The sound of Wedding Falls in Niagara

funtime65

It’s the ultimate big day rush, the sound of Wedding Falls in Niagara and it’s how our Canadian friends do it.

And when you boast ‘the eighth wonder of the world’ then it would be an oversight not to utilise it, eh, as our mountie friends would say.

Now our friends in Niagara like to keep us updated on their falls.

And to remind us that the best views are on the Canadian side.

Niagara Falls has long been the honeymoon destination of choice for Canadians.

Prospect good

Winter wonderland: Niagara Falls State Park 

And we’re reliably informed that Prospect Point is where you want to go for your rush.

Where you’ll witness the nightly illumination of the Falls.

While for added romance winter fireworks light up the water on select evenings.

Sometimes the best way to take in the Falls is from indoors and the Niagarans advise couples to take in the Red Coach Inn.

Have boots, will travel: Niagara Falls winter photoshoot

Where couples can relax by the grand Tudor-style fireplace, enjoy local wine and take in the vistas of the Rapids.

Alternatively our hosts have this romance filled day set out for all you lovers.

Beginning with breakfast at Marketside before exploring Niagara Falls State Park.

With breathtaking views from the Observation Tower or an up-close experience at the Cave of the Winds.

If there’s snow on the ground, borrow a pair of snowshoes from the Cave of the Winds Pavilion and continue your wintry exploration of the park.

On the right trail

Fall in line: And go with the flow

And because the Niagarans know that honeymoon couples love the flow of booze as much as they do the flow of a waterfall.

They’ve a day of wining and dining planned out too.

And suggest you head north to historic Lewiston, where a morning can be spent browsing boutique shops.

Before spending the day exploring the Niagara Wine Trail.

The trail starts at Bella Rose, then couples can plan their journey along the trail.

With the help of Niagara USA’s expert wine touring tips.

Your final evening has to be spent with a cosy Italian meal at Carmelo’s Coat of Arms, known for its locally sourced cuisine.

And all of this is made easier with Aer Lingus flying to Toronto from Glasgow (each way from £312.33pp).

And head down to the big water and wonder at the sound of Wedding Falls in Niagara.

 

 

 

America, Countries

Niagara Spotter Falls

funtime65

And, of course, like everything it’s always a different perspective depending on your standpoint and the world’s most famous waterfalls can be explored on a number of Niagara Spotter Falls.

Various viewing areas are available in Niagara Falls State Park (the American side).

Luna Island is a small area between the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls.

And it offers awe-inspiring, close-up views of both Falls.

Spray it again: Boat rides

Terrapin Point, we’re told, is perfect for sights of the thundering Horseshoe Falls.

While Prospect Point is the prime viewing area for the American Falls and Rapids including the nightly illumination and seasonal fireworks.

The nightly illuminations transform the natural wonder into an array of colours.

Special event displays change colours in support of various causes and significant milestones.

Or fly it: The American Eagle, obviously

Now, of course, the Falls are the most spectacular sight in them thar parts.

But you should also experience what goes on beyond the waters.

Beyond the Falls

Watch your step: Exercising

The free Niagara Falls shuttle service operates from May until September.

And you can take a trip to attractions such as Old Fort Niagara and Niagara Falls Underground Railroad Heritage Center.

While from 4-8 April NASA astronauts will provide free programming and exhibits throughout Niagara Falls USA around the Solar Eclipse.

Including at Niagara Falls Public Libraries, the Niagara Falls Underground Railroad Heritage Centre, the Aquarium of Niagara…

The Niagara Power Vista, the Niagara Falls Culinary Institute and Niagara Falls State Park.

Virtual NY State

Falling for Niagara: And, yes, you should look up

Just north of the Falls, the Niagara Power Vista is an electrifying experience.

With interactive exhibits and the chance to design your own dam.

And a high-tech virtual ride across the landscapes of New York State.

Which, of course, I was denied when I visited the Horseshoe Falls, and this is the thing, because of the fog.

All this is for free and open all-year round.

So remember there is always a different perspective depending on your standpoint so be one of the Niagara Spotter Falls.

All major airlines fly to New York airports and Toronto.
