Well, this is hard to review. The falls are amazing. One of the most amazing places to go in the world. Just as breathtaking as the Grand Canyon. So, the falls, get 5 stars, but that has nothing to do with the management.
Staff we encountered were friendly, but EVERYTHING was closed! Yes, we did come in the offseason, but seriously, everything was closed. The worst was that probably half of the walking trails and viewing platforms were closed and it wasn't even icy. Canadian side lets you get much closer. -

The most breath-taking falls I've ever seen in my entire natural born life, and it is one of the 7 wonders of the world and a popular wedding/honeymoon destination. I've never seen anything as majestic as this. Before arriving at Niagara Falls, my family and I had to wait out a storm for two hours at Corning before making the trek and arriving here. We had come from a town 4 hours away just to see this place. It was my first visit ever to Niagara Falls in late Fall where it's extremely cold and slightly windy. 18 degrees did not sway this thin-blooded woman from Hawai'i though!
It's a shame I wasn't able to ride on the Maid of the Mist, a boat that takes visitors around and behind the falls. I have been to both the American and Canadian Falls utilizing the foot bridge. Despite the extreme cold factor, it was still very beautiful during the Harvest season. Where else can one see massive amounts of thunderous and calm falls all in one place? I was totally awe struck when I saw the falls illuminated at night! I enjoyed both the American and Canadian side of the falls.
There are three gift shops - Top of the Falls, Cave of the Winds, and Prospect Point (at the main floor Visitors Center). Prospect Point Cafe serves up great snacks, but if you're looking for something more, the signature Top of the Falls restaurant is the place to go.
I had a great experience here and look forward to returning someday. -

NY side is ugly and horrid. Canada side is beautiful and clean. Seneca falls casino has nothing on Fallsview casino in canada. DO NOT STAY ON U.S. SIDE. Disgusting. Canada side actually has lights to make it beautiful at night.

Free!!!!!!!! The falls views are free, which is the most important reason to visit this park. The surrounding areas are kind of depressing but the falls are powerful and beautiful!

This is the best part of the American side of the falls. There are paths to walk that you can see the rapids from and it's not as crowded with rude tourists if you go through some areas. It's clean and has a great visitor's center. Parking is $10 if you park right there, but there is no other entrance fee. I highly suggest you park, walk around, and go on the Maid of the Mist here. Highly worth it!

So pretty one of the worlds 7 wonders!! So well maintained clean and beautiful! Definitely visit it's worth a trip! Go in the summer if you can. I went in April almost may it's still really cold but none the less gorgeous! I'm going back hopefully in the summer! The ny side is where the falls actually are but when you cross the bridge to the canada side you'll see the view of the falls, so when they say the canada side is nicer its only because you get the view of the falls on the ny side.

Hey the Canadian side gets all the glory, but take some time and visit the American side and this state park. Very rustic in many ways and closer to nature. Wonderful trails and unique views of the falls. Sure, you'll want to stay on the Canadian side, but you can get closer to both falls (American and Rainbow) over here. You'll be surprised how rough the river is!
No admission (thanks NY state taxpayers), there's a statue of Nikola Tesla (thanks for AC power my immigrant friend) and it's withing spitting distance of the Gateway To The Falls mall (ok well not)
