Niagara Falls (US) attractions

Located on the grounds of the Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens, the Niagara Falls Butterfly Conservatory is a tropical paradise full of lush vegetation, scenic waterfalls, and thousands of vibrantly coloured butterflies. Over 2,000 butterflies, consisting of 45 different species, call this beautiful space home.

The Whirlpool Aero Car has been soaring above the Niagara Gorge since 1916. This antique cable car is suspended from six sturdy cables and offers spectacular views of the swirling Niagara Whirlpool and the mighty whitewater rapids of the Niagara River. Fun fact: the Aero Car travels between two points on the Canadian shore, but riders will actually cross the international border between Canada and the United States up to four times on a single trip, due to bends in the river!

Journey Behind the Falls is the ultimate way to experience the jaw-dropping natural wonder that is Niagara Falls. It offers visitors a once-in-a-lifetime chance to stand on a viewing platform hewn into the cliffside, just feet away from Canada's most colossal water feature, as one-fifth of the world's freshwater thunders past. Don't go chasing waterfalls in Niagara without booking a ticket to this extraordinary experience!

Billed as a first-hand lesson in the raw power and peril of the Niagara River, the White Water Walk allows visitors to get a closer and more personal view of the river's mighty white-water rapids. Viewing platforms positioned at the river's edge provide unique perspectives of the water, as well as the local flora and fauna found in Niagara Parks.

The Everson Museum of Art is for everyone, a place where community connects and inspiration surrounds you. The Everson is a museum of firsts. It was the first museum to dedicate itself to the collection of American art, to create a permanent collection of ceramics, to collect video art, to create a docent program and to hire the now internationally-known architect I.M. Pei to design its building, a sculptural work of art in its own right. The Everson is home to over 10,000 works of art: American paintings, sculpture, drawings, video, graphics and one of the largest holdings of international ceramics in the nation.
