When is the best time to visit Niagara Falls Ontario?

• Answer:

  Niagara Falls is spectacular, no matter when you visit it. It might depend on what you wish to do. Obviously the spring, summer and fall months allow for much more outside activity. You can ride the Maid of the Mist boat that goes up to the falls, tour the botanical gardens, walk and shop the strip and take picnics or walks about the extensive parks and at night, dine on outside patios, and you can find a seat or grassy hillside to enjoy the fireworks or lights that are shone upon the Falls. In winter The Maid of the Mist shuts down and snow and ice are a big feature. The Falls is impressive as all the trees are coated with ice from the constant misting - it's quite the winter wonderland so long as you dress for the occasion. Since it's low tourist season there is less to do, but it's much quieter and intimate as a destination.
