5 Reasons Winter Is the Best Time to Visit Niagara Falls State Park
- The park is open 365 days a year, 24/7, so you can visit anytime.
- Winter brings dramatic ice formations along the gorge that are invisible during peak season.
- Maid of the Mist and Cave of the Winds close from November through April, but viewing paths and the winter Cave of the Winds experience remain open.
- The nightly illumination of the falls continues all winter, adding a spectacular light show to the icy scenery.
- Fewer crowds mean you can enjoy the views without the summer rush.
