What is that thundering sound? You're hearing millions of gallons of water spilling over 170foot cliffs every little seconds. This city is named for its biggest star- Niagara Falls. You have probably seen it in pictures, and even a few movies. Up close and in person, the control and grandeur of the roaring waters still get you by surprise. Feel the intensity as you stand amid clouds of increasing mist and rainbow-painted spray on the Maid of the Mist boat tour or Cave of the Winds walk. You can get in a bird's-eye vision from the Observation Tower. Any seat in the house offers a wonderful scene at the Top of Falls restaurant.
