Niagara Falls FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Which is better, the Canadian side or the American Side? The answer is a matter of personal preference, however the overall consensus is that the best views of the falls are found on the Canadian side. What kinds of accommodations are available? Accommodations range from affordable budget chain motels to luxury suites overlooking the falls. You can also find bed and breakfasts in Niagara Falls Ontario and Niagara-on-the-Lake Ontario. What is the prime tourist season for Niagara Falls? The prime tourist season is generally between April 1 and October 31. Many of the main attractions such as the Maid of the Mist are shut down for the Winter months. On the other hand, Niagara Falls can provide some spectacular scenery during the winter due to the freezing mist from the falls. Is there a fee to see the falls? There is no fee to view Niagara Falls. The sheer size of the falls makes them visible from hundreds of locations. There are fees for many of the attractions such as the Balloon ride, The Maid of the Mist and the Cave of the Winds. The falls are illuminated at night according to an illumination schedule published by the Niagara Parks Commission. There are fireworks shows during the summer. For more information, check the Park's Fireworks page. No, just over 12,000 years ago, a massive glacier 1 to 2 miles thick covered the area. Much of the current geography is related to the melting of the ice sheet |
