Constructed in 1941, this iconic bridge has welcomed countless travelers across the border for decades. This morning, I was captivated by the unique perspective from underneath the bridge.

Planning Your Niagara Falls Trip? Here's My Ticket Advice

Image
One of the most frequently asked questions by people traveling to see Niagara Falls is whether to book attraction tickets in advance or buy them once they arrive. During the off-season months, typically from November through April, I suggest purchasing tickets on the spot, as lineups are usually short. In the summer months, when more tourists visit Niagara Falls - one of the natural wonders of the world - I recommend a slightly different approach regarding tickets: Buy boat tour tickets online in advance to skip the line at the box office. Reserve the Skylon Tower restaurant for lunch online , as tables can be fully booked during peak times. Book a winery tour in advance if you have a specific winery in mind. If not, don't worry—there are many great wineries in the region, so if one is booked, we can visit another.

Journey Behind the Falls or the Power Station Tunnel?

Image
Flexible Niagara Falls Tour At Niagara Falls, many visitors face a common dilemma: should you explore Journey Behind the Falls or visit the Niagara Parks Power Station with the Tunnel ? Both are incredible experiences, but if you're short on time or on a budget, you may have to choose. Journey Behind the Falls takes you through tunnels behind the waterfall, where you’ll witness the power of the falling water through observation windows and hear its thunder echoing around you. You'll then step onto a viewing platform right at the base of Horseshoe Falls—an unforgettable, up-close encounter. The Power Station and Tunnel offers a fascinating look into the history of hydroelectric power at Niagara. The experience includes an interactive museum and a walk through the historic tunnel once used for spent water. It leads to a platform at the river’s edge, offering a breathtaking view of the falls from below. In the photo illustration above, you’ll see both viewing platforms. The ...
