Today, we bring you one of the top things to do in Niagara Falls: the Cave of the Winds. At this thrilling tourist attraction, you’ll get front row seats to witness the immense power of the Bridal Veil Falls.

Experience the falls with all your senses at the Cave of the Winds observation platforms. A series of wooden walkways will lead you to the Hurricane Deck where you’ll feel the rush of the plunging water as you stand mere feet away from the waterfall.

Being next to the Niagara Falls is an adrenaline-filled experience. You will feel as if you’re in a tropical storm, with winds blowing up to 68 miles per hour and plenty of water splashing around. Don’t forget to wear your poncho and some weather-appropriate footwear because you are guaranteed to get wet.

Soak up the experience at this one-of-a-kind tourist attraction at the New York side of Niagara Falls on Goat Island. In addition to the Hurricane Deck, the Cave of the Winds also has an observation deck 150 feet away from the base of the falls if you prefer to observe from a less intense distance.
