Niagara Falls, North America’s most spectacular waterfall, is the most popular natural feature in Canada. Thousands of visitors come to see the falls every year, with many taking advantage of a boat trip to get closer to this amazing natural phenomenon. The town that is not far from the waterfall is also called Niagara Falls and is home to a large casino, for that reason it is considered to be like a small version of Las Vegas.
