How should you plan your family tour to Niagara Falls?

For international travelers, Niagara Falls is nothing less than the path to heaven. One cannot understand the beauty of this natural wonder unless they visit the place. It is a must-see. There are plenty of things to do and see here, making it an excellent weekend getaway or mini-vacation spot for the whole family. You can stay in a hotel room overlooking the falls, visit breweries and vineyards in the neighborhood, and have a destination that is exciting and restful. 

1. Niagara Falls tours

A planned tour is an excellent option if you do not want to put in a lot of time and effort organizing things yourself. Thanks to the Queen Tour Niagara Falls Tours of Toronto, you can customize the trip easily according to your budget and holiday type (a short business tour, an extended family vacation, or a quick honeymoon tour).

• Everything here in Niagara Falls: On this 5-hour tour, you will visit Skylon Tower, the Niagara Falls Journey, and the Hornblower Cruise, all on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls.

• American Side Highlights Tour: This four-hour excursion includes Prospect Point Observation Tower, Maid of the Mist boat tour, and Cave of Flowing Water on land. Visits to Bridal Veil and Horseshoe Falls and Goat Island, and the Mighty Whirlpool are all included in this tour.

On the other hand, we also recommend a tasting tour and lunch at Niagara-on-the-Lake (a small town) wineries. It is a great place to visit if you like wine. 

2. How do you visit Niagara Falls?

There are two airports near Niagara Falls. There is a Toronto airport in Canada, and a Buffalo, New York, airport on the other side of the border in the United States. A 1.5-hour trip from Toronto’s airport takes you to Niagara Falls. Around 30 minutes from Buffalo, you will arrive at your destination. 

If you are going to rent a car, we strongly recommend it, but it is not necessary. From Toronto, New York, or other nearby cities, you can take a train to Niagara Falls. If you stay in the central tourist area of Niagara Falls, you can walk or take a cab almost anywhere.

3. When to visit Niagara Falls

It is possible to visit Niagara Falls State Park at any time of year because it is open year-round. It never closes. However, when the weather is terrible, several attractions must close for the winter. The falls have a large number of tourists throughout the summer, and as a result, admission rates are higher. 

Therefore, we propose that you visit Niagara Falls in the fall or spring. Because these are the off-season, you will not have to deal with large crowds or high lodging costs. Fall peak foliage is a stunning time to visit the falls. The falls are even more incredible during the winter months when covered in ice.

In the end

There are six fantastic ways to explore Niagara Falls – float right up to the falls, go behind the falls, see the falls from above, walk alongside the falls, see panoramic falls views, and the Niagara Falls history museum. Ask your tour provider for more information.
