Go to the headquarters of Corning, a Fortune 500 company, visit the world's largest glass collection museum, and enjoy live glass production performances. Then we will go to Niagara Falls, visit the Falls National Park and see the American Falls, Horseshoe Falls and Bridal Veil Falls. The water rushes down like thunder and lightning. Experience the majestic momentum first-hand, just like thousands of horses galloping. At night, you will go deep into Niagara Falls and experience an in-depth night tour.

The Corning Museum of Glass (optional, 1.5 hr): We set off from Washington, D.C. in the morning and drive north to the world-famous Corning Museum of Glass, the heart of the American glass industry. Some 100,000 pieces fill the galleries, from colourful artworks to crystal-clear sculptures, with live glassmaking demonstrations that bring the craft to life.

Niagara Falls

  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Continue to Niagara for the night tour, “one park, two islands, three falls.” Heading deep into the park, you take in multi-angle views from Ram Island and Moon Island while Horseshoe Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and American Falls glow under shifting coloured lights.

After the boat is closed, the itinerary will no longer visit this attraction. The specific closure time is subject to the actual notification of the attraction.

Niagara Falls State Park

  • 2h 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
Niagara Falls Classic Tour (optional, 2.5 hr): Spend the morning getting close to the falls from both land and water. At Whirlpool State Park you look down on a 125-foot-deep natural whirlpool, formed where the river makes a sharp turn and the rapids churn back on themselves. At the Cave of the Winds, an lift drops you into the gorge and onto walkways at the foot of the falls, close enough to feel the spray. Then comes the Maid of the Mist, the storied boat sailing since 1846 that carries you right into the misty basin below the falls. Afterwards we make the drive to New York. Note: the Maid of the Mist usually operates late April to October (subject to river ice conditions); after it closes for the season, this stop is not visited.

Cave of the Winds (Pass by)

The Cave of the Winds on the New York side of Niagara Falls is an attraction, which allows sightseers to walk right up to the base of the Bridal Veil Falls with water crashing right down on them and flowing beneath the decking!

Maid of the Mist (Pass by)

It's the combination of height and volume that makes the Niagara Falls so beautiful. More than 6 million cubic ft. (168,000 cubic metres) of water lays over the crest line of the falls every minute during daytime peak tourist hours. And the famous Maid of the Mist ride gets passengers as close as possible to the Niagara Falls! The Maid rides right into the mists thrown up by the roaring cascade as the Niagara River tumbles over the edge of the falls.
