catch a glimpse of the beautiful American + Bridal Veil (?) Falls.
The best time to visit (in my humble opinion) is from mid May to mid September. I guess you can also visit the Falls at other times of the year but it can get very cold, rainy, snowing, windy.... see what I mean? :-)) So, it's better to stick to late-spring to early-autumn time.
I was told that late September to October can also be an excellent time to visit because of the beautiful fall foliage. Hey, seeing the trees around you change to an orangy color can be very spectacular indeed.

Save those old photos!
by Don_Wright
Going there with my parents when I was a few years old! This photo was taken by my dad (with one of those classic old Polaroid cameras) and that's my mom and her two boys! Me on the left, my younger brother, and my mom! The expression on my little brother's face is priceless! I wonder if he was scared? So see, I started my travels early in life! I hope you get a kick out of the photo!
Prevention against nature
by Faiza-Ifrah
I strongly recommend that some members of the entourage have backpacks. Clothing will depend upon season, but light water-resistant jackets in summer will come in handy. I also recommend comfortable hiking shoes even though my daughter tends to hike even in her party shoes. You may need painkillers after a hectic day of hiking and enjoying other activities in the park. Also, I recommend carrying hand sanitizer, insect repellent, sun screens, and wet wipes. I highly recommend a water resistant camera. Keep an eye on the lens. You got to have lens cleaning equipment with you. Carry loads of water bottles, sun shades and caps to protect against wind and dust.

they have all scuba equipment you need on hand. you can test out your equipment in their indoor pool. just feet from the pool is the upper niagara, where their boat is docked.
when i went i managed to pull about 10 bottles of the bottom of the river. it was awsome.
many people see the niagara from above the water, but not many from below.
