Niagara Falls Canada

Niagara Falls Canada is one of the great natural wonders of the world. For first-time visitors to Canada, it's usually the #1 "to-do" on their list.

Niagara Falls Canada - Horseshoe Falls Although I grew up within spitting distance of it, I have never become jaded by this truly awesome and hypnotic sight. Everyone has his or her favourite way to view the falls, from behind the curtain of water in the Journey Behind the Falls, to getting up-close-and-personal in the Maid of the Mist ship. If you're not afraid of heights, try the Whirlpool Aerocar or the Niagara SkyWheel, with its climate-controlled gondolas. For the adventurous there's the Whirlpool Jet Tour. Millions choose simply to stand and stare in awe from the grounds of the Table Rock Lookout. Another great (and free) spot is from the Rainbow Bridge, which is where I took the photograph above.

If you’d like to see what the birds see, Niagara Helicopters will fly you right over the chasm. Another view from up high is via the Skylon Tower from its restaurant or viewing platform.

Or if you'd prefer a virtual-reality experience to the real thing, check out the IMAX Theatre , where you’ll swear you’re going over the falls in a barrel, just like the daredevils in days of old. Note: the IMAX shows other films as well, not just the Niagara one.)

One of the newest Niagara Falls attractions is Niagara's Fury. This is a 4-D multi-sensory show that takes you back to the creation of the Falls.

If you've seen the Falls during the day, come back at night for the Illumination of the Falls and see them lit up in rainbow-coloured lights. It's an unforgettable sight.
