Niagara Falls spills around 20 billion litres of water per hour, which is no little feat, for sure. This fact alone makes seeing Niagara Falls from the Ontario side particularly amazing when compared to the two smaller, straighter Falls on the New York side of the Niagara River.

But nothing can prepare you for that moment when you're faced by Niagara Falls' magnificent (57m, 187ft) plunge into the jagged rocks below.

There are many wonderful ways you can experience Niagara Falls on your vacation. You can travel by helicopter overhead, walk to the base of Niagara Falls through subterranean passageways, sail into its spray on the Maid of the Mist or stroll past Niagara Falls on any of the walkways at street leve.

The City of Niagara Falls hosts 12 million visitors each year, with around 50,000 being honeymooners, all coming to witness the magnificence of Niagara Falls.

With the addition of ever-larger casinos, the city is developing far beyond a tourist and honeymoon destination for one of the natural wonders of the world. What will be the end result for Niagara Falls of this meeting of nature and commercialism? Only time will.
