Tips for visiting Niagara Falls with children
Start early at the falls, when it is cooler and quieter, and keep Clifton Hill for the afternoon and evening. Mid-week is calmer than weekends, and the WEGO visitor bus saves you re-parking between attractions.
- Pack a change of clothes if you plan to ride the boats
- Book boat tours and Journey Behind the Falls ahead in summer
- Come back to the suite for a rest, lunch or nap, since you are only 15 minutes out
- The Niagara Parks Adventure Pass can save money if you plan several attractions
