Want to know a secret? Then you definitely should attempt the Cave of the Winds at Niagara Falls State Parks as it is one of my favorite things to do. Taking the pedestrian bridge to Goat Island, visitors take an elevator down to Niagara Gorge that takes them to the hurricane deck where they find out that they are walking and standing beneath a fall, the Bridal Veil Fall where as it name implies leaves them with an overwhelming wind and mist that gives the feeling of a tropical storm. Don’t say we didn’t tell you!
The splendor of Niagara Falls state park and fascinating historical sites only make things much better. Every year, the park organizes fireworks shows for tourists to make their already amazing stay much more splendid. Asides all of this, basic amenities are made sure to be provided.
