Helpful Hints
Birdwatching is a popular activity at the base of the gorge where you board the Maid of the Mist boat tour. While in line, be on the look out to see if you are able to spot a falcon, bald eagle, or various gull species.

Take some time to explore the Rowhomes of Geneva. One of the city’s standout characteristics is its architecture. These charming row houses, which share side walls, originated in Europe during the 16th century and were constructed in Geneva between 1808 and 1820. To admire these lovely buildings and see where the village center once was—home to a hotel, post office, and the first town hall—head to Pulteney Park and stroll along South Main Street.

In the Fingerlakes, take in the lake views and take the opportunity to get a photo in front of the “I Love NY” sculpture.

While passports are not necessary for this tour, you’re welcome to bring yours if you’d like to cross the Rainbow Bridge, which connects US Niagara to Canadian Niagara.

At the Corning Museum of Glass, be sure to explore the live exhibits. At the Fire and Wine exhibit, discover the connection between glass and wine. You can also take your time honing your detective skills with a glass scavenger hunt.
