What your day looks like
Start by downloading the Action Tour Guide app, which will function as your personal tour guide, audio tour, and map all in one. Note: This tour takes about 1-2 hours. Once downloaded, your Niagara Falls walking tour begins just outside Niagara Falls State Park. From there, you’ll head into the park and stop at the Civil War Monument for some unexpected history! Then it’s time to head toward the falls. You’ll stroll out to the soaring Observation Tower, offering unparalleled views of the American Falls. Then you’ll walk over to Prospect Point for an up-close look! Learn the difference among the American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and Horseshoe Falls. Then discover the legend of Lelawala and hear how the falls’ power is harnessed. Your journey continues over Hell’s Half Acre as you cross a bridge over these frightening rapids. Next, you’ll learn about the fearless daredevils who braved the falls over the years… many with only a barrel to protect them! Visit the Nikola Tesla Monument and uncover this influential inventor’s connection to these falls. After that, you’ll experience the exhilarating Cave of the Winds Lookout, right next to the falls!
