Niagara Falls, Natural waterfall attraction in Ontario, Canada
The Niagara Falls consist of three waterfalls spanning the border between Canada and the United States, with the Canadian Horseshoe Falls measuring 57 meters in height.
The formation of Niagara Falls began at the end of the last ice age, when melting ice drained into the Niagara River and eroded the rock formations.
The falls attract millions of visitors annually who participate in seasonal festivals, outdoor concerts, and winter light displays along the Niagara Parkway.
Visitors can purchase adventure passes that combine multiple attractions, including the Journey Behind the Falls, Butterfly Conservatory, and White Water Walk.
The Niagara Parks Power Station tunnel offers views from 180 feet below ground level, revealing the engineering marvel of one of Canada's first hydroelectric plants.
