Home to one of the world’s most famous waterfalls, Niagara Falls State Park is situated where Lake Erie flows into Lake Ontario. It encompasses the American Falls, the Bridal Veil Falls and part of the Horseshoe Falls, which straddles the United States-Canada border along the Niagara River.

Begin your visit at the Discovery Center to learn about the natural and human history of the state park, then soak up unobstructed views of the falls from the Niagara Falls Observation Tower. You can get up close to the base of Horseshoe Falls on the “Maid of the Mist” boat tour or experience the cascade’s power from the “Cave of the Winds” Hurricane Deck.

Stroll along the Great Gorge Scenic Overlook Hike or embark on a more challenging trek to the Devil's Hole Rapids. Enjoy lunch or dinner accompanied by panoramic views of Niagara Falls at the Top of the Falls Restaurant.

Getting there

The Discovery Center at Niagara Falls is around 35 minutes’ drive from Buffalo Niagara International Airport, with plenty of parking available on site. The Niagara Shuttle connects attractions throughout the park with its hop-on-hop-off service.
