I Went To Niagara Falls And I Give It 5 Out Of 5 Maple Leaves

In This Article:

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.

1. Aesthetics (5 out of 5 Maple Leaves).

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).

Sheree Collins

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!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
