It's Official, Niagara Falls is One of Canada's Seven Wonders

Niagara Falls, ON (PRWEB) June 15, 2007 -- Recently voted as one of Canada's Seven Wonders, Niagara Falls offers more than you could imagine this summer.

"This is absolutely amazing," said an excited Becky Puddicombe, the 17-year-old Westlane Secondary School student who first made the case for her city's inclusion as a seven wonders on CBC Radio in April.

"The thunder from the water that you hear and feel when you stand by the Falls is so wonderful," said Edna Mason, a 79-year-old Niagara Falls native. "It is breathtaking, beautiful, and marvelous. And I am so happy."

From this world-renowned attraction, to world-class performances, there is something for every member of the family to enjoy in Niagara Falls.

Everybody loves Marineland and the entire family will too. Back for another season, this unique amusement park allows you to get up close and personal with all time favorite marine friends.

Visit Friendship Cove, the world's largest whale habitat and meet Marineland's resident killer whales, feed and touch a Beluga whale at Arctic Cove or catch a live show where the stars are dolphins, sea lions and walruses. Thrill seekers will love the Sky Screamer, the world's largest triple tower ride as well as the Dragon Mountain Roller Coaster, the world's largest steel coaster.

No visit to Niagara Falls, Ontario would be complete without a trip on the Maid of the Mist. A must-see experience for visitors since it began operating in 1846, the Maid of the Mist counts royalty, heads of state and movie stars among its passengers. Step aboard one of the Maid's diesel-powered boats and travel to the base of Niagara Falls where 6 million cubic feet of water hurdles over the edge, crashing below.

To get even closer to the awesome power of Niagara Falls, visit Journey Behind the Falls - a Niagara Parks favorite.

Here adventurers take a trip below and behind the thundering falls, standing in the mist as water rushes over the Horseshoe Falls 13 stories above. It's an awe-inspiring view, but be warned! This Niagara Parks adventure is a wet one!

Be sure to catch one of the many shows offered in Niagara Falls.
Cirque Niagara's Avaia takes you on an epic odyssey where Cirque artistry is fused with imagination and some of the greatest equestrians in the world. As horses move in perfectly timed dressage, performers combine acrobatics and dance to astound the audience. This fusion of Cirque artistry and theatrical horses is unlike anything else, and has to be seen to be believed.

Greg Frewin, International Grand Champion of Magic, brings his Las Vegas-style show to Niagara Falls.
