Best Time of Year to Visit Niagara Falls Canada

Best Time of Year to Visit Niagara Falls Canada

Waterfalls are some of the most beautiful natural formations on this planet. Waterfalls are formed by rivers. Rivers flowing over rock cause erosion of the soft rock underneath which get dislodged and the river falls vertically along with the rocks, thus creating a waterfall.

Of all the waterfalls all over the world, Niagara Falls is perhaps the most recognizable. Located on the US-Canadian border, it can be seen from both USA and Canada.

Viewing Niagara Falls is free and it is open throughout the year. However, summer is the best time of year to visit Niagara Falls Canada.

Summer is the only time of the year when Niagara Falls is relatively warm and pleasant. Winter temperatures can drop to -10°C. Many attractions also remain closed in winter.

Why Summer is the Best Time of Year to Visit Niagara Falls Canada

If you visit Niagara Falls Canada in summer, you do not have to bring along bulky winter clothing which is essential on a winter trip.

Attractions such as the Hornblower Niagara Cruise and Whirlpool Aero Car remain closed in the winter, which is why most tourists prefer to visit in the summer.

Niagara Falls has many parks, which are best appreciated in summer when all the flowers are in bloom.

Most tourists visiting Niagara Falls also visit nearby Niagara-on-the-Lake, which is famous for its Victorian-era architecture, flower-lined streets in the summer, quaint shops, vineyards and wineries. The lovely town looks beautiful in summer.

Niagara Falls too looks grander in the summer when the water is in full flow. Another reason to visit Niagara Falls in summer is the short fireworks display at night on select days.

Planning Your Niagara Falls Visit

Enjoy the warm weather and all the attractions in Niagara Falls with a summer visit or vacation. Niagara Falls is just a 90-minute drive from Toronto, so a lot of tourists visiting Toronto plan a day trip to see the amazing sight of Niagara Falls.

Many tour operators offer day tours and evening tours of Niagara Falls from Toronto. With the evening tour, you can enjoy Niagara Falls illumination and fireworks.

If you are going to stay in Niagara Falls, Canada for more than a day, there are many attractions to keep you entertained. Read more about Niagara Falls attractions here.
