America’s oldest state park, this popular locale encompasses not only the Falls themselves but a host of related attractions. Landscaped gardens surround the visitor center, which features a film on the history of the falls. Other attractions include a discovery center (which details the region’s geology), an observation tower, and a trolley that transfers folks easily from destination to destination. You’ll also find other activities and attractions, including hiking and biking trails, picnic areas, concessions and fishing. (N.B. Savvy visitors often take advantage of the park’s Niagara USA Discovery Pass, which offers discounts on all park attractions and other area activities.)
