Advantages: Falls are breathtaking

Disadvantages: Resort itself is very tacky

My husband and I were recently lucky enough to go on a tour of Canada. We stopped in Niagara Falls for a few nights and it was one of the highlights of our stay.

First of all, I have to warn you, the resort of Niagara itself is very, very, very tacky. Think Blackpool (no offence mean't - who doesn't love Blackpool for it's tackiness?). It is filled with coffee shops, fast food restaurants and arcades. Strangely enough the falls is right slap-bang in the middle of it!

The resort really doesn't matter as the falls themselves are trully breathtaking. If you do go for a visit don't miss out on the 'Maid of the Mist' boat trip. You donne a plastic hooded poncho, climb aboard the boat and sail right up to the falls. This was the highlight of our holiday. We got drenched, but it was so worth it! We also went on Journey behind the Falls. This isn't for people scared of small confined spaces as you actually go through small caves behind the falls. It was a really different experience.

You can even go for a helicopter ride above the falls which I was told was fantastic.

Make sure you stick around for the evening as they light the falls up in different colours and do a fantastic firework display, one of the best I've ever seen. It was a truly magical ending to a magical day.

Summary: You wont be disappointed by the falls - they are truly breathtaking
