For those who would rather make the trip in their own car Niagara Falls is just a quick trip from anywhere in the Buffalo area, and visitors can simple drive across the famous Peace Bridge to move from the American to the Canadian side of the falls.

Once across the border visitors will have a wealth of things to see and do in this famous vacation destination. While there are plenty of museums and other attractions, the falls themselves are the star of the show, and those spectacular waters are what visitors are coming to see. There are a number of special cant miss attractions that revolve around the famous Niagara Falls. Some of them are educational, some are quirky and some are just plain fun.

One of the most famous attractions is the one of a kind Maid of the Mist boat ride. This unique boat ride takes visitors into the heart of the action with a breathtaking trip under the falling water, an experience they will not soon forget. As they enter the boat each visitor is given a protective poncho, and those ponchos are an absolute must. Maid of the Mist visitors will definitely get drenched during their ride, so it is a good idea to schedule the trip for a hot day. Another must is the behind the scenes tour of the falls. This unique tour offers visitors a real glimpse of the true power of those rushing waters, including the tremendous energy the falls release and how that energy is harnessed by the surrounding areas.

During the tour visitors will be able to walk right behind the falls themselves, catching a unique glimpse of this natural wonder. There are also plenty of unique photo opportunities along the way, and a number of scenic overlooks that offer spectacular views of Niagara Falls. Although for most it will be strictly a summertime attraction, there are some big benefits to visiting the falls during the winter time. One obvious benefit is shorter lines, since all the fair weather tourists will have fled for warmer climes. The prices for lodging are also quite a bit lower during the off season, and finding a hotel room should not be a problem.

In addition the falls themselves take on a unique sparkle and sheen during the winter season, as droplets of ice often form on the fast moving water above the falls. The city of Niagara Falls is particularly beautiful during the holiday season, so if you dont mind the cold you may want to come to the falls for a unique holiday experience.
