Be prepared to laugh. Wear short pants, good sandals that you don't mind getting soaked. Ladies, don't bother fixing your hair for the day. Throw it up in a pony or bun and just enjoy the view. There are a lot of stairs and it's a bit slippery if you're not paying attention. This may not be fun for your little ones. But you know your child best, so have fun! We did a local tour group for the entire area and main attractions (Well worth the money spent. And for Pete's sake, plan to tip your guide if on a tour. They deserve it!).

Do it! Get a waterproof bag for your phone, or a waterproof camera. It was a blast!

Absolutely a must do on your bucket list! Standing at the base of the falls on the Hurricane Deck is amazing. You will get wet, but super refreshing!

You get to go down an elevator to the base of Niagara Falls and walk next to the falls. You can experience hurricane force winds.
