European Reacts to NIAGARA FALLS for the First Time (SPEECHLESS) 

I'm a proud channel supporter and was born and lived in Niagara Falls, NY for years before moving to the Phoenix, Arizona area. Love your channel!

Local here, Buffalo is literally twenty minutes away so they were planning a Buffalo food tour, definitely worth the detour

2. The best view is from the Canadian side. Unreal at night.

Niagara Falls is about 400+ (6 -7 hour drive) miles away from New York City. It's on the other side of the state by Buffalo, New York

The caves behind/under the falls is also quite awe-inspiring.

I have just recently started watching video reactions of Europeans reacting to places in America. Watching your awe and admiration of the USA's natural beauty has re-opened my eyes to how lucky we are here, and how lucky we are that the Government has put a system in place to preserve the important natural places for everyone.

Flying back from California, we were high enough to see the mist from Niagara Falls from 500 miles away.

As a Canadian who lives 20 minutes from Niagara Falls, they didn’t show a very good range of the falls at all. Respectfully the Canadian Horseshoe Falls is much larger, grander and has the most water velocity coming down the falls. The Canadian side has dozens of hotels, award winning gardens, butterfly conservatory, a ton of restaurants, arcades, speed car racing, haunted houses, clubs, mini golf, The Sky Wheel ride, multiple candy stores, casinos and more… you should do a video on our side! Americans come here all year long.

New York City to Niagra Falls...about 400 miles away. This is America. Everything I big, including New York State.

The Maid of the Mist boat tour is absolutely fantastic, and worth every dime!! Also, seeing the falls at night when they light them up with colored lights, plus the fireworks are great.

I love Niagara Falls. The Canadian side is the best. The energy in the air (negative ions) is incredible. Well worth the visit.

We live on an island about 4 miles south of the Falls on Grand Island. While the view is amazing from the Canadian side, and you can now walk behind the Falls, the US side offers a huge park, hiking trails, picnic tables, and access to stand right next to 3 falls! We go throughout the year. It is awe inspiring.

new york city and New york state are different in scale, and long island where the city is ,is oceanside and the falls in niagra is inland on the other side of the state

I’m an hour from Niagara Falls in NY and I go probably every other weekend. Never gets old to sit and watch for a couple hours listening to music and reading.

I have lived in New York State for 70 years and have been to Niagara Falls numerous times. Born and raised in the central part of the state and always amazed by the beauty of the whole state......rivers, lakes, farmlands, wineries, mountains, snow, etc.. But, we don't have deserts, oh well. I have been under the falls on the Canadian side. It was so fun. You need to learn more about the state and not just NY City. Both parts are great, but so very different!

So many foreigners only think of New York as New York City, but it’s so much more. I grew up on Long Island NY in a town on the shore of the bay and the Atlantic Ocean 15 minutes away. I’m talking clambakes, deep sea fishing, surfing, and sailing.

The view from the Canadian side is the best. Niagara Falls is all the way across the state, several hours drive. The explanation of why "so much water" is that this is the outlet for the Great Lakes.

I would LOVE to visit Niagara Falls. On the Canadian side, too. It's one of the natural wonders of the world.

The distance between Niagara Falls in New York and Central Park in New York City is 410 miles. To put that into perspective, the distance between Lisbon Portugal and Madrid Spain is 390 miles

"NOTHING ON ME IS DRY RIGHT NOW".... that's something i haven't heard a girl say in quite some time

The falls are even beautiful in the middle of cold winter. The base freezes at the falls. Fabulous!!! And the Maid of the Mist boat ride is great.

Shout out from Niagara Falls! I can hear the falls at night from our house. Millions of people visit but locals tend to almost forget it's there 😅. If you visit do your homework to check out the surrounding places of interest. Alot to see and do, but try to avoid the tourist traps. Buffalo has some of the most beautiful architecture , museums and be sure to visit the Aquarium of Niagara and Buffalo Zoo. Come feel the mist...❤

I went with my husband and father in law to the falls on the Canadian side in 2017, it's beautiful and you can feel the energy of the water. We also went to see the rapids and under the falls in the tunnel. I also took a picture with a Nikola Tesla statue, they have one on each side. An amazing experience highly recommended.

i live 20 min from here and no matter how many times i see it its still beautiful.

Interesting Note : The US Falls will be dewatered in 2024, so that the bridges leading to Goat Island can be repaired. The flow over the American Falls will be diverted to the Canadian Falls.

The falls are spectacular at night with the different color lights. They are also awesome during winter when they actually freeze.

I've lived in Buffalo for most of my life. I can't believe how many people I know that have never been. It's 20 minutes away. I was there for the 5oth time last weekend. Nice vid.

I've been to Niagara Falls once, when visiting a friend in Buffalo. We went over to the Canadian side for better views, and also rode on the Maid of the Mist. Really beautiful and awesome. My grandfather was an electrical/mechanical engineer and worked with Tesla on the power station there.

I live about 20 miles from Niagara Falls, and my favorite spot is near the tip of Goat Island, where there is a pedestrian bridge. From the bridge, if you look upstream, what you see is a lovely, babbling stream in the woods, people might be wading in it. I have a photo of my grandmother from around 1920 wading in the river around that spot. Turn around, and it's the full might of Niagara Falls.

One of my favorite memories is when my 17 year old daughter was with me on a trip to Ontario to pick up a puppy. I had been to the Falls a number of times but had never ridden The Maid of the Mist. There’s a kind of energy around the Falls. It’s exhilarating, somehow cleansing. Maybe it’s because the sheer magnitude of falling water humbles you and takes you out of yourself. I don’t have a scientific explanation but it’s very real. If you go near the Falls, do go experience them. And while the boat trip is expensive, it is so worth it. You’re no longer SEEING Niagara Falls, but part of them. The boat takes you so near you are almost IN the Falls. My lovely daughter, at 17, concerned with appearance and a sort of mildly bored dignity, soaked to the skin, hair and makeup sacrificed to the Falls, eyes glowing, filled with awe, was a beautiful sight. Caution: After the Maid of the Mist ride, you will be all wet. Plan for that. The ride should be called the Maid of the Drenching.

For a lot of Americans Niagara Falls is considered a top pick for just married couples on their honeymoons. So much fun to go there for my wife and I! It was beautiful. This is why Americans don't travel outside their country as much as Europeans do; we are both 69 and still haven't seen all of this country yet!

They missed the Three Sisters Islands, which are off Goat Island above the Horseshoe Falls. You can get some great views of the rapids in the upper Niagara River from there.

I've been there on the Canadian side during winter and it's a winter wonderland! The spray from the falls immediately turns to snow and it's amazing! Incredibly beautiful! While standing near the edge to look over you can feel a pulling sensation and it can scare the he'll out of you if not prepared!

Oh, yes, the Oregon coast is amazing. It’ll blow your mind.

Andre, Niagara Falls are in Buffalo, NY. Buffalo, being the birthplace of Buffalo BBQ sauce. I was there in 1987 as a 12 year old kid. I'm 50 now, but I remember moments from that trip like it was yesterday. That boat trip down into the river part is called "Maid of the Mists" and we rode it as well. There's a running joke on there and it's "Hey you in the blue poncho!" We stayed in a campground on the Canadian side just a few miles up the road from the built up area there.

New York is a big state, your trip will 400 miles over forest and farmland. Last week we flew over the falls at about 10,000’ . Even impressive then. I was there when they turned the American Falls were turned off for rock work, and also when it was frozen. The falls themselves are only 12,000 years old and a product of the last ice ages as are the Great Lakes.

Yes, that is sea spray from the water fall. Sending much love from America!

I spent two days on the Canadian side with European relatives. It was much more fun than I expected. I highly recommend a visit.

I'm from New York, an hour north of NYC and let me tell you, it's one of the most beautiful places. The Hudson Valley is carved into the Catskill mountains, we have beautiful state parks, ice caves, and the Hudson River to boat on. Go further and you have skiing, hiking, lakes, mountains and waterfalls. NY is so much more than NYC, even if it is a great city. There's a few good videos of Minnewasja State Park, Sam's Point and Awosting Falls that are my go to mountain spot. But the Adirondack Mountains is one of the largest undeveloped woodlands in the US and they are Amazing for hiking, skiing, camping, etc.

I live pretty close to this in Erie, PA like less than a 2 hour drive away and have gone many times and the Canadian side is MILES better. It’s like an actual tourist destination while the New York side is just like a normal scenic overlook

I lived in Buffalo for 5 years. We were 10 minutes from the Canadian side of the falls. Its a beautiful place to visit. We went every weekend when we lived there. The American side isn't as pretty as the Canadian side to me. It's worth crossing the border for. Seeing horseshoe falls is beautiful. That's where the falls begin.

If you are a United States, veteran that is retired or service-connected, retired veteran you get into all the national parks, free of charge. Thank you for your honesty videos. I really am enjoying your contacts. I have a new subscriber you came up on my algorithm and I really enjoyed your appreciation for America.

Great video Andre!! I saw Niagara Falls in 2016… in the winter and the falls were actually FROZEN! An incredible sight! That does not happen often!!

I am an American. The Canadian Niagara Falls experience is much better than the American side.

I live about 20 minutes from the Falls in NY. Niagara Falls is my zen place.

I live in Buffalo! About 15 minutes from the falls!❤

Best view of Niagara Falls is from the Canadian side! We live in Pennsylvania and it took us about 9 hours driving time to get there!

Niagara Falls is amazing ! I saw it from the Canadian side with my husband. So fun riding the Maid of the Mist. Most of the large buildings across the water are hotels and that tall thim tower has a restaurant on top that ROTATES !!!

Most of New York State is rural and pretty. New York City and Long Island are heavily populated. But if you drive 50 miles out of New York City, it becomes very rural, and you will come across small cities from time to time. Because it is close to Canada, winters can be cold and snowy.

At night you need to be on the Canadian side. The lights are so much better to look at. You never forget Niagara Falls!!

I thought these two did a great job. Enjoyed it! Thank you! ❤

They do fireworks also during the summer it’s amazing 🤩

If you’re going to see Niagara Falls, you have to go to Canada. They have the ultimate view. Luckily I was in Toronto on business and got to see the falls from Canada. Incredible.

Great reaction Andre, this was a fun video by A&K! Looking forward to more!

I’ve visited Niagara Falls 6 times it is amazing

Loved this video and YES, Oregon videos all day long‼️

I visited there two years ago! It's an amazing sight. It's so exciting just to be there. The noise from all that water falling is so loud. The lights in the water falls at night are beautiful!

For many decades of the 1900s, Niagara Falls was THE honeymoon destination. In fact, when my parents married in Atlanta in the 1960s, they planned to go there, but got snowed in just a couple of hours north of Atlanta.

Andre, this place has got to be on your bucket list when you come to the USA. I did the Maid of the Mist boat tour and IT'S DEFINITELY WORTH THE $$$ !!! I still have my plastic poncho almost 40 years later !! GO THERE ANDRE !!

Sorry for commenting twice. Go to the Canadian side - they definitely have the better view of the horseshoe falls. The walkway along the falls is amazing - you're very close to the rushing water and you can see and feel the power. Also, you can go down into the rock and see the water rushing past. You will quickly come to understand the power of nature.

It’s still hard to believe that people used to go over the falls in wooden barrels. And they actually believed that they would be fine! I don’t remember the numbers but very few (if any) survived

If you visit Niagara Falls, 1) stay on the Canada side (more to do, better hotels, better views, cleaner). 2) Maid of the Mist and the deck are must dos, but so are the jet boats! These might have been the most fun we had on the trip.

Check out the Whirlpool Jet Boats, they take you through the rapids below the falls. In Lewiston NY is where the boat takes off.

Americans: We saw the Canadian boat and it had like 50 max people on it. Everybody can spread out and just enjoy it. So, we kind of wish we had gone over to Canada so we can go on the less busy boat but that's okay . European Reacts: Nah, I'm going with the American one. Canadian viewers, I love my Canadian viewers. Calm down. Pretty hilarious in terms of your American fetish. Canadian viewers? Calm down. Really? No skin off our back. Go to America. Take the American boat. Spend your whole time on the American side. Go to the park! LOL But please don't complain about how it sucks on the American side and wish you had gone to Canada, LOL

I live in Buffalo and visit Niagara falls all the time! To anyone from out of town who comes to visit Niagara falls, definitely check out the Niagara Power Authority! Its not as exciting, but its a completely FREE tour of the massive hydroelectric dam where they generate all the power for the US side. Its quite unbelievable how massive it is in person.

New York is the Empire State for a reason. The Adirondack Park, where Lake Placid is located, is larger than many national parks combined. Really, Another of Nature's Beauty along the New York - Canadian Borders are the Thousand Islands, where Lake Ontario feeds into the St Lawrence River in New York State's North Country.

The falls are on the US side, but the vest views of them are from the Canadian side. It’s one of those things that pictures and videos don’t even do it justice. There is a lot of tacky touristy stuff there which I wish wasn’t, it would be even better if it was all completely natural and protected. But still amazing

I have been to Niagara Falls 5 times in my lifetime and each trip is spectacular.

I grew up in South Georgia…mostly. I was a military brat so I had lived in multiple places while I was in elementary school but halfway through the second grade when I was around 8 my family was transferred to South Georgia. A lot of the kids in my schools had never even been outside of Georgia before. In my freshman year in high school I was in the marching band and we were invited to march in the Thanksgiving Day parade in Detroit so our director decided to make that the annual trip the band went on every year. So we took a week and first went to Niagara Falls, NY before going into Canada to Toronto for a few days before heading to Detroit for the parade. We had 8 charter buses and a few equipment trucks traveling with us. Once we got to Niagara (after 32 hours traveling) we were let loose to just explore and do whatever we wanted. So here were all these small city southern kids running around! I still don’t know how we made it the whole week without someone getting arrested or just getting into some trouble! But Niagara was cool even though it was in late November so it was frigid. Some of the students didn’t have any winter coats (because you don’t need them in South Georgia typically) and they were running around in jeans jackets! My sister and I had the field coats my dad still had from when he was stationed in northern Michigan and had to be out on the flight line during winter. The Air Force gave them those coats just so they could stay outside on the flight line for more than 10 minutes at a time! So we were fairly warm. In Toronto on the first night we had a private tour of the CN Tower which included the observation deck at the very top. The wind was extremely strong and no matter what you were wearing you couldn’t stay outside on the open air deck for more than about 5 minutes and some of my classmates who had the Jean jackets were absolutely miserable! I felt bad for them but not bad enough to let them use my heavy coat. Anyway, my point was that Niagara is really cool to see in person!

I have been there a few times, first on my wedding honeymoon, and one of those times during the winter where they have lights on the partially frozen falls, it is spectacular! We stayed in a hotel on the Canadian side, every time we went outside, there is a roar in the air from the falls, people that live there get used to it.

I live a couple hours from Niagara Falls. If you ever get the chance to see them, TAKE IT. It's absolutely beautiful.

I live down the road from Niagara Falls NY. Will be going fishing this week in the lower Niagara river. It's a beautiful place Btw .there are also Jet boat rides from the lower Niagara river up through Devils hole to the Falls and back.

I agree New York State is beautiful. We have 4 seasons. It's spectacular in the autumn. We have the Catskill mountains, finger lakes, Letchworth State park has a beautiful gorge. Tons of small towns. Buffalo is on Lake Erie, where we have lots of beaches. New York State is also adjacent to Lake Ontario, the St. Lawrence Seaway and Thousand Islands. I should work to promote the State, lol 😂.

You are like an excited little boy watching US videos. You are adorable❣️ I hope you and your family make it here.

I've been to Niagara Falls, Canadian side, and the Maid of the Mist. The falls are beautiful. It's about 400 miles from New York City to Niagara Falls so no, it's not exactly close! I'm from Illinois.

I love Niagara Falls. I've been there four times. I'm a huge lover of being outdoors and beautiful scenery, so to me it's an ideal place. There are times of the year where it can be crowded but I've not experienced that myself. I've also been on the Maid of the Mist a couple times and it's a special view of the falls. I just love it there. I also really love Toronto, Ontario, which is about 128km north of Niagara by road. I would go to Toronto any time I went to Niagara.

We actually stayed in hotel (Canadian side) right next to the falls!

On your first trip to America, take two weeks. Fly into Washington DC, spend 2-3 days, drive to New York City, spend a few days, drive to Niagra Falls, one day American side, one day Canadian side. Drive to Philadelphia for the Liberty Bell, then back to Washington DC.

Western New York is like a different planet from NYC. Niagara Falls is about a 20 minute drive North of Buffalo, NY. Buffalo, the population center of the region and 2nd largest city in NY state has fewer than 300,000 people, about half what the population was in the early 1900s. With that being said the Western New York region that Niagara Falls and Buffalo are located in still have 2.6 million people so still a lot of people, just nowhere near nearly 19 million people in the greater NY area and 8+ million in just NYC itself. If you ever travel to check out Niagara Falls allow time to check out Devils Hole State park nearby and then stop down in Buffalo and get some Chicken Wings in the city they were invented in, as well as Beef on Weck and some of the most underrated pizza anywhere. You won't be sorry. If you go in the summer there are tons of great festivals almost every weekend all summer long. Also a lot of great architecture and historical sites around Buffalo and the observation deck at the top of city hall were you can see for miles. Toronto is also relatively close and is an amazing city to check out. A lot of people actually fly into Toronto and then cross into the US at the Peace Bridge in Buffalo or the Bridges crossing near Niagara Falls.

This is why we recommend if you’re coming for a short amount of time pick 1 state and focus on only 1. There’s so much to do and see that if you try to do a lot of diff states you’ll be in a rush and won’t really get to take in what you’re seeing

My husband was born in Niagara Falls, NY, and lived there til he was 8. Someday, I will get to visit!

Oh also, you should look up what Niagara Falls looks like in winter time. It creates some incredible ice formations.

I love the joy you have about life and the world. Thank you for sharing it with us!

I grew up about an hour and a half from Niagara Falls. My dad took us there once a year. I no longer live close by, but every time I come home, we visit the falls. It is still as amazing as the first time I saw it. The lights at night are a must see

Back in the mid 90s I lived about half an hour from the Falls. It is an absolute wonder to behold. The Canadian side is better for views and night time is so beautiful. They also have fireworks shows at night during the summer months.

2. If you go to the falls you definitely want to see them from the Canada side. The beauty doesn't stop at the US border. All of North America is amazing.

Something that would pair really well with a trip to the northeast would be a visit to Acadia National Park.. it's amazing in the fall when all the leaves turn! 2

One of the great things about living in America is Niagra Falls. And Monument Valley. And Meteor Crater. And Yosemite. And the Grand Canyon. And Mount Rushmore. And Denali. And the Giant Redwoods. And the list goes on. I gotta tell you, for people who essentially got kicked out of every respectable country on Earth we lucked into some absolutely fantastic great land.

Your reaction to this video made me smile the entire time, thank you!!!

2 Brooklyn. As kid use to go with school either The Falls or Bear Mountain Park or Rye Playland.

André "Whata planet!" Took me right to the Whataburger video.

I'm from NYC, brother. Really enjoying your reactions. Keep it up!

I live in Toronto about a 2 and half hour car ride.When friends and family come to visit Niagara is the #1 place they want to go.And the Best parts of Niagara Falls are in Canada🇨🇦🥰

My son got married in Niagara Falls, he had just started a job after graduating and only could take 3 days off. I must have walked from the hotel to the falls 5 times each day and night. It is a site to behold.

This is a great video! Really enjoyed watching it!

The sad part about the Falls. We'll never she them as they were. Current flow across the falls is a small % of what It used to be. A couple times a years they were letting full flow across the falls to clean out the base of the falls. The power is incredible.

The Canadian side is where you'll want to be, both sides beautiful but the horseshoe you need to see and walk under the falls on the Canadian side.

Oh, I love these creators! I hope you watch their videos about their trip to South Dakota. They really took their time to see a little of everything, not just Mount Rushmore.

Definitely see Niagara Falls from the CANADIAN side!

Watching from western NY! It's beautiful - I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Been to Niagra Falls many times.
