  • Visit the Goat Island lookout.
  • Stop by the Cave of the Winds to see the Bridal Veil Falls.
  • Enjoy the view, from the Canadian side, at Table Rock.

Lodging

If you are staying in Niagara Falls, we recommend you to make a reservation in advance, especially if you travel in high season when the demand for hotels exceeds the supply and makes it almost impossible to find an available room. Take the time to schedule your visit, review the available hotels and choose the one that best suits your plan so you can have a wonderful excursion.

Weather

Keep in mind the season when you plan to make your trip, because even though any month of the year is interesting, it depends a lot on your tastes, interests and budget. In addition, according to the weather and the state of the river, some attractions will be disabled, besides sometimes the influx of public is greater, and hotel prices begin to change.

The high season is in summer, between June and August, so the visits increase for being the vacation season. However, the weather is perfect, the falls produce a mist that are part of a complete show and the attractions are fully available, but the prices of the hotels are through the roof and there are long lines to access any attraction.

In autumn, from September to December, the temperature remains below 68 ° F, therefore the visitors and, likewise, the hotel rates decrease. Autumn is considered a romantic season since the influx of people has dropped significantly, and makes it easier to access the attractions. In addition, the forests turn on a typical color of the time, making the environment as attractive as the waterfalls themselves.

Niagara Falls in winter

In winter, from December to February, the influx of people is minimal given that the temperature is also low. In this season some of the attractions are closed due to the freezing of the river, but the hotels have the most comfortable rates. Despite becoming an area rarely visited these days, winter makes the fall show some natural spectacles joined by ice and frozen mist, something that for some may be striking and worthy of admiration.

In spring, between March and May, the first months tend to be very cold and there is still ice on the river, so mid-May is when the attractions are 100% resumed. In this season you can enjoy the parks that surround the falls as they begin to bloom, and take advantage of the time to take bike rides or enjoy festivals and fireworks shows.

Additional Attractions

In addition to seeing the scenery offered by the Niagara Falls tour from New York City, you can take a helicopter ride over the area, take advantage of Clifton Hill and its plans to hang out, and tour the wineries and vineyards of the region. Find out all about these additional plans as soon as you are planning your trip, so you can book early and take a better price.

Passage Between Canada And USA

If you want to do the complete excursion, it is necessary to have the required papers to cross the border (passport, pet permit, etc.), in this way you can spend some time seeing the landscape from the American side, full of forests and nature reserves, to then cross the border and tour the falls from the Canadian side, full of commerce.

If the visit to the falls is a single day, we recommend you to cross the border by the pedestrian bridge, since the vehicular bridge usually presents traffic jams at certain hours. But if your plan is to stay there for several days, the vehicular option is ideal for you.

Schedules

The Niagara Falls have no restrictions for visitors, are 24 hours open and available to the public, so it’s a matter of you to plan and organize what you want to do and what you want to see. For attractions, it is better to go early in the morning, to avoid lines; or find a cruise ship that sails during nightfall, the busiest time.
