About Niagara Falls
Discover Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls is one of the world's most awe-inspiring natural wonders — three massive waterfalls straddling the US-Canada border that collectively form the highest flow rate of any waterfall in North America. The thundering Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls draw millions of visitors annually. Experience the falls from every angle — boat tours, observation decks, tunnels behind the falls, and spectacular illuminations at night.
