The best view of the illuminated waterfalls you can have on a Canadian side, close to the Table Rock center, from the Victoria Park and somewhere between American and Horseshoe Falls.
Illuminated Niagara Falls with its frequently changing pattern of rainbow colors, is also wonderful high above the ground, from the Skylon Tower and Minolta Tower.
The breathtaking scenery of illuminated Falls can also be a perfect element in your romantic evening, combined with a glass of champagne and in a comfort and luxury of your Fallsview rooms in one of the high class hotels.

Tip for quality photos: In order to get a good quality picture, you will need a decent camera with a tripod, as you need a slow shutter speed to get a good exposure.
When the night falls and illumination show starts, you will see a breathtaking performance of Niagara Falls at night; so you can sit and watch the waterfalls for hours.
