For many people, visiting Niagara Falls is a once in a lifetime experience.
Packing for a trip to Niagara Falls can be quite tricky. Make sure that you bring all the essentials with you and avoid spending time in stores buying things you forgot to pack.
October is perhaps the best time to visit Niagara Falls, you escape the summer heat and winter has not completely taken hold. Average temperatures range between 40-60 °F (4-15 °C) during this time of the year.
The temperatures dip a little in October, but most vacationers find it manageable.
Always check the weather forecast before you leave for Niagara Falls.
Clothes: Casual clothes are most appropriate for a visit to Niagara Falls in October. Bear in mind that the clothes should be comfortable and should protect you from the autumn chill.
One should also keep in mind that the weather can change quite quickly in autumn, so it is best that you pack clothes that can be layered. This way, you can adjust your outfit based on the temperature.
Bring along a smart/classic outfit if you plan on dining at a fine restaurant or wish to watch some theatre.
Warm wear: You will definitely need a coat if you are visiting in October. Pack a coat with a weatherproof outer layer and warm inner layer.
Also pack scarves/muffler, a cardigan/sweater, gloves and caps for the colder evenings.
Having warm inner wear is also recommended if you are not used to the slightly cold temperature.
Footwear: Bring along comfortable shoes/sneakers as you will be doing quite a bit of walking. You should also pack a pair of sandals for attractions such as Hornblower Cruise, Journey Behind The Falls, Cave of the Winds or Maid of the Mist, where you will certainly get wet (walking around in wet socks and sneakers is no fun).
If you plan on dining in a fancy restaurant, many of which have dress codes, you might want to bring along appropriate footwear.
Rainwear: The area close to the falls is quite misty and will get you wet, so it would be wise to bring along a rain jacket with a hood to protect your hair and clothes.
Bring along a folding umbrella to keep dry from the mist, it will also come in handy if there are light showers.
Make a list of all the things you need to pack because you will have to buy anything you forgot to pack. Refer to the list while packing.
A little foresight will make your trip enjoyable.
