Kids, Nature and Wellness: Niagara Falls, Ontario Canada

Niagara Falls is a wonderful way to spend time in nature and have a great family experience. The best time to visit Niagara Falls is from May to October because of the milder weather. Attractions like Maid of the Mist and Journey behind the Falls is a must for your entire family. Niagara Falls is obviously a big attraction for honeymooners and is labeled the honeymoon capital of the world. It is also a great place for a family vacation. Our trip to Niagara Falls is a adventure our 3 children will never forget. The appreciation we all had for Mother Nature is beyond words after seeing her greatest wonders in the falls. The trip is a spiritual experience in viewing such an amazing natural wonder and her surrounding landscape.

The one struggle families could face is the food and the overpriced restaurants. Traveling with 3 children can be very expensive if you do not have the right food options packed. Our family tries to eat healthy even when we are not at home. The important thing to do before traveling to Niagara Falls or on any trip is to plan ahead. I made sure we made a trip to our local Health Food store to purchase healthy snacks before we left. The other important thing to do is talk to the hotel staff about "family style" restaurant options. We had such an amazing homemade Italian meal that was walking distant from our hotel that the staff recommended. Niagara Falls is PACKED with touristy restaurants that unhealthy and extremely overpriced.

Niagara Falls is one of the biggest producers of negative ions. You are probably wondering who cares or what those are. Well, negative ions are an oxygen atom with an extra electron. Well, again, so what?!  Well, in talking about wellness I think it is important to know that the moving water of the falls releases negative ions. The negative ions then turn and purify the air and give off high volumes of oxygen. While we were all standing on the maid of the mist viewing this natural wonder we all felt a energized and rejuvenated feeling. The effects that the negative ions consumption were contributing to our whole families physical and emotional well being.
I hope everyone of you take the opportunity to take this journey to the Falls. The sightseeing will be an adventure your family will remember always. It is truly a magical experience that you and your loved ones will never forget!
Blessing and Love to you all ~ Kelly Jeffrey
