5 days in Niagara Falls Itinerary

The city of Niagara Falls houses the U.S. half of the famous waterfall that straddles the border between Canada and the United States.

Visiting Cave of the Winds and Niagara Falls will get you outdoors. Get out of town with these interesting Niagara Falls side-trips: Hidden Valley Animal Adventure (in Varysburg), Tifft Nature Preserve (in Buffalo) and Letchworth State Park (in Castile). There's lots more to do: try to win big at Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino, immerse yourself in nature at Whirlpool State Park, stroll through Penn Dixie Fossil Park & Nature Reserve, and take in panoramic vistas at Niagara Falls Observation Tower.
