Niagara USA :: State Park. Spotlight Niagara Falls State Park is home to over 400 acres of lush landscape and wildlife, the beautiful Falls themselves, and many famous attractions. Niagara USA offers a breathtaking view of one of nature’s marvels and an experience that will last a lifetime. First discovered in 1678, by French explorer Father Louis Hennepin, Niagara Falls was one of America's first icons, luring explorers, daredevils and millions of visitors with its untamed beauty, thundering roar and tremendous power. World-class attractions such as the Maid of the Mist and Cave of the Winds, offer the eight million visitors each year an opportunity to feel, see and experience the rush of Niagara's waters. At the Frederick Law Olmsted designed park, the oldest state park in the nation, a natural splendor allows the park to be seen as nature intended it to be seen.

Each year, millions of people don sandals and ponchos to take part in a close up view of the American and Bridal Veil Falls on the Cave of the Winds. Map.

It may be a 90-minute drive from Toronto, and an unashamed major tourist attraction, but watching 750,000 gallons of water a second slide of a cliff right in front of you is pretty impressive by any standards.

Ramada Plaza Niagara Falls Deal of the Day | Groupon St Catharines-Niagara. Chic Hotel Minutes from Awe-Inspiring Falls Even as casinos, water parks, and ferris wheels have cropped up in the area, Niagara Falls’ most popular activity is still to witness the sheer power of nature. The falls are especially awe-inspiring in the winter, when the ever-present mist starts to crystallize and ice formations abound. Longer evenings mean more time to catch the nightly light show, which bathes the falls in soft colors. The spring and summer bring great opportunities as well, as the famous Maid of the Mist boat tour takes guests right up next to the falls starting in April.

Located just minutes from Horseshoe Falls, Ramada Plaza Niagara Falls makes a convenient home base for taking in the landmark and visiting nearby attractions. Large picture windows in the hotel's newly renovated guest rooms showcase views of the surrounding landscape. Rooms with balconies overlooking the courtyard are available upon request. Hilton Hotel and Suites Niagara Falls/Fallsview Deal of the Day | Groupon Barrie. Four-Star Hilton with Rooftop Restaurant Overlooking Niagara Falls Every day, about 200 billion liters of water surge over Canada's Horseshoe Falls, the largest of Niagara’s three waterfalls. Though impressive, statistics fail to capture the cascade’s full power: at ground level, there's a thunderous roar, and a massive cloud of mist rises high above the brink. From a higher vantage point at the four-star Hilton Hotel and Suites Niagara Falls/Fallsview, you can see the whole amazing show. Each of the hotel's guest rooms features expansive views of either Niagara Falls or the city, but the view from the 33rd-floor Watermark Restaurant is arguably the best in town.

Between bites of prime rib or roast rack of lamb, you can gaze down on Horseshoe Falls and speculate on the province's astronomical water bill. This Groupon also includes a credit at Brasa Brazilian Steakhouse, where you can select from 12 different cuts of meat.
