Tips for Niagara trip

Hope the following notes I compiled would help you.

Hotel Stay:

Book Hotels for one night stay well in advance.
You can either stay near to Niagara Falls or away at about 50-100 miles depending on your convenience.
Second night stay is optional to you based with how much time you spend at each attractions.
Roughly if you start at 11AM, you should be able to cover all attractions in 6-8 Hrs.
Maid of the mist and Caves of the winds will be open till 11-30PM in night.
Other attractions close at 7PM. Dont forget to see the night view which is open till 12AM (midnight).

Tickets :
Preferably plan to reach the Niagara Visitors Center at about 10-11AM where you will purchase Tickets ($28 for adults and $21 for Kids) to see all the attractions.
These tickets are valid for 6 months. You can cover remaining attractions on next day also. Plan your time well.

There are tickets from other private agencies also which are costly and time constrained. (Approx. 65$ for 4 Hrrs trip)
Do not go for them.
