We are in Niagara Falls! I can't believe we are actually here! I have wanted to see the Falls for a long time. It is amazing how you can hear them far before you can actually see them! I am SO happy that we decided to see the Canadian side versus the American side because you get such a better view! We can actually see both the Canadian side & the American side, but it looks like from the American side you only get to see the smaller American Falls and you are looking over them, not at them.
Our hotel is so perfect! It is right in front of the Falls and you can get a great view from the 15th floor. Right outside the hotel is the incline that takes you directly to the Falls. We headed straight for the Falls taking a million pictures from every which angle
01. Niagara Falls
! You can actually feel the power of the water just by looking at it!We saw the Maid of the Mist boat at the base of the Falls, but decided that we would rather walk behind the Falls than see it from the bottom. The 'Journey Behind The Falls' is definitely worth it! You get to walk out right next to the Falls about half way down from the top. You also get to wander around behind the Falls and walk out to various port holes that are directly behind the raging water...Amazing!
We decided to stroll around Ontario for a bit and take in some of the local culture. After having a delicious dinner at a cute bistro we headed towards the Skylon Tower to get ready to see the Niagara Falls light show. The Skylon Tower gives you a view of the Falls from 520 ft. in the air and you ride up it on the outside in a glass elevator!
We have had an amazing time in Ontario! Niagara Falls was everything we were hoping it would be and more! We are now headed to Cedar Point in Ohio to scream our heads off!
