On select scheduled evenings, look to the sky for an unforgettable finale as fireworks burst above the illuminated Falls.
This isn't simply a Niagara Falls sightseeing tour. It's an evening of mist, maple, chocolate, sunset views, glowing lights, warm drinks and unforgettable moments beside one of the world's most spectacular natural wonders.
