    The best time to visit Niagara Falls depends on your preferences and what kind of experience you’re looking for: 

    • Summer (June “ August): This is the peak season with warm weather, long daylight hours, and all attractions fully operational, including the Niagara City Cruise. Expect large crowds and higher prices, but also the most vibrant atmosphere. 
    • Fall (September “ November): Enjoy fewer crowds, cooler temperatures, and stunning fall foliage. The boat cruise typically runs until late October, making early fall an excellent time to visit. 
    • Winter (December “ February): Experience a magical, frozen landscape, with fewer tourists and beautiful ice formations. Some attractions (like the boat cruise) are closed, but Journey Behind the Falls and indoor experiences remain open. 
    • Spring (March “ May): Witness the Falls at full flow due to melting snow, with mild weather and smaller crowds before summer tourism picks up. Some attractions may have limited schedules in early spring. 

    For the best balance of weather, crowds, and attractions, consider visiting in late spring (May) or early fall (September “ October)
