When you're visiting the Niagara Falls, you should make sure to stick around so that you can see the Nightly Illumination. This daily event pairs the natural wonders of the falls with an amazing light show. Why not wait until dark so you can see this amazing show? It's true that there is a lot to do at Niagara Falls. It's likely that you are spending most of your day on boat rides to get close to the falls. After all, what's more fun than feeling the waterfall's mist wash over you?
Then, of course, there are all of the gift shops and museums in and around the Niagara Falls area. After watching glass sculptures being made or purchasing some great souvenirs, you may find yourself with not much to do once it gets dark outside. Luckily, you can watch the Nightly Illumination of Niagara Falls. Since this happens every night, you can even see it for every night that you're in town. Once you see it once, you'll surely want to see it again and again.
But what exactly is the Nightly Illumination. Just as it sounds, the various waterfalls that comprise Niagara Falls are lit up once it gets dark outside. This usually goes on from dusk until midnight. There are lights behind the waterfalls that not only illuminate the water, but they also change colors. Because of this, you will get to see a rainbow of colors glowing behind the curtains of water. This is truly a sight to behold.
