Niagra Falls - Better at nite or during the day?
 

Planning to go down to see the Falls... however never been at nite.

Is it a waste going at nite or is everything nice with some lighting effects and shit??

It's cool at night. Temperature wise and with all the lights turned on. I love the Falls. Need to go up and hit the casino again pretty soon.

are you going state side or Canadian side??? It makes a difference...

State side, you guys got the lesser of a view...Canadian side is beautiful during the day..tke a ride under the falls on the maid of the mist or go jet boating...

During the day there are tons of things to do musuems, and restaurants, and things to see.

During the night, it's jammed w/ tourists and locals hitting the bars and clubs..

The new Casino just opened on the Canadian side..gotta check it out!!

ps. I used to live 10 min from there so take my advice..:2 cents:

If you were planning to jump, I'd do it during the day, more tourists will be watching.

Theyre worth seeing at night AND during the day. I wouldn't miss either one. The colored lights at night are a bit gaudy, but still cool because of all the mist.

Make sure you visit the Candian side, the view is so much better and there is lots more to do. Take the Maid of the Mist around once and then eat at the rotating restaurant. The casino is quite nice as well! So, I'd say leave during the day and stay throughout the night!

day :thumbsup

Great advice guys :thumbsup
Im on the Canadian side... depending on the weather I'll probably check it out during the day. :thumbsup

You have to do both day and nite. The Canadian Side is the best. They Do have fire works but not every nite , you have to pick those nites, they are the best. during the day its just a big tourist trap:2 cents:

LMFAO!!! :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Do both.... experience the other attractions during the day and the falls at night. go up in the tower and see the light show, etc..... spend a whole day there....

They have fireworks over the falls...I think it is every Friday night and holidays. They start around 10pm but I would suggest getting there earlier to secure a good spot.
The new restaurants down on Clifton Hill are good...but not exactly cheap.

I would also recommend the Jet Boat ride based out of Niagara-On-The-Lake...nice ride and you can catch some whitewater in it. Bring a change of clothes, you are going to need it. They have to be booked in advance, but you can do that over the phone, they have a website
Jet Boats Go early and explore the little town. it has a ton of little shops and all the buildings are from the turn of the century. If you like jams and jellies there is a little place on the main street that sells every imaginable kind of jam and jelly there is...the strawberry and champagne one rocks...stock up...

Maid of the Mist is a must do. Top attaction on my list? The Bridal Veil Falls walk on the U.S. side. From the Canadian side it doesn't look like much...but you walk along wooden steps that go up the side of the falls and it is fucking amazing. Go up to the hurricane deck....far upper right corer you will see it juts out closer to the falls...go there...you will probably have to back into it....the water will feel like hail...but well worth it. Stand on the hurricane deck, put your face up to the sky and just take it all in...it is like nothing you have experienced before. It is also cheap...I think it is only about 5 or 6 bucks US and you get to keep the water sandals they give you. Save these for your jetboat ride so you don't ruin the sandals you brought with you. Hubbies didn't last too long but the rest of us were able to wear them for days and days.

Accomodations: Stay on Clifton Hill if at all possible...everything is there and it sure cuts out a lot of time walking. If you can't stay on Clifton Hill then you will need a place to park. Going up Clifton Hill from the Falls, before you get to the top where the train tracks are you will see a road on your left with a small green parking sign. Parking there is plentiful...trouble is most people don't notice it and it is CHEAP...(like 5 bucks)...if you park right by the falls ...they charge 12 to 18 bucks and while you are close to the falls...it is a good walk getting to where everything else is...so save time and park on the hill.

No, I don't live in Niagara Falls but I have been there about 20 times. Everyone should experience it a couple times in their life.
