I may have been there in the 70s too, I think, but of an age where I was too young for this world to remember anything. It was nice either way to experience now. Have you been to the Canadian side?
@@MagellanandGreyhound I think we were only on the American Side. Remember being fascinated reading a book we got at the gift shop about daredevils who had gone over the falls in barrels.
When I went in 2022 I wanted to do cave of the winds so bad but I had a broken arm with a cast and didn’t wanna risk it but did maid of the mist like 3 times.. 🤣😂I’m going again in about 2 weeks and hopefully able to do it.
Cave of the winds is technically open all year but from November till May the extended docks and Hurricane Deck get taken down during that time then get rebuilt every May
I would add Whirlpool State Park to the list of "must see" places in Niagara Falls. They got rid of the highway that used to run along the gorge, and the entire U.S. side is a green trail and you can walk down to the edge of the river at Whirlpool State Park to see the rapids.
Have been on the Canadian side a number of times, but never the US side...looks like I am going to have to change that. Always love it there. Take care and have a great week. Bruce and Otis
Canadian side and pay to go under the falls, so worth it. Its thunderously loud, and tunnels lead to within 5 feet of the water rushing in front of you. So powerful is the best way to describe it. Did this 40 years ago and is still a highlight !
I heard you can do that! That sounds like so much fun. We’re hoping to check out the Canadian side on a separate trip to Toronto. We had a tight itinerary this trip unfortunately.
Whether you have one day or many, I would say make sure you do cave of the winds and maid of the mist early. Those get the most crowded. The fireworks will fill up faster on weekends so get there early for that. Everything else Id it’ll easy to just go to one from one spot to another
I am not kidding I was at Niagara yesterday too. But side note you should have included the whirlpool jet tours. I know they are not right at the falls but it is only a 10 minute drive and 45 minutes of chaos!
Maid of the Mist and Cave of the Winds are very popular and the later the day goes, the lines for tickets can get crazy. We did Cave of the Winds first, then Maid of the Mist, and then everything else afterwards. Plus, we thought it best to get wet earlier in the day and dry off haha
My wife and I went up twice per year until covid. Canadian and American sides. They didn't mention the jet boat rides on the rapids,yes it's expensive but you need to do it at least one time. We went in July and October. The only problem in October was some things were closed for the season. Looking forward to 2024.
Im from Nicaragua I just watched all of your videos and I think they're very nice and interesting and one of the things I want to do one day is see this in person, you need to come here and visit our places, San Juan del Sur maybe
This is such an amazing list of things to do. Unfortunately we didn't visit all these places when we visited NF back in 2012. Maid of the mist was my favorite. The illuminations and the fireworks were spectacular. The Trolley ride seems fun to try..) Great Video.
Someone said it best and it proved true. If you wanna SEE the Falls, go to the Canadian side. But if you wanna FEEL the Falls, go to the American side.
@@MagellanandGreyhound I'm more connected to nature than "boardwalk action", so I personally prefer the American side, but I think it's important to be balanced and have fun on both sides. They both have something to offer. 😊
For someone who likes to live vicariously through others youtube videos, I will finally have to get off the couch and experience this as well. lol damnit
Been to Niagara Falls about 40 times in my life lol I only live 2 hours away I know most every view point by heart Terrapin Point is my Favorite spot out of all the views on both sides
Thanks for the great video, i am planning to visit US for a week and Niagra Fall as a main attraction to visit. Are rented shoes or gumboots available as it seems that shoes will get completely drenched.
They will provide you with water shoes and a poncho for the cave included in your ticket, but only a poncho for the boat. You shouldn’t need them for the boat. Have fun!
We have heard it’s way better lol, which is crazy because this was still really cool. We skipped that side because we’re planning on doing it along with a future trip to Toronto.

Brought back fond childhood memories of a family trip there in the early 70s. Thanks for sharing, great job as usual!

@@dougclark6696 I remember hearing people talk about the barrel rides. Crazy!

Glad to hear your arm is (hopefully) better. Cave is so much fun. I loved doing it. Maybe too much. 😂😂😂
You were there more recently than me.
Wow Great Capture !!! does Cave of Wind remain open in the month of April ?
I believe it's open year round!

Great suggestion. We'll have to check that out on our way to the Canadian side when we visit again.
New sub Very nice sharing my dear respected friend full support and Big likes from Ahmed Ali Nizamani 💕💕💕💕❤️
Is it safe to travel SOLO ( female traveller) from nyc to niagra fall at night ?
Wow, what a tour! This is really awesome. Great job showing us around. I'm starting to think the American side is better. We missed so much!
I wish we did the Canadian side too, but we’re saving that for a combo trip to Toronto
Have been on the Canadian side a number of times, but never the US side...looks like I am going to have to change that. Always love it there. Take care and have a great week. Bruce and Otis
That’s our goal for next time. Heard the Canadian side is different but great in its own way too. We’re thinking a trip there and then Toronto.

@@MagellanandGreyhound My best M+G, rock on with whatever you both do...Love it all !!!!
@@barbwire8280 thank you! you as well! Life's for living!
What order would you recommend doing these things in? We are planning on going September 2022.
Whether you have one day or many, I would say make sure you do cave of the winds and maid of the mist early. Those get the most crowded. The fireworks will fill up faster on weekends so get there early for that. Everything else Id it’ll easy to just go to one from one spot to another

Haha that's awesome. Oh man, I just looked that up. That looks like so much fun!
In what order would you do the attractions? In the order posted, or different?
Thanks
Maid of the Mist and Cave of the Winds are very popular and the later the day goes, the lines for tickets can get crazy. We did Cave of the Winds first, then Maid of the Mist, and then everything else afterwards. Plus, we thought it best to get wet earlier in the day and dry off haha
Thanks for sharing this list. Great video too. By the way, what time does the light show and fireworks starts?
I think it’s 10pm May through October for fireworks. Lights are right before it gets dark throughout the year. And thank you :)
Hi Magellan and Greyhound. Good morning. How often do you travel, may i join. I like traveling and have few interesting ideas. Thanks
We usually travel once or twice a year and many weekend trips.
Best Best Best video so far!!! You guys did an awesome job showing exactly what is needed. Ilove it and become your new fan❤
Thank you so much. You are very kind. 😁

That’s not a bad habit to have formed! We want to head to the Canadian side. No idea when but do pretty there!

Thank you! You will love Niagara Falls. Nicaragua is on our list! Possibly in the next few years.

Thank you Suri. Cave of the winds was my favorite. 😉

That’s a great statement! We hope to check out the Canadian side one day soon. We have heard the views are fantastic

@@ssettev9361 that's a really balanced way of looking at anything, to be honest. we are very much more on the nature side too though :)
OMG
Thanks for this detailed video, will finally be able to cover all these spots next weekend specially I am excited for the hurricane deck.
You're very welcome. The hurricane deck is definitely an experience. We hope you have fun!
For someone who likes to live vicariously through others youtube videos, I will finally have to get off the couch and experience this as well. lol damnit
It was a lot of fun and isn’t at all strenuous for the payoffs you get. Get off dat couch 😉
trying to be there soon insa❤Allah ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@ranayaseen6180 have fun!
Thank you for the clear guidance, could feel the good vibe in every video, really enjoy it!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed! 😁

@@wm3293 that’s awesome! We’d visit more if we were that close. Such a beautiful place
I have only been there 2 times. I need to go there again.
@@bighand1530 would love to go there again too 😁
@@MagellanandGreyhound I hear ya.

@@MagellanandGreyhound thanks a lot for your swift reply.
no problem!
Awesome. I can't wait to go!
Nr.1 buy a Beerbarrel ... ;-)
😄
Bruce???
I prefer the Canadian side.
Can't wait to check out that side one day!
@@MagellanandGreyhound you will absolutely enjoy it!!! I enjoyed your video on the US side!! I took my grandson to both sides of it.
@@mizbrown5807 that’s great! We were short on time and couldn’t head over. Hopefully next time
You should go to the Canada side. 😁
We have heard it’s way better lol, which is crazy because this was still really cool. We skipped that side because we’re planning on doing it along with a future trip to Toronto.
I actually live in Niagara falls and it obvious this tour didn't go to far deep into the inner city urban areas
