Niagara Falls is a set of three huge waterfalls where a whole river pours over tall cliffs with a mighty roar. It sits on the border between New York State and Canada.
It is famous as one of the most powerful and beautiful natural wonders in the world, with millions of gallons of water thundering down every minute. People come from everywhere to feel the mist and hear the roar.
A famous boat called the Maid of the Mist carries visitors right up close to the crashing water, where everyone wears a poncho to stay dry. It is a thrilling, splashy ride.
The spray from the falls throws water droplets into the air, and on sunny days rainbows appear right over the water. At night colorful lights shine on the falls like magic.
In very cold winters, parts of the falls freeze into giant sparkling ice sculptures. The frozen mist coats the trees and railings in shining white frost.
