The Best Birthday Ideas in Niagara Falls (2025)

You’ve heard the name, you’ve seen the pictures, and you’ve definitely marked it on your bucket list: Niagara Falls is one of North America’s most breathtaking natural features and a destination that everyone should try to visit at least once in their life.

The group of three waterfalls is located at the southern end of Niagara Gorge and spans the border between the province of Ontario in Canada and the state of New York in the United States.

Now, you should — of course — check out the falls in all of their glory, but there are also plenty of other things to do in Niagara Falls for your birthday besides seeing the waterfalls, from firework cruises and wine tastings to the aquarium, a casino, and much more!
