Niagara Falls has long been referred to as a ‘Wonder of the World’ by visitors, historians, conservationists and others for hundreds of years. The awe and wonder surrounding Niagara Falls go far beyond the staggering amount of water flowing over it, the hydroelectric power it creates, or even its scenic views. Rather, what makes Niagara Falls special is that it is a natural wonder designed and existing through the grace of a higher power.


One thing is for sure - it's no surprise that Niagara Falls was named a 'top 2' place to visit in the world by Forbes!
