No need to print, just take a photo with your phone, no need for a passport, very convenient. It was also very shocking, and the time was not long. At the same time, I recommend the wind tunnel attraction, buy tickets on site, and watch the video introducing the history. Feel the power of the waterfall under the waterfall
The scenery is beautiful and fun. It is recommended to wear slippers and windproof and waterproof clothes, or quick-drying clothes, because the disposable red raincoats distributed for free cannot block the wind... Also, when buying tickets online, you should pay attention to where you boarded the ship from (the United States 🇺🇸 & Canada 🇨🇦). I didn't pay attention and boarded the ship from Canada but bought a cruise ticket for the United States. As a result, I had to cancel it and buy it again on the spot.

5.1 I went to Niagara Falls that day. I was lucky to catch up with the Maiden Cruise in the fog. I went to experience the feeling of pouring the rain from head to toe under the waterfall for $30. The attraction will send raincoats, remember to bring your shoes or it will be all wet. But it is best to see the waterfalls across Canada by boat. Niagara Falls has several observation decks. If you have a long time, you can go and see it. In addition, there is a wind tunnel scenic spot where you can see the bridal veil waterfall. The American Falls can also be seen on the observation deck without charge, but the best angle is also to enjoy the Maiden Cruise in the fog
Located on the US-Canada border, the water flowed rapidly, flowed straight, and it was not frozen in winter. There is a hydropower plant on the Canadian side, built in 1904, closed in 2009, and now a museum visit. The elevator can go down to the 180-foot tunnel under the mountain, and see the waterfalls that are lit at night from close up. The tunnel was built in 1904-1906 and has a history of more than 100 years.

At Skylon Tower in Niagara Falls, you're in for a treat with its jaw-dropping views and a dining experience that's truly one-of-a-kind. However, be prepared to shell out a bit more cash for the privilege. The atmosphere exudes sophistication and charm, making it an ideal spot for a romantic date night or a special celebration. While kids are welcome, it's not exactly geared towards them – think quiet elegance rather than boisterous fun. All in all, if you're looking to impress with unparalleled scenery and upscale dining, Skylon Tower delivers, but families with energetic little ones might want to opt for a more laid-back venue.
The Skylon Tower offers an incredible experience, boasting breathtaking panoramic views and a stunning interior. From its observation decks, visitors are treated to awe-inspiring vistas of Niagara Falls and its surroundings, making it a must-visit spot for tourists. The tower's modern and stylish interior design adds to the overall wow factor, providing a chic setting for visitors to enjoy while taking in the magnificent sights. Whether you're dining at the revolving restaurant or simply exploring the observation deck, every moment at the Skylon Tower feels truly magical. With its combination of stunning views and captivating interior ambiance, the Skylon Tower stands out as a highlight of any visit to Niagara Falls.

When visiting Niagara Falls, you must take a cruise to get a close look at the falls. We bought a package ticket for about 100 yuan, and it seemed that taking a boat alone only cost a few dozen yuan. The waiting time in line was not long, and each boat could accommodate many people. Raincoats must be worn, but you will still get wet when you get close to the falls. The whole journey took about half an hour.
Print the order, scan it at the door or have the staff take a look. The whole process was smooth, the waterfall was amazing! There were also many birds flying. The Canadian side was better than the American side, and the viewing angle was wider and broader! In addition, the raincoat was not enough to block the water mist, and it was easy to get wet. Bring your own tissues and be careful not to get your trouser legs wet! The boat is slippery, be careful not to fall!

This waterfall is so beautiful that I was fascinated by it. It is my favorite place to go. You will be shocked when you see this waterfall and how it connects with the world. Although this time was different from the first time, there were many tourists who rushed to take pictures with Niagara Falls as the background, but I was not disturbed.
Niagara's Horseshoe Falls, also known as the Canadian Falls, is the largest of the three waterfalls that together form Niagara Falls along the Niagara River along the Canadian and US border. The Niagara River flows through the Horseshoe Falls at about 90 ％. The remaining 10 ％ flows through the American Falls and the Bridal Veil Falls.

Rainbow Bridge is also a bridge connecting New York, USA and the Canadian border. There are many tourists here to enjoy the beautiful scenery. If you come, you can learn about some of the history here.

what an amazing experience🥰🥰🥰 the best time to be at niagara is around 5pm where the lights in the area are all ready ! its like you are walking in Las Vegas when you are heading to Niagara Falls
The Niagara Ferris Wheel is located near the Niagara Falls. It is a 53-meter-high Ferris wheel. You can completely overlook the entire waterfall when you sit on it. It is very spectacular. If you go to see the waterfall, you must also sit on this Ferris wheel to experience it.

If you go to Canada, you can take this mountain and waterfall as a one-day attraction. This mountain is particularly beautiful to appreciate, and you can also take a small train to enjoy the scenery of this mountain. This is not far from the Rainbow Bridge, and there are not many people. If you want to visit, you can come and visit
This street is awesome for anyone to visit! I really love the buses that pass through the street and take you everywhere. So many food and cocktail restaurants, souvenir shops, and places to play.

The Upside-Down House is a well-known attraction in my local area. It has been built here for many years. If you go there, you can understand the original intention of the designer when designing it. It was summer vacation when I went there, and I had to queue up to visit.
This place is not very big. I have visited similar places in Thailand and Singapore before. The children had a lot of fun here and took a lot of interesting photos. The overall feeling is OK.
