Product Description
Niagara Falls is a world wonder shared by the United States and Canada that draws nearly twenty million people each year. We'll find out geographical facts on what makes Niagara Falls unique and how the raging waters are transformed into limitless electrical power for cities and states throughout the region.

Since the 19th century couples have journeyed to Niagara Falls to spend their honeymoons. We'll learn the reasons why and then go on some of the best tours - from the Maid of The Mist to the Cave of The Winds to the Journey Behind The Falls. We'll see why 15 people have attempted a trip over the falls, get an up-close look at their history-making contraptions, and find out what happened to the ones who didn't survive. We'll also learn how Niagara Falls held the promise of freedom for Americans fleeing slavery during the 1800s.

4.0 out of 5 stars very good but not perfect, February 25, 2009

By	Y. Wan "i_like_pictures" (Raleigh, NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I give this video a 4-star because it has a nice combination of both scenes and history/information, so it won't disappoint you whichever type you like.

But I didn't give it a 5-star because half of the time was spent on history(showing reproduction of old B&W prints, etc) and interviews, which for me it's unnecessary information. The other half are beautiful video cam of the fall, from all angles, etc.

Only wish all 50 minutes were video cam.

5.0 out of 5 stars Niagara Falls DVD, August 8, 2008

By	Davis Day Trips LLC "Davis Day Trips" (Pennsville, NJ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm a tour operator and this DVD provided an excellent overview of Niagara Falls which helped me prepare for my recent visit. Typically I'm quite bored by documentaries, but this DVD held my interest. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to play the DVD on the motorcoach due to a technical problem. Had I been able to show it, however, I know that it would have been of great interest to my customers.
