Let me start off by saying that I love Canada, in fact I love it so much that I'm wearing my Banff sweatshirt. I've been all over Canada, but for so long I've wanted to visit Niagara Falls. I always considered it to be one of my bucket list items and swore that I would before I died. Finally, during Spring Break I was able to take it off the bucket list and since then have been telling everyone I know to go experience it for themselves.

This place is every photographer's dream, as it was mine. Sadly I can't upload my entire album to this article, but if I could I would. This is only one of the photos of the falls that I got from the overlook right in front of the visitors center. However, I do recommend going during summer because that's when most of the flowers around the town are in bloom. Also, more of the attractions will be open because of the warmer weather, which I will discuss later on.
2. Attractions (5 out of 5 Maple Leaves).

Other than the falls, there's a lot to do around the town. Across from my hotel were a casino and shopping mall. I didn't go inside the casino because it was for people 19 and over, sadly I was 18 so I couldn't get in. There is also a movie theatre not far from the falls where you can watch a movie on the history of the falls and then go tour the daredevil museum.
The photo above is one that I took, basically, it's a small room filled with artifacts of those who went over the falls, survivors and those who did not. There's also a road called Falls Avenue near the hotels that had food, games, and more. The visitors center at the falls also has a lot to do for all ages. However, if you want more attractions, go during the summer as those are only open during warm weather.
3. Food (5 out of 5 Maple Leaves).

The food here was amazing. The first night we went to a place called Canyon Creek Chophouse that was amazing. For breakfast the next day we had a buffet on the top of the Hilton of Niagara Falls. I don't exactly remember the other places that we ate at, but they were all amazing. My favorite was on our last night we ate in the Skylon Tower, which not only had an amazing food but an amazing view of the falls as well. Did I mention I could also see Toronto from the top as well? Also, don't forget when you go to be a true tourist and get Tim Hortons!
4. Hotels (5 out of 5 Maple Leaves).
While there aren't many hotels around the falls area on Fallsview road, the ones that are there are both large and beautiful. There are two hotels that are connected and one is the Hilton and the other is Four Points. I stayed at the Four Points by Sheraton and I loved it. Since I stayed with my family we ended up getting a two bedroom so I had my personal space and a wonderful view of the falls too. In fact, I'm pretty sure most rooms had a great view of the falls.
5. Atmosphere (5 out of 5 Maple Leaves).

The atmosphere of this place is incredible. Everyone is happy to be there and everyone is super friendly. You can walk up to just about anyone and they will start a conversation with you. Unlike my last travel review, this place is of pure relaxation. While there are fun things to do, the main point of this place is to go and enjoy the beauty and wonder of nature.
6. Overall Experience (5 out of 5 Maple Leaves).

Niagara falls will forever hold a piece of my heart. This place is a once in a lifetime experience that I will never forget for as long as I live. If you haven't gone or are still on the fence about going I highly suggest that you do. This place is full of wonders and beauty to marvel at. Go experience this beautiful place for yourself!
