This viewpoint is probably the best you will find on the US side of the Niagara Falls. If you are going to the other paid attractions on Goat Island, you must definitely walk to this viewpoint! It gives you a very close view of the Horseshoe Bend and you can see Canada’s skyline as well. Otherwise, it is a very chill park to walk around - a good way to spend a sunny afternoon
Beautiful location to see the US side of horseshoe falls. Very nice park with an easy approach to the falls. Lots of room to get fantastic pictures of the falls, boats, oh and rainbows. Amazing to see how much water flows over the falls each second. It's a must see.
First time to Niagara Falls. I was blown away by the falls, the force of the water, and the mist. It was very cool to be able to see this sight. After seeing it I can see why it has been such a key spot in American history. I can imagine that it would be much busier in the summer time. It was nice to visit when it was less busy and easy to get a parking spot.
Terrapin Point was the last destination I went when I traveled to Niagara Falls. I watched the 10pm fireworks from this observation point. At 10pm, it was definitely a popular/busy spot for watching fireworks. There wasn’t a great view of the falls, however… there was a great view of the fireworks. The lights that cast on the falls were amazing… and it was extremely beautiful.
If you like to take pictures… it was a great spot for taking pictures of you, friends, and/or family.
We came to visit the falls after our wedding in December. Of course it was very very cold it's December. The trails were closed due to being to Icy. All the little shops are closed as well. It snowed during our stay there which made the surrounding area of the falls snowy and ice covered looked beautiful. I'm sure if you come during warmer times it's a beautiful experience.
Wow… the Mother Nature is exceptional. We had a great walk around the park. Loved every bit of our experiences. Nice place for a family tour. We went there from Philadelphia for a weekend trip. It was quite a crazy drive. However, totally worth the journey.
Great vantage point to see the falls, grounds were kept clean and plenty of walking paths to get close to the edge.
Best location to get a view of the Horseshoe Falls from the American side, but it's not great. View from the Canadian side is better. Large open space, but it's usually pretty busy. Requires a bit of a walk from the parking lot so it might be difficult for less mobile people but it's all paved and accessible.
Absolutely incredible stay at the Butler House! My boyfriend and I came up to Niagara as a quick weekend trip before the start of the hectic holiday season and we were highly impressed by the house, its proximity to the state park, and the amazing br
Awesome drinks, great prices, and very kind bartenders! I ordered a cucumber jalapeño margarita which was delicious and made with all fresh ingredients. Our bartender gave us great recommendations on where to go to get away from the touristy Niagara

The power of the water blows you away. While the other falls may be larger this is equally as impressive. I read a sign that it said 75000 gallons per second go over these falls. Incredible to be there. Even better in the fall with the colorful folia
Nice way to give recognition to a very well renowned scientist that shaped modern world so vastly. The various attractions around Niagara Falls will espouse on the contributions of Nikola Tesla, so be sure to read more about him while touring Niagara
I've had wings from all over WNY, and all over the US... I can honestly say, without lying, that their wings are my favorite. Consistently perfect. Not rubbery, not chewy, crunchy, enough sauce, great flavor... I can find no fault. Bravo. I've been r
Such a unique experience walking around this island!! We went when the weather was a bit bad so it was pretty empty. Really good signage, lots of lookout point, plenty of space, good accessible trails.
Took around 2 hours ish with frequent stops and
We went to Niagara Falls on the NY side to celebrate our wedding anniversary and would highly recommend it!
The parking was very accessible and close to the walking trails, and the entire park was very well maintained. It was patrolled by several ra
Eggs Benedict was phenomenal. Customer service was outstanding. Very busy little restaurant but worth the wait if you have to wait, I was seated quite quickly at the bar. FYI- cash only. It will be my go to breakfast restaurant.
My daughter and I traveled to Buffalo for the AFC playoffs and came across this place because it was close to the hotel the day of the game. As soon as we walked in in our Bengals gear they booed us. But there were smiles behind those boos and simpl
