Niagara Falls Family Adventure: 5 Must-See Attractions with the Niagara Parks Adventure Plus Pass

September 7, 2024

niagara-falls-family-vacation

Our recent trip to Niagara Falls was an unforgettable family experience. The awe-inspiring power of the falls, combined with the numerous kid-friendly attractions, made it a perfect destination for our family. One of the best decisions we made was to get Niagara Parks Adventure Plus Passes, which gave us access to several incredible attractions while saving us time and money. Here are our top five must-see attractions for families visiting Niagara Falls with the Adventure Plus Pass:

1. Journey Behind the Falls

Journey Behind the Falls offers a unique perspective of the majestic Horseshoe Falls. We took an elevator down 125 feet to tunnels leading to observation decks situated directly behind the cascading water. Feeling the mist on our faces and hearing the roar of the falls was an exhilarating experience that left a lasting impression on the whole family.

2. Niagara Parks Power Station and The Tunnel

This attraction was a hit with our kids! We explored the historic power station, learning about the fascinating history of hydroelectric power generation at Niagara Falls. The highlight was walking through the newly opened tunnel, which leads to a breathtaking viewing platform at the base of the falls. In fact, I think we may have nailed our holiday card photo there and you get a preview at the top of this post!

3. White Water Walk

The White Water Walk provided an exciting adventure along the Niagara River’s powerful rapids. The boardwalk offered stunning views of the turbulent waters and the surrounding gorge. It was an excellent opportunity to appreciate the raw power of nature while enjoying a safe and accessible experience.

4. Whirlpool Aero Car

The Whirlpool Aero Car was a thrilling ride that took us soaring above the Niagara Whirlpool. The antique cable car offered panoramic views of the swirling waters and the surrounding landscape. Our kids loved the feeling of floating high above the gorge, and it was a memorable experience for everyone.

5. Butterfly Conservatory

After all the excitement of the falls, the Butterfly Conservatory offered a peaceful escape. We wandered through a tropical paradise filled with thousands of colorful butterflies. The kids loved watching the butterflies flutter around them, and it was a beautiful and educational experience for all ages.

Our trip to Niagara Falls was truly magical, and the Niagara Parks Adventure Plus Pass made it even more enjoyable. The pass not only saves families money but also allowed us to skip the ticket lines at each attraction and maximize our time exploring. If you’re planning a family trip to Niagara Falls, I highly recommend purchasing the Adventure Plus Pass and checking out these five must-see attractions. You can pick up the pass here. Create lasting memories with your family at one of the world’s most spectacular natural wonders!

A huge thank you to Niagara Parks for partnering with us on this post. My opinions, as always, are my own.

What it’s Like to Have a Miscarriage

If Holly Golightly crashed a Griswold family Chris If Holly Golightly crashed a Griswold family Christmas, it would look exactly like the Holly Jolly Bar at West End Johnnie’s. 👑✨ 

Alex and I escaped for a date night and this place is an absolute fever dream of festive kitsch in the best way possible. 

From the “Keep the change ya filthy animal” neon glow to sipping spiked eggnog out of a Clark Griswold moose mug in my faux fur, the high-low glam energy was off the charts.

The menu is packed with shareable bites and the drink menu is basically a love letter to our favorite holiday movies. 

Leave the kids at home, put on your favorite sparkly skirt, and go get festive.

Found the Main Character of Gnomevember. 🍄✨ We ma Found the Main Character of Gnomevember. 🍄✨

We make the trip out to the New England Botanic Garden every year for this, but the artistry this season is on another level. 

I was completely mesmerized by “The Storyteller” gnome. Between the vintage library card detail, the spines of my favorite fairytales, and the tiny signpost pointing to Narnia and the Hundred Acre Woods I could have stared at him all afternoon.

I know we’re all supposed to look for the Golden Gnome, but if you’re taking the kids (or just going for a highly aesthetic autumn walk), you have to hunt The Storyteller down. 

Gnomevember is @NewEnglandBG until November 30. 

Tell me—if you could follow his signpost to any fictional world, where are you buying a one-way ticket to? 📖✈️

✨ Save this post for your next weekend outing and tag a friend you’d love to take with you!

We took the girls to the Maverick Kings exhibition at the @mfaboston, and let me tell you—it is serving major drama, gold, and ancient history, and we were absolutely here for it. But let’s be real: navigating a world-class art museum with kids requires a solid game plan and probably an extra shot of espresso. ☕️

I’ve put together my ultimate chic survival guide in this carousel so you can conquer Egypt’s golden age without losing your cool. 

From pre-gaming the history before you leave the house to letting them channel their inner art detectives at the hieroglyphics station, there is so much magic to unpack here. 

And yes, the whole thing is beautifully stroller-friendly. Roll right on through, mamas. 🖤

Swipe through for all 7 of my street-smart tips to make this a seamless, stylish adventure. The exhibit closes December 6th, so consider this your sign to grab those timed-entry tickets before they’re history! ⏳

Looking back at footage from our last Disney on Ice adventure has me so excited for round two! There is just nothing quite like the sheer magic of seeing their eyes light up when the music starts and the skaters take the ice.

That’s why we are gifting tickets to see Disney on Ice: Spotlight Magic when it skates into Boston this February vacation (February 17-21, 2027)! It’s the ultimate way to break up the winter blues, skip the toy clutter, and make memories they’ll talk about all year.

Whether you’re tucking tickets into a stocking or wrapping up a sparkly envelope under the tree, it’s a total home run. Tickets are on sale now—head to the link in my bio to lock in your seats @tdgarden before the best spots disappear! ⛸️👑💫

School might have been out today, but mama’s class School might have been out today, but mama’s classroom was wide open. 🏛️✨

We took full advantage of the day off and headed to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston to check out Maverick Kings: Three Visionary Pharaohs of Egypt’s Golden Age.

If you have little ones, this exhibit is such a home run. The girls were completely captivated—especially channeling some serious ancient girl power learning about powerful queens like Hatshepsut - who actually claimed the title Pharaoh, trying out the interactive gallery prompts, and spending forever at the hands-on hieroglyphics station. 

Let’s just say Arielle has been utterly obsessed with her Egyptology book ever since we walked out the doors! Having my mom along (our resident Egyptophile who has actually stood among the pyramids!) made watching them explore 3,000 years of gold and royal history even more magical.

And the fun photo booth at the end was the icing on the cake!

Proof that the best learning happens when you get out and make it an adventure. Maverick Kings is on view at the MFA through December 6th—definitely add it to your family bucket list before it’s gone!
