The absolute best way to enjoy the falls up close is from the American side, on Goat Island. It’s a beautiful state park, very relaxed, beautiful nature, walking trails right by and above the falls, the “Three Sisters” islands – you can walk across bridges right over the rapids. The Canadian side is very commercial, very busy… this is much nicer, esp. on Chol Hamoed. Take a mini BBQ and a mini Sukkah and enjoy!! I’ve done the Tunnels, and the Cave of the Winds there is way better. You’re mamash up against the Falls! One tip: take a change of clothes, from the waist down, for everyone. You get these cool sandals, and a plastic poncho, but you still get soaked! (PS.If you’re going from the Canadian side, don’t forget your passports!)
