Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada: Niagara Falls at Night

We left Canada's Wonderland and headed south to see Niagara Falls all lit up at night.

We were exhausted (we left the park about 8pm, got caught in traffic related to a crash, stopped for dinner...) and finally made it here around 11:30pm. I think the lights turn off at midnight (please correct if this is wrong) so I was really happy we made it. We only stayed for a few minutes (see: exhausted) but it was wonderful.

We have both been to Niagara Falls before, before we knew each other, so this was just a nice nature-related thing to see between the coaster parks. I hadn't been here at night and hadn't been on the Canadian side. I think it is worth it for both.

The area is super touristy (kind of like mini-Vegas, big hotel resorts and casinos) which these photos don't show. I think it would be fun to come back for a weekend or something sometime and get the full experience. Eric has taken the Maid of the Mist boat ride near the falls, but I haven't, and it looks fun (and very wet).

You will probably get wet viewing the falls from above, too. I was careful not to let mist get on my camera lens.
