BUFFALO HERITAGE CAROUSEL

Whether youre standing at the observation decks, taking a boat ride on the Maid of the Mist, or even ziplining above the falls, the views are incredible from every angle. The falls themselves are a stunning sight, but theres something truly special about being so close to the water as it crashes below.

For thrill-seekers, there’s plenty to do beyond just sightseeing. You can take a boat ride to get up close to the falls, enjoy helicopter tours for a birds-eye view, or even hike the surrounding trails. There’s also the chance to experience an adrenaline rush with activities like zip-lining or exploring the nearby caves.
