Niagara Falls, straddling the international border between the Canadian province of Ontario and the U.S. state of New York, are categorised by:
Every Friday-Sunday during the summer months and on special occasions, Falls Fireworks Shows add a little extra colour to the display.
~American Falls
American Falls on the American side
~Bridal Veil Falls
The smaller Bridal Veil Falls are also located on the American side, separated from the main falls by Luna Island.
~Canadian/Horseshoe Falls
Horseshoe Falls, the majority of which lies on the Canadian side of the border
From many locations, visitors can see both American Falls and Horseshoe Falls at the same time. Even at night the Falls are impressive.

History of the Falls
The first person to attempt to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel was a 63-year-old woman. Seeking fame and fortune, schoolteacher Annie Taylor loaded herself - and her cat - up in a barrel and descended over the falls in 1901. She survived.
In 1848, Niagara Falls actually stopped flowing for 30 hours when ice fields from Lake Erie jammed at the source of the river.
Marilyn Monroe visited the falls to film portions of the thriller Niagara Falls, released in 1953. Other notable visitors have included King George the V in 1939 and Princess Diana with her sons in 1991.
Niagara Falls received its reputation as the "Honeymoon Capital of the World" when Aaron Burr's daughter-Theodosia-chose a Niagara Falls honeymoon in 1801. She was followed up by Jerome Bonaparte-Napoleon's brother-in 1804 and, thus, a tradition was born. Now over 50,000 Niagara honeymoons are arranged each year.
