Horseshoe Falls, but also for its immaculate parks and recreational trails, fascinating historical and cultural points of
interests, over 90 diversified restaurants, 50 international recognized wineries, 40 professional golf courses, world
renowned theatre, affordable accommodations, and countless attractions. This is why Niagara attracts more visitors each

Falls up close and personal... from the Table Rock area, by taking the Journey Behind the Falls, downstream along the river
through the Niagara Glen, aboard the Maid of the Mist as it takes passengers on a soaking wet ride near the base of the
Falls or from high above on Niagara Helicopters or dining at the Skylon or Konica Minolta Tower.
