As more and more Ontarians get vaccinated, the province continues to cautiously reopen, allowing for more indoor and outdoor activities while gradually lifting restrictions. Needless to say, people have been dying to go anywhere after being stuck at home for the longest while — which is why I've been asked about Niagara Falls again. I still know of the same 3 options, with just a few updates, and I'll be using live links wherever possible so this guide stays useful even if you're reading it years down the road.
1. Take the GO train and back.
The Niagara Seasonal GO Train Service was back on track this year since June 26th, 2021, and runs on weekends and holiday Mondays.
The package basically covers your transportation going to and around the city of Niagara so attraction tickets are extra. Also, be mindful of the Train Schedule so you don’t miss your train going back.
2. Go on a guided tour.
This is perhaps the best way to experience Niagara Falls on a schedule and on a budget. For example, Queen Tour has a daily small-group Niagara Falls Tour from Toronto which includes the following:
Scenic drive through the Niagara Parkway and around the Niagara-on-the-Lake region
Free wine tasting in the Niagara Wine Region
Seasonal stops and photo opportunities at the Niagara Whirlpool Rapids, Queenston Heights, the Hydro Station, a local farmers market and other key locations.
During your free time, you can enjoy any of the below other attractions (cost extra) Niagara has to offer:
They’re also accommodating private tours.
3. Go there at your own leisure.
From Toronto East, drive approximately 1.5 hours via Highway 407 & QEW. No inclusions. All costs extra, e.g. gas, parking, tickets, etc.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, restrictions are in place — including some sites being temporarily closed. Also, online package sales are temporarily unavailable. Tickets are currently only available onsite in order to effectively manage capacity. Click here for more information about what is open and the safety measures in place.
