that allows visitors to get up-close and personal with the thundering falls from below and behind. You’ll descend 125 feet down via elevator, where 130-year-old tunnels give direct access to observation decks and portals at the foot of Horseshoe Falls. Note, though, that you’re bound to get drenched but you’ll receive a free souvenir biodegradable rain poncho for protection in spring and summer months.

Maid of the Mist, New York & Hornblower, Ontario – On a Boat Tour

Want to experience Niagara Falls on a sightseeing boat tour? There’s a choice for you whether you’re coming from the USA side or the Canada side. Maid of the Mist sets sail from New York whilst the Hornblower embarks from Ontario — both take the same route from either side and transport passengers upstream on the Niagara River to marvel at the Horseshoe, American and Bridal Veil Falls. Maid of Mist has been operating since 1846, whilst Hornblower is relatively new and has kick-started its boat tours in 2014.

Cave of the Winds, New York — From a Cave

Be in awe of the Bridal Veil Falls at Cave of the Winds, a viewpoint within the Niagara Falls State Park. An elevator will take you 175 feet straight down into the Niagara Gorge, where you’ll be welcomed by a series of wooden walkways leading to the infamous “Hurricane Deck” where you’ll stand at a railing just a few steps away from the colossal Bridal Veil Falls and be surrounded by the billowing torrents. The cascading waters loom above you, soaking you with a generous shower as you face the falls — it’s truly a thrilling experience!

Skylon Tower, Ontario — Bird’s Eye View

If you want to admire Niagara Falls from a distance, head to the top of Canada’s Skylon Tower. This iconic space-needle-shaped skyscraper soars 775 feet above the water and offers uninterrupted aerial views of the natural spectacle without having to ride the helicopter or plane. And the best part? You can also indulge in a fine dining experience in the revolving dining room, where you’ll be granted an ever-changing 360-degree panorama. There are also indoor and outdoor observation platforms to enjoy the breathtaking views in all its glory!

Rainbow Bridge — On Foot or Wheels

The Rainbow Bridge is the gateway between the cities of Niagara Falls in New York State and Ontario, Canada for all pedestrians, motorists and cyclists. Traversing the scenic bridge, you can marvel at the staggering Niagara Falls in the background and possibly even spot a beautiful rainbow in the mist! It provides a one-of-a-kind opportunity to appreciate the beauty of the waterfalls at a leisurely pace and travel from one country to another on foot on wheels. Don't forget to prepare all the necessary travel documents and passport to enter the boundary.
