Description

Travel from New York City to the US side of Niagara Falls over 2 days. Your adventure begins with a drive to the Corning Museum of Glass, where you can take an optional visit to immerse yourself in the art, history, and science of glassmaking.

Afterward, head to Watkins Glen State Park and the Finger Lakes to explore the dramatic gorge and waterfalls. Note that a visit to Watkins Glen State Park only takes place in the summer after the opening of the canyon, usually from April to October each year.

Arrive in Niagara Falls in the evening and partake in an optional night tour to experience the awe-inspiring beauty of Niagara Falls illuminated at night. If there's a fireworks show on the night you're there, enjoy a guaranteed chance to watch it. Stay overnight at a hotel nearby.

On the second day, see the wonders of Niagara Falls. Take the in-depth Niagara Falls Classic Tour (optional) to marvel at Niagara Whirlpool Park and step into history at Old Fort Niagara State Park.

Ride the Maid of the Mist boat when it's open in summer or enter the Cave of the Winds when the Maid of the Mist closes in winter to get up close to the power and beauty of Niagara Falls (both optional). After spending the day around Niagara Falls, conclude your trip with a return to New York City.

Please read carefully: If you only purchased the Maid of the Mist boat ride ticket, you will visit the attraction on your own. This option does not include the full-day roundtrip tour from/to New York City.
