Hundreds of thrill seekers have attempted stunts at the Falls since Annie's 1901 attempt, some giving their lives for the privilege. If visiting the Falls, be sure to visit the "Daredevil Hall of Fame," located in Niagara Falls, Ontario.

Always bring a raincoat and umbrella when visiting the Falls. Even on the most beautiful sunny, summer day, you can be drenched by mist caused by the pounding of the Falls into the Niagara River.

If in the area, be sure to visit the Falls at night. Spotlights of every hue of the rainbow shine on the Falls nightly. It is an awesome spectacle. Fireworks are set off over the Falls every Friday night during the summer, as well as Victoria Day (May 24th) Memorial Day (May 28th) Canada Day (July 1st) and Independence Day (July 4th) Fireworks always begin at 10pm.

Be sure to put Niagara Falls on your destination list. It truly is a masterpiece of nature that was carved into the landscape by water, ice and wind over 12,000 years ago. Hear the incessant "roar of thunder" as thousands of gallons of water pound into the Niagara Gorge.

Visit Ontario's Niagara Parks, Niagara-On-The-Lake and New York's Reservation Park. Experience awesome sights, sounds and fragrances that will make your visit an experience of a lifetime.
