Fun Family Activities in Niagara Falls, USA
Niagara Falls offers plenty of fun on both sides of the border. In the United States, some of the most loved attractions include:
Maid of the Mist
One of the most popular activities on the United States side of Niagara Falls is the Maid of the Mist. Step aboard their all-electric boats and take a smooth ride to the falls.
Stand on either the upper or lower deck and listen (and maybe get a tad damp) as 600,000 gallons of water crash down every second.
Niagara Falls State Park
After riding the Maid of the Mist, explore the rest of Niagara Falls State Park for more activities and spectacular views. Use the trolley to travel between attractions, like the Observation Tower and the Cave of the Winds.
After the cave, step out onto the Hurricane Deck to feel the sheer power of the falls. Or, if you want to stay dry, traverse one of several hiking trails that run through the park.
Old Falls Street, USA
Hit the entertainment district of the US side on this three-block cobblestone road. Old Falls Street is lined with restaurants, backyard games, chairs and tables and more, making it a great place to relax between adventures.
You might even stumble upon some live music or a family-friendly movie night!
DeVeaux Woods State Park
Get lost in the forest at DeVeaux Woods State Park. Let the kids burn off energy at the playground and ball fields, then enjoy a relaxing picnic.
Or explore one of the many trails winding through the area. There’s even a path that leads to the Niagara Falls Scenic Parkway and into Whirlpool State Park.
Family Trip to Niagara Falls, Canada
Grab your passport and head to Canada if you want to explore even more in Niagara Falls! Family activities on the Canadian side include:
Clifton Hill
Clifton Hill is a popular family destination on Niagara’s Canadian side. Whether you want to play mini golf with dinosaurs, hit the arcade or splash at the indoor waterpark, there’s something for everyone.
The area is also home to two other major tourist attractions:
- Niagara Speedway: Race around this 4-story, multi-level go-kart track, which also has a spiral and coaster ramps.
- Niagara SkyWheel: Hop on one of the enclosed, climate-controlled gondolas for panoramic views 175 feet above the falls.
Niagara Parks Butterfly Conservatory
Step into the world of over 2,000 butterflies at one of the largest butterfly conservatories in North America. Let these majestic creatures land on your shoulder or watch as they flutter between plants.
Kids can draw in the live sketchbook and see their creation come to life on screen, or learn about pollinators at educational exhibits. You may even get to see a butterfly emerge from its cocoon!
Journey Behind the Falls
See Niagara Falls up close by donning a poncho and exploring 130-year-old tunnels during your Journey Behind the Falls. From the observation deck, you’ll have a one-of-a-kind view of the 13-story-tall natural wonder.
Skylon Tower
Take in the views from Canada’s Skylon Tower, which rises 775 feet above the falls. Step into its unique, rotating dining room for unparalleled views of the scenery.
All dining guests receive complimentary access to the indoor and outdoor observation decks. Bonus: stop by the Daredevil Museum on the main level to see the barrels and hear the stories of people who went over the waterfalls.
White Water Walk
Experience the sheer power of the Niagara River on the White Water Walk. The boardwalk trail offers stunning views of Class 6 whitewater rapids, which are some of the wildest in North America.
Be sure to stop by the viewing platforms located along the trail to get an even closer look at the roaring waters.
