No Football Match Today? Here's the perfect way to spend your off-days around New York City.

Swap the city for roaring water on this two-day small-group escape from New York to Niagara Falls. The drive upstate eases you in, with optional stops at the world-renowned Corning Museum of Glass and, in the warmer months, the gorge trails and waterfalls of Watkins Glen State Park in the Finger Lakes. You reach Niagara in the evening for the in-depth night tour, when the American, Bridal Veil, and Horseshoe Falls glow under colored lights. After a night near the falls, day two is yours to choose: add the optional Classic Tour for Whirlpool Park, the Cave of the Winds, and either the famous Maid of the Mist boat ride in summer or historic Old Fort Niagara in the cooler season, before the ride back to New York.

Itinerary

Duration: 2 days (approximately)
    Day 1

    New York -- Corning -- Niagara Falls(Scenic Stops and Niagara Falls Night Tour)

    4 stops
  • New York City (Pass by)

    We set off from New York in the morning and head upstate, watching the skyline give way to rolling countryside as we make our way toward Niagara Falls. Day 1: New York → Corning Museum of Glass → Watkins Glen State Park + Finger Lakes → Niagara Falls Night View In-depth Tour [Ram Island & Moon Island; Horseshoe Falls, Bridal Veil Falls & American Falls]

  • 1
    Corning Museum of Glass

    Corning Museum of Glass (optional, 90 min): If you’d like, stop at the world-famous Corning Museum of Glass, the heart of the American glass industry. Some 100,000 pieces fill the galleries, from colorful artworks to crystal-clear sculptures, with live glassmaking demonstrations that turn a roadside break into something memorable.

    1 hour 30 minutes Admission ticket not included
  • 2
    Watkins Glen State Park

    Watkins Glen State Park + Finger Lakes (optional, 90 min, seasonal): When the park is open for the season, you can detour into Watkins Glen, the “Millennium Valley” in the Finger Lakes region. Its roughly two-mile gorge trail winds past more than a dozen waterfalls carved by glaciers and streams. The surrounding Finger Lakes, fourteen long and narrow lakes set side by side like fingers, round out the scenery.

    Niagara Falls

    Niagara Falls Night View In-depth Tour: By evening you arrive at Niagara for the night tour, “one park, two islands, three falls.” Heading deep into the park, you take in multi-angle views from Ram Island and Moon Island while Horseshoe Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and American Falls glow under shifting colored lights. When a fireworks show is scheduled that evening, we make sure you’re there to see it. Note: Watkins Glen + Finger Lakes is a seasonal summer stop, generally available May to October once the park officially opens. Please refer to the park’s official website for exact dates; when the park is closed, this stop is not available.

    Niagara Falls -- New York(Niagara Falls and Thrilling Experiences)

    Niagara Falls State Park

    Add the Classic Tour to get up close to the falls. At Whirlpool Park you look down on a 125-foot-deep natural whirlpool, formed where the river makes a sharp turn and the rapids churn back on themselves. At the Cave of the Winds, an elevator drops you into the gorge and onto walkways at the foot of the falls, close enough to feel the spray. In summer the tour finishes with the Maid of the Mist, the storied boat sailing since 1846 that carries you right into the misty basin below the falls. In the cooler season, when the boat is closed, it swaps in Old Fort Niagara State Park, a historic fort at the mouth of the Niagara River with sweeping views over Lake Ontario. Note: the Maid of the Mist usually closes in winter and is not visited during that period; the winter itinerary visits Old Fort Niagara State Park instead.

    From there it’s a comfortable drive back to New York, wrapping up the trip with the sights and sounds of Niagara still fresh in mind.
