What’s included

Itinerary

Day 1 - Amtrak’s Maple Leaf to Niagara Falls

Board Amtrak's Maple Leaf at New York's Penn Station this morning and settle in for your trip north. Enjoy the amenities of Coach Class, or choose to upgrade to Business Class at an additional cost. Travel through the lovely scenery of upstate New York as you make your way to Niagara Falls. Overnight Niagara Falls.

Day 2 - Tour Niagara Falls With Your Niagara Falls Pass

Your included Niagara Falls Pass is your ticket to experiencing all the joys of this worldly wonder. The pass includes admission to five attractions plus 2-day access to the Falls Incline Railway and WEGO in-park bus. The WEGO in-park bus offers a hop-on/hop off service that connects Niagara Falls with other popular tourist areas in the city. Highlights of the included attractions are the Journey Behind the Falls that ventures 150 feet below ground to tunnels that lead to observation spots at the foot of the Falls; soar the Great Gorge in an antique cable car over the Niagara Whirlpool. Additionally, stroll along the White Water Walk to see the park's rushing Class 6 Whirlpool Rapids, and head to the Niagara Parks Power Station + Tunnel that takes you through immersive exhibits and a 2,200-foot-long tunnel with an observation deck at the river's edge. In between all the attractions of your Niagara Falls pass, take a ride on The Hornblower for a spectacular cruise that takes you as close to the rushing waters as possible. Overnight Niagara Falls.

Day 3 - Continue Sightseeing at Niagara Falls

The day is yours to continue soaking in the natural grandeur of Niagara Falls. All the amenities of the Niagara Falls Adventure Pass and WEGO bus access are still available for your use. Of course, you are welcome to join one of the following optional activities or excursions to enhance your time here:

  • Ride the Niagara SkyWheel - Step aboard a fully enclosed, climate-controlled gondola to soar 175 feet above the falls.

  • Take a Niagara Falls Helicopter Flight - Gain a fantastic perspective on American, Bridal Veil, and Canadian Horseshoe Falls from above while on this heart-pounding tour.

The trip and experiences were amazing! We had a falls view room on the 44th floor and the view of the horseshoe falls was incredible. The excursions were great. I would recommend adding the boat ride into the falls. It was well worth the extra money. The train ride seemed like it would be too long but it was not bad. It gave us some time to relax to and from visiting Niagara Falls. Two of the pictures are from our room. The other is the boat in the falls.

So glad we upgraded to the Hilton Falls view hotel. We had a wonderful view of the falls and the nightly fireworks. Also we were able to do and see so much because of the tour package that was included.

It made my first rail trip so easy. From the beginning the staff was very helpful and informative. Every item chosen was great from accommodations to activities. I will book with them for my future rail trips.
