In this Niagara Falls Vacation guide, we share everything you need to know before visiting the wonder of the world, including the best time to visit Niagara Falls, how to get around Niagara Falls and typical costs in Niagara Falls.

Niagara falls is where nature meets fun. Straddling the US/Canadian border, both sides offer a variety of attractions in and around the falls, ideal for families, couples and backpackers.

Best time to visit Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls can be visited all year round but to experience all the attractions in and around the falls at their best, the best time to visit Niagara Falls is from June to August.

Summer is peak season because the average high temperature is in the low 80s, you can enjoy a light breeze from the falls to keep you a little cooler but you can also dry off quickly after getting soaked in the Cave of the Winds; which we recommend doing.

Plus, there is a free Discover Niagara Shuttle which runs throughout the summer.

However, visiting in the Autumn offers a different experience, with beautiful colours in the state park as well as harvest season at the local wineries.

The main attractions close over the winter period but you can visit the falls as they freeze over if you time your trip just right.

Getting to Niagara Falls

The quickest way to get to Niagara Falls is by flying to either Toronto or Buffalo airport then take a taxi, bus or train into Niagara.

Alternatively, you can use the Greyhound bus services from New York City. These trips take 10 to 12 hours and cost $58. You could also take the train for $78, taking 9 hours. If you are taking a road trip, the drive can take approximately 6 and a half hours.

Getting around Niagara Falls

Whilst you are in Niagara Falls, there are a few ways to get around. Walking is the most popular option here, as many of the attractions are close to one another. You can also walk from the US side to the Canadian side and vice versa, using the Rainbow Bridge.

There isn’t too many parking options near the falls themselves apart from hotel or casino parking lots but driving around Niagara itself can be a fun experience; especially for those wanting to visit the vineyards or further afield attractions.

You can rent a bike around the falls too or use the Niagara Transit bus network on the US side.

Typical costs of Niagara Falls

Now, let’s look at typical costs. There are plenty of budget hotel rooms in Niagara rooms on both the American and Canadian side. Budget private rooms start at $30 US Dollars whilst a nicer room costs between 50 to 150 US dollars.

There are lots of restaurants to choose from too, with chain restaurants available for families looking for something that everyone can enjoy. As a couple who ate out twice a day and picked up breakfast from a grocery store but also drank in the bars occasionally, we spend on average around $80 a day between us.
