Example
VISITING NIAGARA FALLS
Niagara Falls is the collective name for three
waterfalls that cross the international border between
the Canadian province of Ontario and the USA’s state of
New York. They form the southern end of the Niagara
Gorge. From largest to smallest, the three waterfalls are
the Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls and the Bridal
Veil Falls. The Horseshoe Falls lie on the Canadian side
and the American Falls on the American side. They are
separated by Goat Island. The smaller Bridal Veil Falls
are also located on the American side, separated from
the other waterfalls by Luna Island. There are various
attractions that people can enjoy in Niagara Falls, six of
them are described here.
The first to enjoy in Niagara Falls is Cave of the
Winds. This attraction helps people get closer to the falls
and go face-to-face with the pounding waters of the
Falls. People can get soaked on the Hurricane Deck
where they are just feet from the thundering waters.
Waterproof clothing and sandals are provided. A trip at
night when the Falls are illuminated in a rainbow of color
is really amazing.
The second charm is Maid of the Mist Boat Tour. It
is a world-famous scenic boat tour of the American and
Canadian Falls for about a half-hour ride. People may
access the tour via the Observation Tower elevator at
Prospect Point in the state park. The boat operates mid-
May until late October.
