You Need To See This Dazzling Waterfall Light Show In New York At Least Once In Your Life

Here at OnlyInYourState, we have a thing for waterfalls. Some may even call it an obsession! And in New York? Well, the waterfall wanderlust is real, as not only is our state home to *the* Niagara Falls, but it's also home to one of the most enchanting, straight-from-a-fairy-tale waterfalls in the country! If you're looking for a unique, only in New York kind of experience that's truly next level, the Niagara Falls light show is hard to beat. Transforming the star of our country's oldest state park into something so spectacular it'll leave you speechless, see why this one incredible light show belongs at the very top of your bucket list.

Open 24/7/365, Niagara Falls State Park transforms once the sun goes down each day.

The new illumination display will feature color palettes and movements inspired by nature, including the sunrise, aurora borealis, rainbow, and sunset. The mighty American and Canadian Horseshoe Falls will come alive every evening with this tribute to the natural beauty all around us.

The falls aren't just lit up for special occasions though!

That's right — each night of the year you can find the American Falls illuminated with a wide spectrum of color.

As of November 14, 2020, the "Inspired by Nature" display has become part of the regular nightly illumination of the Falls, with the five-minute lighting display playing through three times on the half hour, beginning at 7:30 each evening, with additional shows at 8:30, 9:30, 10:30, and 11:30 p.m.

It's truly an immersive, vibrant experience that the whole family can enjoy.

While we highly encourage you to visit Niagara Falls during the day, we also highly suggest adding a nighttime visit to the top of your bucket list as well.

So if you're ready to be totally dazzled, make a point of visiting the nightly Niagara Falls light show -- even in the winter, as you might just see the falls frozen!
