One thing I will add. If you walk across the Rainbow Bridge, when you are coming from the Canadian side to the USA, there is a $1 toll. It is a turn style machine that only takes coin. They have machines to change cash to coin, but it does not take cards. I was there in September 2022 and had no cash or change. I had to go to the exchange store to get money to get back to the American side. I will also say that the Canadian side offers the best view of the falls, but the atmosphere around the falls is nicer on the American side as they have built a state park around the falls. The Canadian side is more commercial.
Tip for Skylon rotating restaurant: book your table for 30 minutes before sunset. You sit down to a great view of both falls, by the end of the meal an hour later, you come back to the Falls under the lights.
My wife and I have been to NF in the winter! It was too cold ! Never again! We went in the summer! Much better weather! It’s been years since we’ve been up there from Pennsylvania! I want to go again for our anniversary in may! We always stay in NF
Thanx so much for this amazing and informative video! A real pleasure to watch. Its great you also show the places to stay around or near the falls on both sides! I am from Europe and will visiting in december this year. This video already made me smile and plan and organize some amazing experiences in advance already! Thank you again for your great content!
Just came back from our winter trip to the falls! We had a blast visiting both sides. Although it was winter and some attractions were closed we realy enjoined the wonders the falls have to offer beyond the summer! Your video and information realy helped us prepare and strawl around to enjoy! Yes it was cold and we felt a little desolated but we think the winter is an amazing time to enjoy the Falls on a more quiet way! The US side was realy savage and robust with nothing realy happening around cause almost everything was closed so entering the Canadian side by crossing the rainbowbridge felt like a warm and cozy welcome. Clifton Hill was still booming and vivid, the falls at night in winter with all the lights and christmass decoration were suberb! Even the butterfly cons. Made us feel we could escape the cold and were on a seperate vacation within our vacation. Keep in mind this is about 6 miles from the park it self but was worth the walk! Thank you again so much for your video! We will absolutely check your other vids and prepare another trip soon! Cheers!
Brandon, the Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side are much more majestic than the American Falls. I first visited in 1983 when Dragon Mountain at Marineland had first opened. My family also did a water slide complex that year that you would almost slide right out and over the halfpipe slide, I had one leg go over the edge on a hairpin turn...it scared the crap out of this daredevil!
I went to Niagara Falls, Canada for Thanksgiving a few yrs back. The weather wasnt that bad. Only thing is The Maid of the Mist only operates until Oct 31, however The Hornblower on the Canadian side operates until Nov 30. The hotel prices are much cheaper and the crowds are much smaller. The state park on the American side is very nice. Great views of the top Horseshoe Falls. Parking was $10 USD.
Hey Great information. Some I know and done. I'm heading there today for 2 days! I will try some of those you mentioned I will be on the Canada side .. nyc to n f
As a Niagara Falls area local, I always recommend that visitors make the short drive to the towns of Niagara-on-the-Lake (Canada) and Lewiston (New York). Both are quaint, historic, spotless, and offer many restaurants and shops. Plus, it's nice to get away from the hoards of Niagara Falls tourist for a while.
Went here during the summer to see both sides. Amazing place to see and I totally agree saying the Canadian side has better views than the US. But I also agree that you should still explore the US side for Cave of the Winds, the Observation Tower, and Terrapin Point. One thing to add though, we stayed at the Embassy Suites on the Canadian side and even though it has a 3.7 rating on Google, the views were great from our room and the room was clean. Also the staff were nice. Was a bit crowded during breakfast, but it was free, which is a bonus. Otherwise, another great video Brandon 👍
gr8 video! Love this channel & these type of videos! Keep em' coming! Would love to see a Virginia tour video with the best attractions in the area aside from BGW
Thanks for tips and video.. looks really helpful. Am planning to visit in this month.. Edit: Thanks for the vlog.. I have visited Niagara last weekend and tried the most of the things mentioned in the video.. it is really helpful..
Another thing you should know about the Niagara Falls, Harriet Tubman was the first to survive a barrel ride into the falls, and she did multiple times!
@@briana009 A lifetime ago, my Canadian sidekick went to a fighter Pilot / Astronaut autograph convention. The guest of honor was introduced as being in the "most exclusive club on Earth." One of only twelve people who have walked on the Moon. My buddy blurted out, "Only eleven men have gone over Niagra Falls in a barrel, and the first one of them was a woman!!" Now the numbers have finally changed in NASA's favor...
I am planning a trip from Chicago to Niagara Falls and I am likely to take the train. The return train seems to late evening so would there be enough time to visit these places? Please share any suggestions/recommendations.
Hey! Here is what I found - thank you for watching www.getyourguide.com/niagara-falls-usa-l87888/niagara-falls-night-illumination-tour-from-usa-side-t401118/?ranking_uuid=78cc3417-977c-4275-a7af-576d0f9eddff
There were so many Indians there when we were there a few weeks ago ,,, you’d think you are in India ! What happens to the Canadians ? I only saw a handful
I'm quite a way down a rabbit hole here. LMAO I've been feeling Nostalgic from the days of going here in my childhood. Now the only time I go to the falls is to Play with the band at Big Texas Niagara. If I ever get a gf again, I'll do the hole week there with her and play Friday-Saturday night at the club.. You know. make a bit of $$ back 😅😅
If you plan to stick around the falls, there are reddi bikes available and many things walking distance but if you are here longer than couple of days, a car will allow you to visit Buffalo, Niagara on the Lake, even Toronto. The drive from the Buffalo airport is about 35 minutes in a rental car but there are shuttles and ride share options. Our Niagara Falls airport is an even better option if you can get a flight in there. It is tiny so it is not always doable though
that water fall belonged only Canada not belonged usa .. usa government korean estern sea 동해 called Japanese sea. According usa definition that fall belonged only Canada
I feel so vindicated as a lot of these reccomendarions about the falls were a lot of the things I've been planning. Little disappointed seeing Marineland being rated so high when looking at the park, it's an absolute joke, even without looking at the animal abuse controversy.
I just got back from a trip to NF. While the Maid trip was fun and interesting, the rest of the trip was awful. Overpriced parking and overcrowded. Crappy hotels and restaurants. Couldn’t get out of there fast enough.
Niagara Falls is such an amazing site to see so much power and beauty minutes viewed better from the Canadian side, but on the Canadian side, they have really cheap and the experience by putting in a midway attraction. Was just therefore our honeymoon and was disappointed to see all this cheap garbage Stuff you see a small town festival. A lot of the shops have nothing to do with Niagara Falls. Crap you can get a Dollar tree. It would’ve been better off to add more restaurants and hotel and gift shops all pertaining to nothing but Niagara Falls traditional Canadian tradition of maple syrup and maple candy with all the midway for traveling circuses

Yes we took the Amtrak back to chicago. Its pretty late at night though. And a 40 minutes drive to the station in Buffalo. The station was quite empty with only few people in the waiting lounge. A v small station. Like a smalll house in fact. One full day is more than enough to see the u.s side niagara.

I am doing this in a few weeks. Will take the all night Amtrak train from Chicago to Buffalo in a roomette sleeper room. Staying for one, very long, ~ 16 hr day. Returning on the 12:30 AM Amtrak in coach. Hoping I wear myself out so much walking around for miles and hours that I’ll get some sleep. 🤞🤞

I never knew there were so many things to do at Niagara Falls! Great video with awesome recommendations from hotels to attractions. Thank you.
Thank you my friend! It’s a great spot
Remember that buffalo is literally 25 minutes away so many many more things to do
Tip for Skylon rotating restaurant: book your table for 30 minutes before sunset. You sit down to a great view of both falls, by the end of the meal an hour later, you come back to the Falls under the lights.
GREAT TIP! Thank you!
We're going at the beginning of August 2024! I've never been and I'm 50 years old. 🙂 I'm going with my wife and two of our children.

Another helpful vacation planning video as usual. I had no idea there was so much to do in Niagara Falls besides the falls itself.
It’s such a great area

You’re well Robert!
I’ve been on the jet boat tour and it was amazing! Obviously I got soaked but it was so much fun. Sadly it’s got a lot more expensive at almost $80.
Great and very helpful. Thank u!

That is so awesome! Have a great trip! Glad it helped :)
Niagara falls is the best
Another thing you should know about the Niagara Falls, Harriet Tubman was the first to survive a barrel ride into the falls, and she did multiple times!
She crossed over the Bridge, she never went over them in a Barrell...
Annie Edsel went over in barrel. Harriet Tubman helped others over border to freedom. Very few people survived the barrels
Wow I didn't know. Thanks
It’s very clear you’re uncultured the first person to ever go over was Annie Edison Taylor😘

Where can I store my luggage 🧳 any luggage storage in the area?
Usually some of the hotels will offer this for you. I would call the hotel you are staying at and ask. Have a great trip!
Hi! Usually some of the hotels will offer this service. I would just call as ask the hotel. have a great trip!
Really wish I could fly my drone and get some nice aerial shots. Even if I had to pay 🥲
What is the best way to tour the falls at night with the lights?
Hey! Here is what I found - thank you for watching www.getyourguide.com/niagara-falls-usa-l87888/niagara-falls-night-illumination-tour-from-usa-side-t401118/?ranking_uuid=78cc3417-977c-4275-a7af-576d0f9eddff
Do you still need a passport on the rainbow bridge?
Yea you do
@@TravelGuidesUS thank you!
What about Clifton Hill?
Which of these attractions can you visit by bus or on foot? Or does everyone visiting this area need to rent a car?
You can visit a lot of these by foot since most of them are located around a mile from the falls :)
There were so many Indians there when we were there a few weeks ago ,,, you’d think you are in India ! What happens to the Canadians ? I only saw a handful

He going to be signing autographs?
I’m flying in to Buffalo. Do I need to rent a car?
If you stay around the falls, I would not recommend it. But I would also price out Uber so you know how much it will cost you to go there and from

not belonged usa .. usa government

Yooo
Great Video, but Donatello‘s sucks, not even 3/5 stars.
I was going off of Google reviews. Thank you for watching i appreciate you. ❤️😃
@@TravelGuidesUS We‘ve been there last week (no Italian atmosphere, no service at all, pizza small but ok, salad was horrible)
I feel so vindicated as a lot of these reccomendarions about the falls were a lot of the things I've been planning. Little disappointed seeing Marineland being rated so high when looking at the park, it's an absolute joke, even without looking at the animal abuse controversy.
Rated so high? I just listed the nearby parks out. In no particular order. 🎢 glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching.
Not sure why you’d want to vacation at Niagara, except for maybe Babyboomers….
You do you and let the rest of us enjoy the rest of the world!
I’m Gen X and gonna check out Niagara Falls for the first time! 😊

Ehy does everykne point out "natural wonder" niagara falls is man made
Visited in winter of 2023....Frankly, very disappointed. way small scale than I expected. Waste of gas and money.

For how long?
