    Know Before You Go

    The Practical Stuff, Answered

    🛂 Do I need a passport?+

    Only if you cross between the USA and Canada (the Rainbow Bridge connects the two downtowns in a 10-minute walk). US and Canadian citizens need a valid passport or NEXUS/enhanced ID; international visitors should check the visa or eTA rules for each country. Staying on one side? No crossing needed — both sides are spectacular on their own.

    💱 What currency do I need?+

    US dollars on the American side, Canadian dollars on the Canadian side — but cards are accepted virtually everywhere, so cash is optional. Many Canadian-side businesses accept USD (change given in CAD at their own rate). Our planner estimates everything in USD so it's easy to compare.

    🚗 Where do I park & how do I get around?+

    On the US side, Niagara Falls State Park has official lots ($10–15/day). On the Canadian side, park once and use the WEGO hop-on-hop-off bus that links the falls, Clifton Hill and hotels. The core sights on each side are comfortably walkable — that's the best way to see them.

    🌦️ Will attractions run in rain or winter?+

    The falls never close, and rain barely matters — you're getting misted anyway (ponchos are provided on the wet attractions). Boats run roughly May–November when the river is ice-free. Winter closes the boats but opens something rarer: frozen mist, ice formations, and the Winter Festival of Lights from November to early January.

    ♿ Is Niagara Falls accessible?+

    Genuinely, yes — it's one of the world's more accessible natural wonders. The main promenades on both sides are flat and paved, boats board by ramp, and Journey Behind the Falls has elevator access to its upper deck. Select "step-free" in our planner and we'll build a fully easy-walking itinerary.

    📅 How far ahead should I book?+

    For June–August and holiday weekends: book tours and Fallsview hotels 2–4 weeks ahead — the best slots genuinely sell out. Shoulder season needs only a few days' notice. Everything we sell has free cancellation up to 24 hours before, so booking early carries no risk.
