Few months ago, we had a chance to visit Niagara Falls in USA. It was one of the most wonderful experience we had. It is said Niagara Falls is 12000 years old.
We had joined a conducted group tour. Therefore everything was prearranged for us. We stayed in the hotel Sheraton by Falls, that was a walking distance from the falls. We reached there in the evening and we were immediately taken to see the spectacular view at night.
On one side of the falls is Canada on the other side is America.
There were fireworks at the fall, on the side of Canada, to greet us.:)
Next morning, we were again taken to Niagara Falls State Park. First of all we went to IMax theater at visitors center. There was saw a very interesting documentary on Niagara Falls, giving facts and history about the falls. It showed how it was always man's dream to walk a tightrope across the falls or to plunge with the Niagara Falls and come out alive.
Then our group boarded Niagara Trolley and we were taken to'Maid of the Mist'. This involved a boat trip to the point, right near the falls and we felt the Niagara Falls water sprinkled on us.
After the boat trip, we went to'Cave of the Winds'. Here was saw mighty power of water fall from a very close distance. We had to hold the railings around, for not falling off and keeping us steady.
Our next stop was at'Aquarium of Niagara'. Here we saw so many species of colorful aquatic animals and coral reefs. We even saw performances by sea lions in the pond.
Last stop was at'Niagara Discovery Center'. Here again we saw a documentary, that I didn't find so interesting.
The entire area is very well connected by Niagara Falls Scenic Trolley. It runs up and down in the entire area, having 6 stops in between. One is free to get on and off, as per one's wishes. It is all included in the Niagara Discovery Pass.
Its a beautiful natural scenic place, full of greenery and the sound of mighty waterfall everywhere you go.
If given a chance, we will like to visit Niagara Falls again!
