Question

Is Niagara Falls as beautiful in person as it is in the pictures?

Answer 1

The Canadian side is better. I saw it once in winter and with the ice around the bottom and mist swirling it was very pretty. I saw it the first time in summer and while I didn't think it was as impressive a sight as I'd expected, what impressed me was when I stood near the top and watched the water go over. That's a lot of water and it's moving fast. I haven't been out on the Maid of the Mist but that must be awesome in the truest sense of the word. I have been under the falls, you go down on elevators, the water falls in front of you and that gives you an idea how powerful the falls are. You can feel the ground shake. Sure, it's a tourist place and has been for a long time, what else would you expect? So is the Grand Canyon. Doesn't make it not worth a visit. Depends what you like.

Answer 2

Yes, but only from th Canadian side, as it's much cleaner and the people dress better. :-))

Answer 3

No.  My husband student taught in Buffalo, so we took a couple of trips to Niagara Falls.  I wasn't impressed.  The US side is terribly dirty.  It is a very poor town.  The Canadian side is full of tourists.  We saw the falls and I was like "that's it?"  I thought that they would be bigger then they are.  You sort of look down at them.

Answer 4

It is one of the most wonderful places I have ever seen! Next to Lake George, if you want any real sense of how beautiful it really is pictures can't describe it. To sum it up, it is more beautiful in person then it is in pictures. Both sides offer a beautiful view but the Canadaian side offers a more panoramic view.

Answer 5

yes the canadian side is nicer both are cool
