This natural miracle looks beautiful at any time of the year, but please remember, that Canadian winters are rather cold! If you are not afraid of the frost, you will have a delightful opportunity to contemplate stark waterfall in all its magnificence.
In spring it becomes colored with tulips and daffodils. In summer when it's warm and sunny you often can watch a rainbow above waterfall.

One of the most exciting experiences is the trip to waterfall on the boat. It's necessary to wear a raincoat because you get wet anyway.
Another way to get strong impressions is the Journey Behind the Falls. Lift takes you to three tunnels from where opens a breathtaking view to waterfalls. You can also admire Niagara from the air in helicopter.
Some prefer to enjoy a spectacular view of Niagara from the bridges - Rainbow Bridge is the most popular one.
