Shop & Sip Around the Falls

Niagara Falls USA may be known for its natural beauty, but there’s plenty of girls’-trip fun to be had, too. From shopping to wine-tasting, spa treatments to dinner reservations, here’s the perfect friends’ getaway.

Day 1

Soak Up the Falls

Start your Niagara Falls USA getaway by experiencing the wonder of the Falls themselves. You’ll find plenty of spots to Instagram your crew at Niagara Falls State Park: sailing on the iconic Maid of the Mist, getting drenched on the Hurricane Deck or strolling around Goat Island, to name but a few. After snagging all your photo ops, rehash the day’s adventures with a meal at the historic Red Coach Inn — fireside in the winter; on the patio in the summer. Afterwards, stroll back over to the park to witness the nightly Falls illumination.

Day 2

Make Time for Mimosas and Massages

Kick off day two with a scrumptious brunch, and then head out for a day of shopping and sightseeing. There are plenty of local boutiques to explore as well as a treasure trove of antique shops, and you’ll love getting to stroll through the charming towns that dot Niagara County. Your feet are going to be tired from all that walking — why not book a few pedicure or massage appointments before heading out for dinner? A perfect spot to try with your girls is Remington Tavern & Seafood Exchange in North Tonawanda — this 1895 trolley barn has been revamped into an upmarket American tavern with a waterside patio.

Day 3

Hit the Wineries

It’s time to toast to your time together. Choose a designated driver (or call an Uber!) and head to the scenic wine country surrounding Niagara Falls USA. In nearby Sanborn, Long Cliff Vineyard & Winery and Anthony Manor Winery offer a variety of whites and reds for tasting, along with robust calendars of events and activities. Oh, and did we mention sprawling vineyard vistas? Speaking of bucolic views, be sure to stop at Becker Farms for more tastings and a bite to eat. (You can even book a room to stay overnight!)

Day 4

Stock Up at the Outlets

You can’t leave town with stocking up on big (big!) deals at the Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls USA. Unsure where to start? Try our handy Fashion Outlets Finder. Before leaving, make sure you get one last taste of Niagara Falls USA by sampling one of our local delicacies: delicious New York-style pizza, spicy wings or a hearty beef-on-weck sandwich.
