Also, book a couple of months in advance; remember, it's peak season. Expect long lines at Maid of the Mist, Cave of the Winds, and Journey behind the Falls; these are the most popular rides and tours.
September to November
If you just can't make it from June to August, we suggest you visit Niagara Falls during fall. However, some years see snow from late October.
The good part about these months is the low rate you can get for your rooms, and also, lesser crowds. However, once it starts snowing, certain activities are going to close down.

There's just so much that is relied on weather conditions, you can't be sure. Attractions such as Maid of Mist, Whirlpool Jetboat, and Cave of the winds are closed for winter.
