Being a famous honeymoon(蜜月) place and the seventh natural wonder of the world, it’s no wonder that Niagara Falls tourism is growing stronger and stronger year by year. Though it is most often visited by honeymooners and retirees, Niagara Falls is also a fantastic place for families and adventurers to explore.

But what is the best way to see the falls? You may want to try seeing the falls from a boat, like the Maid of the Mist which takes you right through the waters around all of the main attractions. This is a wet but enjoyable way to get close enough to see the falls.

Another way of seeing Niagara Falls is through the elevator at the Table Rock House. The elevator will drop you 151 feet through the rocks to an area where you’ll be able to view the falls from behind. If you don’t like to get wet, you may want to try seeing the falls from the Skylon Tower Observation Deck. No matter which way you choose to see the falls during the daytime, don’t miss the chance to take a look at the falls at night. In the evening, twenty - two spotlights(聚光灯) illuminate the falls with a rainbow of colours. This light show takes place at different times all year round, so make sure you check the schedule before you go.

In fact, there are so many other interesting places along the Niagara Parkway and within the town of Niagara Falls, Canada that you might decide to stay for an extra week to see them all. If you want to get a full view of the area, you can take the cable car(缆车) and enjoy the beauty from high above.
