  Niagara Falls has two distinct faces: the Canadian, touristy side and the low-key, more family-friendly New York side. Both sides offer spectacular views, and the New York side has a huge state park, a visitors' center, and the Cave of the Winds, where you can walk underneath the Bridal Veil Falls. A summer trolley takes you to the Niagara Gorge Discovery Center, where you can take a virtual ride inside the gorge and climb an outdoor rock wall.
