Niagara Falls has always been a dual meaning of sorts. It's raw power makes it a particularly awe-inspiring site while it's romantic appeal has attracted lovers of all ages. From back in the days when daredevils would crazily attempt to conquer the falls from inside a barrel, to Hollywood's release of the movie 'Niagara' in 1953, starring Marilyn Monroe, Niagara has always had a sustainable power, both in physical form and in romantic lore. Back in it's golden years, honeymooners would flock to the site in what was akin to some sort of paganistic ritual that newly weds had to go through.
Today Niagara still dominates with it's spectacular display of the sheer force of it's 65,000 cubic feet per second power but it is also home to a secondary series of minor attractions and theaters that give the area an artsy type of a feel. There is still tours of the falls itself by the 'Maid of the Mist' boat tour, but you can now tour the Falls via helicopter. There are also several wine tours in the area and now a great indoor water park called Fallsview that is touted as '3 Acres of Indoor Family Fun'.
So if you're looking for fun that will thrill your whole family, regardless of their age, then consider Niagara Falls. Relive the romantic appeal in a new 21st century fashion and keep that wonderful magic alive!
