    City of Niagara Falls - Courtyard at night

    I will admit that when I used to cross over the border and hit Niagara Falls, I didn't stop. I…read moreended up visiting other cities, such as Buffalo, Erie, Columbus, and Philadelphia. Maybe it's because I'm used to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. Canadians will say that it's the nicer Falls, with the floral clock, Skylon Tower, Hershey's, Fallsview Casino and Hotel, and more. The Falls on this side of the border are equally as stunning. What is cool about the Rainbow Bridge that connects Canada and the United States, you can cross in a vehicle or on foot, as long as you have proper documentation. It's cool. If I did the latter at Emerson-Pembina (Manitoba-North Dakota) border, I'd probably get a bunch of nasty stares! I recently stayed in Niagara Falls, NY. It was mainly because hotel prices were cheaper than in Buffalo. I'm glad that I did. The Courtyard hotel that I stayed at used to be a chocolate factory. One of the reasons why I loved staying there was because it had reminders of its past in the form of a mini museum. It was a gem of a find. This tourist enjoyed learning about the area quietly. Nearby was Seneca Niagara Resort and Casino. I used to work in the gaming industry and only heard about casino locations. It was cool driving back to the hotel at night and passing by this casino that had coloured lights illuminating the place. The Courtyard hotel where I was staying at seemed to be having an exterior lights dual with this casino. If you're a Canadian yearning for your favourite American items, you don't need to hit Buffalo. Niagara Falls is where you want to be. Trader Joe's. Ollie's. Wegmans. Tops. Duff's. Dunkin'. Olive Garden. It's a shorter distance to get your shopping and food fixes. I was only in the area for just under two days. Locals were so nice and friendly. They made my short stay enjoyable and memorable. I particularly liked dropping by Crush It Nutrition to get shakes and teas with no to low sugar. I thought that I either wouldn't be able to find such a place or would need to venture into Buffalo. I was grateful to have found this studio within a ten-minute drive from my hotel. It also helped that the owner was nice and chatty. I like when I make travel plans, and end up making a lot of fond memories and gaining an appreciation for a city that I took for granted. It was cool figuring Niagara Falls out for a brief time. It has left me wanting to go back to discover it some more. (157)

    It's very pretty in the winter because the mist freezes over and everything is frosted over. You…read morefeel like you're inside a snow globe.

    Goat island is a beautiful park and must do while in Niagara…read more We stayed on the US side so it's basically the only thing to do as all the good food and hotels and fun stuff is in Canada. But, this park is beautiful and well-maintained with lovely walking bridges, well-kept roads, plenty of parking, and miles of walking trails. This is where you'll visit the lookouts for Bridal Veil Falls, Cave of the Winds and the Terrapin Point lookout for the Horseshoe falls in the US. The visitor center and complex for the ticket purchase and gift shop for the Cave of the Winds is nice and there is a statue of Nikola Tesla as well as an original historic preserved gate to the original hydroelectric plant here. There is plenty to see and do here in an afternoon and it is time well spent.

The area is large, with much to explore and plenty of walking as you make your way to all three sets of falls, which are connected by a paved path. There are also places to eat within the park if you work up an appetite. Cave of the Winds is on Goat Island. You'll need to walk out onto Goat Island and buy your tickets at the Cave of the Winds Plaza The key highlights to see as you walk through the park are the view of Horseshoe Falls from Terrapin Point on Goat Island
