ATTRACTIONS
[Watkins Glen State Park]
Watkins Glen State Park - is the most famous of the Finger Lakes State Parks. Within two miles, the glen's stream descends 400 feet past 200-foot cliffs, generating 19 waterfalls along its course. The gorge path winds over and under waterfalls and through the spray of Cavern Cascade. Rim trails overlook the gorge. It’s a perfect park for photography
[Secret Caverns]
A 103-step staircase with various layers of limestone deposited faithfully by the prehistoric ocean is the only way in or out. Many of the caverns in this area were formed largely during the last Ice Age about 38,000-14,000 years ago. “For thousands of years mineral laden water has been precipitating on the walls, ceiling, and floor of the caverns, leaving behind great deposits of golden calcite. When these deposits hang from the ceiling like icicles, they are called stalactites. When they build up from the floor, they are called stalagmites. And when you see calcite dripping down over the walls or covering the rocks, that is called flowstone.” – You will have a wonderful time with all the views mentioned!
[IMAX Movie]
This movie, which guests will view on an impressive 45-foot-wide screen, tells the history of human interaction with the falls, focusing largely on the "daredevils" who have crossed, boated, and even jumped off them.
[Niagara Falls Illumination]
For more than 75 years, visitors to Niagara Falls have been able to enjoy a nighttime illumination of the impressive American and Horseshoe falls. Every night, at dusk, visitors can experience the falls lit in the colors of the rainbow.

Wonderful trip! Awesome fall! Nice guide! . This trip was wonderful and even beyond our expectation, not only because of the amazing falls that expressed a lot, but also this well-arranged trip that really needs you to worry anything. Although I had taken lots of pictures of the Niagara Falls, the photos cannot embody such wonderful power of Niagara Falls even of its one-tenth! Niagara Falls was so brilliant and I will remember every step I have mad in Niagara Falls!I recommended this tour!

I recommended this tour! Niagara Falls did not change anymore since I had been there 3 years ago, it was still lovely. Although it was actually gathered plenty of tourists even at there, but it was worth to see the falls at least once whenever in the daytime or at night.The tour guide was excellent and knowledgeable and patient. I will memory this experience and recommend it to my family and friends.
