When to Visit Based on Price
Visiting between September and April will offer you the best hotel rates, but keep in mind that it gets cold during the winter in Canada. If you can bundle up and work with cold weather, not only are the rates lower, but also it’s spectacular seeing the falls frozen.
• Low Season: September through April is less busy. Average Daily Rates of:
- 2 Star: $95-$105
- 3 Star: $105-$125
- 4 Star: $145-$200
- 2 Star: $125-$145
- 3 Star: $145-$175
- 4 Star: $200-$300
Magic Savings Tip: Public transportation is available to all attractions. In fact most hotels offer free shuttle services to and from the airport, so why rent a car? Parking at all attractions is very expensive so save some money and forget the car rental.
Sights you mustn’t miss
Make sure you view the falls not only during the day, bur at night when it’s illuminated. Viewing the falls from below, on board the Maid of the Mist in your yellow raingear is not only a blast, but also a great photo op.
Fun things to do
For an exciting way to see the falls, take a ride on the Niagara SkyWheel from 175nfeetnabove the falls. The 8-12 minute ride affords you awesome views of Horseshoe Falls, American Falls and Parks and other landmarks. For the totally brave at heart, try this ride at night. Don’t forget the camera.
For a truly unique adventure, a Niagara Falls Helicopter Tour will not only remain in your memories forever, but the photo’s and video’s will be admired by all you share them with.
Just one block from the falls you will find the Great Canadian Midway with over 70,000 square feet of fun and excitement for the whole family. Be sure to ride the Ghost Blasters Dark Ride, before that hotdog.
Wine and Dine Tips
For your dining pleasure especially for families, the Rainforest Café is one of the excellent choices. Chomping down a juicy burger in a jungle setting complete with sounds is an experience in itself for you and the kids.
For a great steakhouse, it’s hard to beat Ruth’s Chris Steak House where your steak is served to you sizzling hot, guaranteed.
Combine not only two great dining experiences with views of the falls from the top of Skylon Tower. Choose between the Summitt Buffet and the Revolving Dining Room.
Day Trips
It’s always exciting to take a trip over the boarder to the American side of Niagara Falls, and view the falls from a different angle. Spend some time shopping and dining in a different country, but be careful what you buy, and keep in mind the name “customs”.
Another super way to spend the day is to take a Niagara-On-The –Lake Winery Tour. If you have a designated driver, you can of course get a map of the wine tour and visit your selections. However, there’s a satisfying feeling of calmness when you take a guided tour with a driver, and you can concentrate on sipping.
