Stunning view of the Horseshoe Falls. There are beautiful trails to hike and many places to sit and relax. It has got access to Three Sisters Island, Luna Island and Cave of the Wind. Well maintained sites and washrooms.

Took a trip to goat island for the first time in a 20 years. We enjoyed the view of the falls, both the horse shoe and American falls. Canadian border is still closed due to Covid-19. Weird seeing to vehicles on the Rainbow Bridge. Nice wal, great views of the falls. Some day we need to do the cave of the winds, the maid of the mist and the jet boats. Always lots to do in Niagara Falls area. Amazing view of this natural wonder. $10 to park, not that bad because its worth it for what you see, could be $5 and they would still make money. A gift shop in the area as well. Nice trip.

Beautiful! Outstanding hiking trails. World class views of the American and Canadian Falls. Lots of signage. Well kept. Free parking is available. 10$ cash or card for up close to the falls parking. Close to all the sights like Maid of the Mist, hotels, shops and the casino.

Very nice trails. You can see the falls from different points. Very good ice cream - parking available on the island but you can walk from outside to the island too. It is a gorgeous walk. A must do if you are in Niagara Falls.

We ended up on Goat Island after being unable to find parking at the Niagara Falls State Park...and we were not disappointed!! It is thrilling to be standing right next to the falls. We loved the walkways and bridges taking you through natural areas and overlooks. The gift shop was nice and restrooms very well maintained.

I have visited Niagara Falls three times. It was more than 20 years for the first two. This time we visited in mid April, off-popular season. There is no crowd like in popular season. It was though much cooler around this time. The parking was free after 5 PM when off-popular season. You can enjoy the falls with more free taste.

Awesome any time of the year! Could see the Iron Scow pretty easy after its recent move and the view/sound/feel was awesome. 10$ to park way worth it. Avoid the local scary casinos/tourism traps in the urban area and escape to the falls. Always awesome/thrilling.

I live in the area, Goat Island is the American side of the Horseshoe part of the Falls. US side is mostly park while the Canadian developers have opted for more of a Las Vegas experience on the edge of the falls.

Nice place even wintertime. Still the State Park lacks some facilities during winter season - some good cup of hot coffee would be essential.

The park is kept up very nicely. The trails are wide & in the process of getting more handrails and other amenities.

HEAVEN HEAVEN HEAVEN HEAVENFeel the rush of the American side of Niagara Falls!! You cannot get this close and personal with the Falls on the Canadian side, but in the natural setting of the American Falls, you can practically reach out and touch them! Throughout all four seasons you will enjoy this Wonder of the World! It is one of my favorite places on earth!

This Island gives you access to Top of the Falls view and cave of the Winds. Very crowded with limited parking in summer. $10 for parking!

Been going there since I was a kid. Wow have they made great improvements on the grounds and I took my grandkids for a drive during a snow storm - beautuful - and a plow came through. I had to explain to my granddaughter GOAT Island not Ghost Island. Lol.

Nice view of Niagara. Does not match up to the Canadian side. Cave of the winds very poorly maintained. No rain protective ponchos....! Not worth the fee to visit.

Review №22

This is a well kept state park. But after being on the Canadian side of the falls, it just cant compete. Even though this is the only place that you can go to the top edge of both falls, it was still a little disappointing after being on the other side of the rainbow bridge.

Our favorite piece of Niagara! We walked over from the main park and enjoyed the fresh air, water views, and then the wonderful views of the falls. We didnt have our passports on us at the time of our trip, but I dont feel like I missed out on anything, seeing that we were able to see the falls so well and closely!

Review №25

One of the best places for good views of all three of the falls. You can drive or walk to the island, and it has two separate parking lots for either $8 or $10 per car per day. The Cave of the Mist attraction is on this island, as well as terrapin point for viewing horseshoe falls.There are nice public restrooms, a restaurant, a gift shop, and plenty of lookout points for photo opportunities. Be sure to visit Goat Island if you come to Niagara Falls on the United States side.

Living near one of the 7 wonders of the world is sometimes overlooked by local people. Our family tries to remember to visit in all seasons. No matter what time of year, it is worth every minute spent appreciating nature and family! Get outside people

Wonderful state park area smack dab between North Americas two greatest waterfalls. Currently undergoing renovations with the visitors center and Cave of the Winds ticket booth, the overall park area is still very accommodating. Dont forget the fact you can view both the American/Bridal Veil Falls as well as the Horseshoe Falls right from the edge. Check out the monument to Tesla and his immense contribution to the area and civilization in general.

Do not miss Three Sisters Islands. Beautiful views of the Canadian Skyline across the River, towering out of the mist of the waterfall.

Island in the Niagara Reservation. Access to Goat Island by vehicle on Buffalo Ave. And Rainbow Blvd.(Also a safe Pedestrian walkway seperate from traffic). You can Drive around Island for free, and there are a few free half hour parking spots by Three Sisters Island. Also a row facing the River are Free half hour Handicap spots. There are paved paths that are accessible from them. Worth the Parking Fee to Park especially if your planning on taking in the sites. Horseshoe Falls, Cave of the Winds, Luna Island, Bridal Vail Fall, Three Sisters Island, Views of Niagara River as it heads to the Brink, Upper Rapids, Beautiful Picnic Area, Wildlife, Bird Watching, Trolly and more. Great place to Relax and enjoy the day. Fireworks most nights in summer.
