Niagara Falls

For a unique view, I suggest heading to the observation tower in the evening. Catching the sunset over the falls was breathtaking! Just don't forget your camera. It’s a memory you’ll want to keep!

check out the cave of the winds experience! it's super fun and a bit more exciting than i expected. just be prepared to get wet, but hey, it's worth it for the views and the thrill!

If you can, visit on a weekday instead of a weekend. I found the crowds to be way more manageable, and you get better photo op without a ton of people in the background. Trust me, you'll thank yourself later!

Don’t forget to try Tim Hortons while you’re there! I found a location nearby and it was a great way to grab a quick coffee without breaking the bank. Perfect pick-me-up while exploring!
Niagara Falls State Park

My advice is to visit during weekdays if you can. The crowds were way less on Wednesday, which meant shorter lines and a more relaxed vibe when checking out the falls.
Ripley's Aquarium

If you can, avoid weekends. It gets super packed and hard to see everything. Try a weekday instead for a more chill vibe.
Bring a camera, but keep your phone handy. You'll want to snap pics of the amazing sea life, but I found it's easier to pull out your phone for quick shots when it's busy.

I suggest visiting right when they open at 9 AM. The crowd is way smaller then, giving you the chance to enjoy the exhibits at your own pace without the rush.
Woodbine Beach

I think bringing your own beach chairs or a blanket can be a game changer! Renting those can get pricey, plus it helps you snag a good spot for a full day of hanging out

I suggest grabbing a bite at one of the food trucks before hitting the sand; the poutine is amazing! Plus, you'll save time and money compared to the sit-down restaurants nearby.

Keep an eye out for events happening at the beach! When I visited, there was a fun beach volleyball tournament that I hadn’t known about and it made the vibe so lively.
Horseshoe Falls
High park

I suggest visiting the cherry blossoms in early April if you're around then. They're stunning and it makes for great photos! Just be prepared for crowds during that time.

If you have kids, the playground is awesome, but don't miss the zoo! It's small but free. I was surprised how much my kids loved seeing the animals up close.

I recommend going on a weekday if you can. Weekends get super busy and you'll spend more time searching for parking than actually enjoying the park.

Bring a picnic! There are tons of nice spots to sit and enjoy a meal, plus it's a way to save some cash. I packed snacks and saved money instead of eating at the park's vendors.
