Thundering waterfalls take center stage at New York’s Niagara Falls State Park, the nation’s oldest state park. Niagara Falls State Park is home to over 400 acres of lush terrain and protected wildlife. We will meet at the lobby of the hotel at 5:00pm and make our way to Niagara Falls State Park. We will first take a look at the American Falls from the observation tower and then make our way down to the falls themselves. We will then cross over the falls to Goat Island and observe the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls from Luna Island. We will then make are way across Goat Island to Terrapin Point and view the majestic Horseshoe Falls.

After viewing Niagara Falls State Park we will walk to the Red Coach Inn at around 6:45pm. The Red Coach Inn overlooks Niagara's majestic Upper Rapids, just 500 yards from the brink of Niagara Falls - so close you can hear the roar! This Niagara Falls, NY hotel is the city's most distinctive historic structure, with its English Tudor exterior and warm English country ambiance. When The Red Coach Inn opened its doors for business on August 30, 1923, Niagara Falls had finally gained a hostelry befitting its rank as the honeymoon capital of the world. Situated near the center of town overlooking the spectacular Upper Rapids, the Inn was an imposing structure, three and one-half stories high, and built in the architectural style of the old English Tudor period. The owners, William Schoellkopf and Charles Peabody, spared no expense or effort in recreating the atmosphere and style of the Bell Inn in Finedon, England. History says the Old Bell "was granted a license during the reign of the Saxon King Harold and Queen Editha who often rested there when stag hunting." Above the fireplace in the Grill Room is a painting of General LaFayette's famous red carriage, for which the Inn is named, by Buffalo artist A. Rafael Beck. The scene depicts the greeting of LaFayette at the Eagle Tavern, which was located across the street in the early nineteenth century. Dinner will begin at 7:00pm.
