=Niagara Falls is often considered one of the natural wonders of the world. It has definitely gained this title, as its three waterfalls (the American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and Horseshoe Falls) have the largest rate of water flow in the world. Pretty impressive. Are you still not convinced that you should visit this world-famous natural beauty? Well, let’s see if we can persuade you, with the following reasons for you to visit Niagara Falls below.

Great Connections 

A trip to Niagara Falls can be arranged from New York City - and it’s easy to do so as well. So, if you want to make your trip to NYC all the more special, check out the bus fare from New York to Niagara Falls and start planning an incredible trip. Whilst it’s not necessarily a short journey, it’s definitely worth it. You could even consider getting a flight to speed things up. Niagara is also right on the Canadian border, so if you’re wanting to visit Canada whilst you’re in the area, then this is something for you to consider.

Lots to Do

Niagara Falls and the surrounding areas aren’t solely about the waterfalls. There are loads of other things for you to tick off around the falls. There are plenty of bars, restaurants, shops, caves, tours, and all sorts of amusements for you to make the most of. On both sides of the falls (US and Canadian) there are many different activities for you to give a go, designed to keep tourists happy and entertained. 

Interesting History

Did you know that a 63 year old woman once went down Niagara Falls in a barrel? It’s true - in 1901, school teacher Annie Taylor strapped herself into a barrel and took the plunge. She survived and inspired a flurry of other adrenaline junkies to do the same after her, although not all of them had such a fortunate finish as she did. This is just a small slice of the history of Niagara - there is so much more to learn. You’ll have to book your tickets to find out what you can discover when you’re up close and personal with the falls. 

Incredible Views and Photo Opportunities

It goes without saying that the views of the waterfalls are incredible, no matter when you visit. You can go on a boat trip to get that bit closer, which is a fun, exhilarating experience. As well as this, if you’re a keen photographer, they don’t come much more photogenic than Niagara! Grab your camera and let the photo shoot begin. You can’t leave without a good photo. There are plenty of Instagram opportunities for you to “wow” your friends and family with stunning pictures of the waterfalls.

These are just some of the reasons for you to visit Niagara Falls. It’s something that you won’t regret and is often a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for most people. So, don’t miss the chance whilst you can!
