Always keep a light water resistant jacket and an umbrella handy. It is definitely windy all the time and if it is not raining, it could be showers from the falls and rapids that can wet you. Keep checking for your camera as water droplets on the lens may get unnoticed and may destroy many of your pictures.
Besides, try to plan your trip on weekdays or on regular weekends. Avoid long weekends as the Park can get very crowded, especially in summers. Leave a Comment

Unless you want to be screamed at by the guards, don't hang over the edge to get pictures like I did, LOL! I've been screamed at by guards at almost every place I've been to, trying to get the best shot for VT. I think I should keep a list with autographs of all the personal who have yelled at me! ;-) Believe it or not, people actually still try to go over the falls in barrels, personal floation devices or even sadly when trying to commit suicide. The water is far too rough for that kind of stuff, so don't be a showoff, just stay out of the water up top. Leave a Comment

Every time I hear about a car jacking, it's because a tourist parked on the wrong street, and then poof, gone.
However people don't hear about these things because the media covers it up. My friend got shot walking through a park and I didn't know because they never said anything about it.
3 people were shot at my job and I found out when I went to work.
I have uploaded some pictures for you to see that I'm not lying.
The streets you shouldn't go to are Peirce Avenue, and Linwood Avenue.
Highland is no longer a big problem.
There are also nice places here too, like Lasalle and Devoux (neighborhoods)
And Pine Avenue is nice too. A lot of restaurants and shops there.

If you go on the Maid in the Mist boat ride, you will get wet, so if you have anything of value with you (re: cameras and video equipment) you will want to protect those things. The boat is slippery and you should be careful not to lose your balance, particularly on the top of the boat. The thin poncho you get as part of the ride will not keep you dry. Also, if you do ride on the Mist, be sure to get there early, as long lines were starting to form, even in the early morning hours when the boat rides were first starting. With the crowds, be sure to protect belongings from pickpockets. At peak tourist times, you will be rubbing shoulders and fenders with your newfound neighbors. Leave a Comment

I am going to try and do this as close to the rules as I can so that I can get this posted.
Nobody ever said anything about Buffalo. Everyone realizes Buffalo has a lot of crime. What you don't realize is, there is just as much crime in Niagara Falls, but for some odd reason nobody knows, or talks about it.
Here maybe this will help. This is a news article I found in the back of the Buffalo News.

I know for a fact that there have been plenty of shootings that nobody knows about, not even most of the residents of the Falls.
At my job there was a triple shooting (3 people) on January 1, 2006. (New Years Day)
The press was prohibited from reporting it. There have been many times that this has happened.
Here are some other news articles that talk about the criminal activity here.
