Travel hacks & tips
- Time zone: On the Canadian side of the border, Niagara Falls follows the Eastern Standard Time (EST) in winter and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) in summer, just like its American neighbor. Across the river, Niagara Falls, New York, observes Eastern Time (ET). This translates to UTC-5 during Standard Time and UTC-4 during Daylight Saving Time.
- Currency: The primary currency used in and around Niagara Falls is the Canadian dollar (CAD). While most businesses will accept American dollars, you will get the best value by paying in Canadian currency.
- Area code: 905

Summer (June to August) is a fantastic time to visit Niagara Falls, with temperatures ranging from 70°F to 80°F (21°C to 27°C). This is peak season, which offers a lively atmosphere with all attractions open, including boat tours to the base of the Falls. It is a bustling time to experience the Falls, so be prepared for larger crowds and higher prices.
For a more tranquil visit, consider the shoulder seasons of late spring (May to June) and early fall (September to October). During these times, temperatures are pleasantly mild, ranging from 50°F to 70°F (10°C to 21°C). While some attractions like the Cave of the Winds, Whirlpool Aero Car, and the Zipline may have limited availability, you'll benefit from fewer crowds and lower costs and really take in the region’s natural beauty without the hustle and bustle of peak tourist season.
