A popular vacation spot is located in and around Niagara Falls, on the north-western corner of the state. Boat tours right in the Niagara River that go behind the Falls for an exciting new perspective are always popular. Many people like to bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the beautiful views. Open all year round, it is just as spectacular in the winter with its partially frozen pillars and tremendous ice jams, as it is in the late spring when the rushing water is at its greatest volume. Other attractions in the area include the Aquarium and the numerous dining facilities. Some people think of Niagara Falls as the “honeymoon capital of the world,” while others just think of it as an “awesome display of God’s handiwork in Creation.” A visit there for a day or a week or longer would certainly be a satisfying New York vacation. Accommodation would range from a KOA (Kampgrounds of America) campsite, where you can pitch your family tent, to the 5-star resorts with elaborate honeymoon suites to suit everyone’s tastes. (more…)
