3 Epic Days in Niagara Falls
With so much to see and do, one day is never enough. Plan to stay 2-3 nights to enjoy the breathtaking view of the Falls, exciting attractions, nature, parks and hiking trails. Visit local wineries, breweries, distilleries, and eat and drink like a local. Learn about Niagara Falls’ history including Black History and the history of Niagara’s indigenous people. We cannot wait to see you back in Niagara Falls when it is safe to travel again!
Book a Fallsview room and enjoy the spectacular view of the Falls from the comfort of your bed, any time of the day. You’ll be able to walk to most attractions from your hotel or use the Wego bus to zip from one end of town to the other.
Day 1: Epic Views, Signature Experience
Niagara Helicopters
Take a thrilling ride with Niagara Helicopters where you will hover 457 metres above the Falls for the perfect aerial shot of the entire city on this must-do adventure, every season of the year.
Niagara City Cruises
Voyage into the mist to get up close and personal on this iconic boat ride! Get an epic view (and a little wet) as you sail toward the Falls, 51 metres below the brink.
Skylon Tower
Towering 236 meters above the mighty Falls. The only thing more exciting than the world-renowned view from the Skylon Tower's observation deck is the glass enclosed elevator ride you’ll take to get there. Enjoy lunch or dinner in the Revolving Dining Room and experience the Falls Illumination and Fireworks from above.
Zipline to the Falls
WildPlay Zipline to the Falls is a thrilling panoramic ride, 67 metres above the natural marvel. Are you brave enough to soar towards the Falls at speeds of up to 70 km/h for the most epic views?
Journey Behind the Falls
Descend 38 metres below the brink of the Falls to explore 130-year-old tunnels leading to an observation deck and viewing portal. Catch a glimpse of the natural wonder from a whole new perspective at Journey Behind the Falls.
Niagara SkyWheel
With climate-controlled gondolas perfect for any weather, the Niagara SkyWheel is a leisurely ride that provides a city-wide vista, 53 metres above the plunging Falls.
Table Rock Centre
Arguably one of the best views in the world, the base of Table Rock will bring you as close to the brink of the Falls as you can be – a mere 3 meters away.

For another epic view, see the whirlpool from high above with a ride on the historic Whirlpool Aero Car.
Sip and savour your way through locally-inspired farm-to-table restaurants, wineries, breweries and distilleries to experience the best that Niagara has to offer.
