Seeing the Falls from the Niagara Parkway is nice, but you can’t really get a feel for how huge they are until you get an aerial view. People spend hundreds of dollars a night to stay in fallsview rooms along the wall of hotels that line the parkway.
One of the original buildings is the Konica Minolta Tower. From the observation deck on the 26th floor, you get a fantastic view of the Niagara River, the American Falls, the Bridal Veil Falls, and the Horseshoe Falls.
You can see many more pictures of and from the top of the Konica Minolta Tower in the AccessNiagara Image Gallery.
The Niagara Falls Public Library’s Historica Niagara Digital Collection also has a nice collection of pictures of the Konica Minolta Tower, including pictures of the tower being built.
