I liked too how they have a Tim Horton's in the downstairs area.

Go too on the upper level's viewing deck area, and you'll get beautiful shots of the falls at night and during the day as well. Bathrooms were super clean too, I was impressed with that.

There are bathrooms, a visitor's booth, food, a coffee and ice cream bar, a gift shop, and a candy store all located inside. Very nice, clean, and warm!

It's not often that a rest stop feels this thoughtful and well-maintained. The entire space felt welcoming and peaceful. It's perfect for a quick break or even a longer pause to stretch and reset.

You can snap a picture and send it to yourself right from there. If you're passing through, definitely take a few extra minutes to stop here. It's clear a lot of care went into making this a place people can actually enjoy.

Right off the bat, I was pleasantly surprised to find the bathrooms sparkling clean! There were a ton of stalls so we didn't have to worry about waiting in line.

There is a shop selling all kinds of New York local favorites, from pasta sauces to honey. Definitely a great place to stop in!

Thrilling attractions and interactive exhibits, riverfront hiking trails, and delectable dining options. While I was here, I spent time exploring many of the trails throughout the park with gorgeous views of nature that was well maintained. The park has amazing views of the falls. I participated in the Cave of the Winds experience where I descended 175 feet into the Niagara Gorge and feel the water flowing off the Falls from the Hurricane Deck. I got a ticket to the Niagara Falls State Park Observation Tower where I saw the only panoramic view of all three cataracts that comprise Niagara Falls, including the American Falls. I ate at Top of the Falls Restaurant that offers American-fare lunch and dinners and a panoramic view of the Falls. You can access The Maid of the Mist boat tour in Niagara Falls, N.Y. From the park. I did not purchase tickets for this experience since I rode the boat on the Canada side. I spent almost the entire day here and could have spent even more time exploring the trails and the Schoellkopf Power Station ruins site if I didn't have a time restriction. Definitely a must see natural wonder.

I probably spent 30 minutes looking through the brochures here. They also have a bulletin board with events in the area but unfortunately it doesn't look like it gets updated .

They have vending machines and they even have a microwave for people to use, which is unique and very thoughtful. There is a button you can push inside if you need the police, so that helps with a feeling of safety and I did see a red and white sheriff's vehicle parked there with two deputies inside on my visit. There are lots of tables outside with chairs and a grassy area where you can take your pets. Plus the view of the water is very beautiful, especially right now with all the fall foliage.

The building is easy to access from the highway. For your nexus appointment, they will require a print out of your booking confirmation in order to enter the building. You also need your passport and second piece of id (i.e. driver's license). Once inside, the waiting room was spacious with a bathroom. I was actually called in early for my appointment. The interview was more informative than questioning on the Canadian side. They also seemed to be adhering to a tight schedule so they offered me a pass to help get me across the border for the second half of the interview. Overall it was an extremely pleasant experience. The border guard was great (been doing the job for 24 years) and I would recommend this location to get your Nexus card.

Door #1 is where you first confirm your appointment, sign initial paperwork, get your picture taken, fingerprints scanned, as well as retinas. Then, head outside and follow the yellow line to Door #2 where you wait again in another waiting room to be called for an interview. This place loses a big star for not having private rooms. As we sat in the waiting room we all heard an officer ask one of the applicants about their criminal history and we could hear what he divulged--not cool. Also, they may ask you when was the last time you were in a specific city in the U.S. even though they have all of that information on the screen in front of them--they're testing your honesty! If you're a new applicant, you have to meet with both a U.S. Homeland Security officer and a CBSA (Canadian) officer. Former and existing Nexus cardholders only need to meet with a U.S. officer. Your new Nexus card will be in the mail within 7-10 business days.
