Niagara Falls - Thrills and Adventure

Niagara Falls is the most popular waterfalls in North America, and probably the most popular in the world. The breathtaking beauty of the waterfalls attracts intrigued visitors from around the globe. Niagara Falls actually straddles the border of the United States and Canada which lends to two cities with the same name, or the twin cities. The twin cities are Niagara Falls, Ontario and Niagara Falls, New York. It is easy to visit and enjoy both cities in just one visit to the Falls. Not only is Niagara Falls breathtakingly beautiful, it also offers many activities for families to enjoy.

Since 1962, people visiting Niagara Falls have enjoyed going to the Konica Minolta Tower Centre. The Konica Minolta Tower boasts that it has the best views of Niagara Falls. This isn’t hard to believe since the Observation Deck sits at the top of the 525 foot tower. The Falls are lit up at night and make for a beautiful view and a unique experience. The Pinnacle Restaurant is also located at the top of the tower. You can dine on steak and seafood while gazing at the Horseshoe and American Falls. When you are finished enjoying the view, take a trip to the gift and souvenir shop to pick up something to remember the experience.

The Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours is a company that offers exhilarating fun for the whole family. If you are the outdoors type or just like a good adventure, this will be right up your alley. The jet boat literally jets up the river towards the Niagara Gorge to give you a chance to take in the amazing view. Travel through the stonewalled canyon that is the Niagara Gorge and take in the breathtaking scenery. After that, hold tight as the boat splashes into the Devil’s Hold Rapids, an exciting whitewater. Last is the best part – the legendary Whirlpool where you tumble around just half of a mile from the beautiful Niagara Falls.
