2) Niagara Falls
17 miles north of Buffalo, Niagara Falls flows through America’s oldest state park, Niagara Falls State Park. Visitors are treated to its awesome might as millions of gallons of water rocket over the falls every minute – about 750,000 gallons per second! There are several ways to experience this inspiring flow, including from decks, boats, vista points and trails. The park is full of family friendly attractions and interactive exhibits, as well as plenty of dining options such as the popular Top of the Falls Restaurant. You can also take in the Cave of the Winds Tour or make friends with sea life at the Aquarium of Niagara. If you’re feeling even more adventurous, take a trip on the famous Maid of the Mist boat ride where you can experience the water cascading all around you. Just be sure to cover up, as you will get wet in the wild mist of the falls.
