This is an absolute must :) Get up close to the waterfalls while standing on the boat. Be prepared to get wet from the mist. Panchos are provided. You can reserve tickets online the day of your tour.

Soak up every drop of powerful spray aboard the Maid of the Mist. It's the only way to truly experience the rush from the 600,000 gallons of water falling per second

Lewiston was the final stop for many slaves escaping to freedom in Canada via the Underground Railroad. Visit the Underground Railroad Museum in Niagara Falls to learn more about the Underground Railroad and the role of many local citizens in the fight to end slavery in the 1800’s.

If you come to this area, this is a MUST. There are a lot of great areas to walk on the US side around the park. Niagara Falls itself doesn't have much but you can spend a 1/2 day walking around this park. Make sure you see...Three Sisters Island, Bridal Veil Falls, Goat Island, Schoellkopf Power station, Old Falls Street and take the trolley all around too.

There are multiple Trails in the park, I'd say visit the falls it's a must if you've never been there and definitely go on the Maid of the mist boat tour (that takes you through under the falls) and the Cave of the winds where you can walk down to the falls and it has tons of native wildlife. If you've done those I'd recommend hiking through Devil's hole niagara gorge where you can walk through the side of Niagara river.

From Kylie's guidebook

Niagara Falls is just 15–20 minutes north — definitely worth the trip if you haven't been. Pro-tip, if you want to take in more scenery in the summer months try the Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours a little north in Lewiston, but warning: you will get soaking wet!

From Neil's guidebook

Niagara Falls and Maid of the Mist (Drive or take the free Discovery Niagara Shuttle). Maid of the Mist is a must! Line moves quickly so don’t be discouraged. Walk up the wooden stairs and paths into the mist after the boat tour before you head back up the elevator. If you drive, you should also head over to Goat Island for a great brink-side view of both the American and Horseshoe Falls. Consider walking over Rainbow Bridge to Niagara Falls Ontario too (Passport needed).

Take a boat ride at the base of Niagara Falls. The boat will pull right up to the horseshoe falls and you will be blasted with water spray from the falls. (Ponchos are provided) *Pro Local Tip: Park at the Seneca Niagara Casino ramp for free parking! It is a short 5 minute walk to all of the attractions in Niagara Falls!
