If you want to enjoy the Niagara Falls without all of the crowds, the spring is a good time to visit. The slightly colder weather tends to keep people away. Yet, as you will see, provided you go prepared for the changeable weather there is no reason not to have a wonderful time.
Book yourself a classy hotel room with a view
If you fancy staying in a luxury hotel, you can do so. There are several five-star hotels for visitors to enjoy. You can find out more about a really great one that even offers its guests a view of the waterfall, by clicking the link.
See the waterfalls by boat
Most years, the Hornblower boat tour reopens on 1st April, so you can get to see the waterfalls close up. But, make sure you are ready for the cold. If there is any ice left in the waterfalls the spray is literally freezing.
Take the Whirlpool Aero Car
Between April and November you can also take the Whirlpool Aero Car. It is one of the area’s oldest and most impressive rides. While there, you can enjoy the indoor water park, the casino, the wax museum, a haunted house and a theatre performance. It is the perfect place to head for should it rain.
Spend a day enjoying the Clifton Hill attractions
Clifton Hill amusement park is open year round. Although the opening times during the early spring are reduced. There is plenty to do and see there.
Visit Queen Victoria Park
On a day when you want to get away from the crowds, a visit to Queen Victoria Park is a must. Provided you go there at the right time, usually during the first few weeks of spring, you will be treated to the view of a sea of daffodils.
Spend some time in the Centennial Lilac Garden
If you like lilacs visit this park. It is home to 1,200 lilac bushes. The smell of all those flowers is wonderful. While you are there, take the time to see and photograph the famous floral clock. The botanical gardens are not far away.
Go berry picking
During late spring you can also go berry picking. The area behind the waterfalls is full of fruit farms that welcome tourists. Visiting one of them is sure to be a fun and educational day out.
Advice on the best time to go
You can visit the area at any point during the spring. But, the month of April is probably the best time to go.
Normally, by then the worst of the cold weather has passed and it does not rain too much. The flowers are in bloom and a lot of the local attractions, restaurants, bars and hotels will have finished any restoration work. Plus, most of the attractions that close for the winter will have reopened by then.
You also need to bear in mind that it gets crazy busy and a bit expensive during the Easter Break. If you want to know more about the events that are being held in and around the area when deciding when to visit, you can easily do so online.
