Niagara Falls 2-Day Tour from NYC with Corning & Finger Lakes

Day 1: New York -- Corning -- Niagara Falls（Scenic Stops and Niagara Falls Night Tour）

1. New York City
   Pass by
   We set off from New York in the morning and head upstate, watching the skyline give way to rolling countryside as we make our way toward Niagara Falls.
   Day 1: New York → Corning Museum of Glass → Watkins Glen State Park + Finger Lakes → Niagara Falls Night View In-depth Tour [Goat Island & Luna Island; Horseshoe Falls, Bridal Veil Falls & American Falls]
2. Corning Museum of Glass
   1h 30m · Admission ticket not included
   Corning Museum of Glass (optional, 90 min): If you’d like, stop at the world-famous Corning Museum of Glass, the heart of the American glass industry. Some 100,000 pieces fill the galleries, from colorful artworks to crystal-clear sculptures, with live glassmaking demonstrations that turn a roadside break into something memorable.
3. Watkins Glen State Park
   1h 30m · Admission ticket not included
   Watkins Glen State Park + Finger Lakes (optional, 90 min, seasonal): When the park is open for the season, you can detour into Watkins Glen, the “Millennium Valley” in the Finger Lakes region. Its roughly two-mile gorge trail winds past more than a dozen waterfalls carved by glaciers and streams. The surrounding Finger Lakes, fourteen long and narrow lakes set side by side like fingers, round out the scenery.
4. Niagara Falls
   1h 30m
   Niagara Falls Night View In-depth Tour: By evening you arrive at Niagara for the night tour, “one park, two islands, three falls.” Heading deep into the park, you take in multi-angle views from Goat Island and Luna Island while Horseshoe Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and American Falls glow under shifting colored lights. When a fireworks show is scheduled that evening, we make sure you’re there to see it.
   Note: Watkins Glen + Finger Lakes is a seasonal summer stop, generally available May to October once the park officially opens. Please refer to the park’s official website for exact dates; when the park is closed, this stop is not available.
   Note: hotel near Niagara Falls (e.g., Crowne Plaza Niagara Falls NY – Riverside by IHG; Buffalo Marriott Niagara; Aloft Buffalo Airport; or similar).

Day 2: Niagara Falls -- New York（Niagara Falls and Thrilling Experiences）

1. Niagara Falls State Park
   2h 30m · Admission ticket not included
   Add the Classic Tour to get up close to the falls. At Whirlpool Park you look down on a 125-foot-deep natural whirlpool, formed where the river makes a sharp turn and the rapids churn back on themselves. At the Cave of the Winds, an elevator drops you into the gorge and onto walkways at the foot of the falls, close enough to feel the spray. In summer the tour finishes with the Maid of the Mist, the storied boat sailing since 1846 that carries you right into the misty basin below the falls. In the cooler season, when the boat is closed, it swaps in Old Fort Niagara State Park, a historic fort at the mouth of the Niagara River with sweeping views over Lake Ontario.
   Note: the Maid of the Mist usually closes in winter and is not visited during that period; the winter itinerary visits Old Fort Niagara State Park instead.
2. New York City
   8h
   From there it’s a comfortable drive back to New York, wrapping up the trip with the sights and sounds of Niagara still fresh in mind.
