Adventure and Excitement at Niagara Falls USA
Depending on the time of year you visit, certain attractions at Niagara Falls may only be open seasonally. However, there is always something fun and exciting to do! For one exciting example, take a tour of the Cave of the Winds at the Niagara Falls State Park and or experience a Whirlpool Jet Tour of the Niagara River.
Want to get airborne? If you’re brave enough, you can enjoy a skyline ride on a tethered helium balloon floating 400 feet over the falls. If you’d like, you can also take a helicopter tour for another aerial view of the falls.
When evening arrives, you might want to do something a bit more low key. If you are comfortable with gambling, you might try your luck at the tables or the slots at the Seneca Niagara Casino and Hotel.
Romantic Tours in the Niagara Falls Region
If you are in season, you simply must board the Maid of the Mist so you can observe the falls in all of their natural glory. The spray from the falls literally does create a beautiful mist that surrounds the boat with all its spectators. The Maid of the Mist is an especially memorable and enjoyable activity that is perfect couples for all ages. For a bit of history, explore the historic and romantic Lockport Cave and Underground Boat ride, which educates its passengers on the history of the Erie Canal.
If you would prefer to stay on land, you can still enjoy the beauty and magic of the falls. Simply enjoy a scenic driving tour, which may bring you to any of Niagara USA’s twelve family-owned wineries. Two romantic things you won’t want to miss on your romantic weekend getaway to Niagara Falls is the magnificent light show on the falls or the Friday and Sunday evening fireworks shows over the falls, starting at 10 p.m.
Luxury and Romantic Accommodations at Niagara Falls USA
Laura Taczak said that Niagara USA offers 20 hotels, 28 motels, and 29 bed and breakfast properties, so your choices for accommodations are suitable for any budget and preference. She suggested the luxurious Seneca Niagara Casino, the Red Coach Inn (close to the brink of the falls), and Barton Hill Hotel in Lewiston (with its own spa), which is a stone’s throw from the Niagara River.
If you want to try and catch the peak fall foliage, consider planning your Niagara Falls USA trip during the second or third week of October. The beautiful display of color will be well worth your trip. Just bear in mind that many of the water based attractions are seasonal and begin to shut down around the end of October.
Niagara Falls USA truly does offer a romantic and exciting weekend getaway for couples. With so much to see and so much to do, your weekend will be full of romance, exploration, and relaxation.
