Planning a trip to Niagara Falls, New York? We’re sharing some of the best things to do in Niagara Falls NY, from FREE things to see at Niagara Falls State Park to bucket-list experiences like the Maid of the Mist and Cave of the Winds!

On this episode of Tonight’s Destination with The Fun Chasers, we’re joined by Tina Mt. Pleasant, Director of Travel Trade Sales for Niagara Falls USA, to explore Niagara Falls and some of the incredible towns, attractions, food and experiences waiting just beyond the Falls.

And Niagara Falls might be the perfect place to put our Save-to-Splurge philosophy into action: save money on the free and inexpensive experiences so you can splurge on those bucket-list adventures you came all this way to experience.

🌊 NIAGARA FALLS STATE PARK

There is plenty to experience without spending a fortune, including incredible views of the Falls and exploring Niagara Falls State Park. Then you can put some of those savings toward iconic Niagara Falls experiences like the Maid of the Mist and Cave of the Winds.

And yes, we learned something during this episode: Cave of the Winds isn't actually a cave!

🚗 THERE'S MORE BEYOND THE FALLS

Niagara Falls may be the headliner, but there's a whole lot more to explore in Western New York.

We talk about Lewiston, Old Fort Niagara, Olcott, Lockport and the Erie Canal, things to do around the city of Niagara Falls, and why it pays to leave some extra time in your itinerary to explore beyond the Falls themselves.

🍽️ WHAT'S ON YOUR PLATE?

We're also talking FOOD! From places to grab a bite around Niagara Falls to some of the local favorites you'll find while exploring the region, we're asking one of our favorite new travel questions:

What's on your plate?

Because discovering a destination includes discovering what everybody's eating there!

What if a museum didn’t have walls?

On this episode of Tonight’s Destination with The Fun Chasers, we’re heading to the Denver area to explore the Museum of Outdoor Arts, where sculpture, gardens, live music and public spaces come together to make art part of everyday life.

Founded in 1981, the Museum of Outdoor Arts has grown into a unique collection of outdoor art throughout Greenwood Village, Englewood and the Denver metro area, creating what MOA calls a “museum without walls.”

Our guests are Sky Madden, grandson of MOA founders John and Marjorie Madden, and Julie Savannah-Digby, who helps bring live music and special events to Marjorie Park.

Sky takes us inside the Madden family story and the vision that helped create the Museum of Outdoor Arts, Marjorie Park and Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre. We’ll hear how a family’s passion for art grew into something that has become part of the Denver-area landscape.

And you can’t talk about Fiddler’s Green without talking about its incredible Panoramic Living Mural. Nearly 35,000 living plants and flowers are hand-planted each year, creating a massive, ever-changing work of art around the amphitheatre while also providing habitat for butterflies and other pollinators. 🌸🦋

Then Julie takes us into the music! 🎶 Marjorie Park isn’t just home to outdoor sculpture and beautiful gardens. Throughout the season, it becomes a live entertainment venue with concerts, festivals and special events surrounded by art.

In this episode, we’re talking about:

• The history of the Museum of Outdoor Arts
• The Madden family legacy and how it all began
• Exploring Marjorie Park
• Outdoor sculptures and public art around Denver
• The connection between MOA and Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre
• The incredible Panoramic Living Mural
• Live music and special events at Marjorie Park
• The Madden Gallery
• Ways to experience some of MOA’s art for FREE
• Why this may be one of the Denver area’s most unexpected attractions

If you’re looking for things to do in Denver, Denver museums, outdoor art, sculpture gardens, live music in Denver, Greenwood Village attractions or something a little different for your next Colorado trip, put the Museum of Outdoor Arts on your list.
