Niagara Falls Travel Forum

I will be in Niagara Falls next week. From what I've seen and heard, the Niagara Falls Adventure Pass (5 attractions) is a good bargain. I know one can buy it on-line, but where does one buy it in person in the Falls area itself? At any one of the 5 attractions?

Thanks.

You can purchase your 5 pass at any of the attractions in Niagara Falls. This includes transportation on shuttles that run every 10 minutes or so...If you wish to stay at an attraction longer you just wait and take a later shuttle. Niagara Falls is a very tourist oriented city --but very small. Make sure you have hotel reservations in advance, because you probably will not be able to find a place on short notice. I hope you enjoy Canada as much as I do!

I know this is blasphomy as a canadian but save your money. See the Falls take Maid of the Mist which is a boat that takes you by the falls and get out. There is only casinos and arcade type stuff there. Total touriost trap. you are far better off to go and see Niagra on the Lake which is maybe 15 minutes away and has our great wineries. The hotels are nicer and the area is far better to look at. But I will tel you now that the food in both areas are way over priced. Unless you go to something very expensive you wont get anything decent. I know this sounds bad but other than eating at one or 2 of the wineries wich is cool cause you can try our wine and eat at the same time. I amlways hit a fast food joint because I am not getting blind sided with a ton of cost for crap food. This area is really touristy just be for warned. Oh yeah Jackson Triggs is my fav winery and gives you the most wine for lowest cost

I disagree, brandofan. While I concur that the *town* of Niagara Falls is one big tourist trap and should be avoided, there are a few things to see and do other than the Maid of the Mist. This includes walking behind the Falls and the other attractions on the pass. I have been to Niagara Falls about 4-5 times already. However, the last time I was there was over 15 years ago. My personal plan this time round is to see the attractions on the pass and then head straight to Niagara-on-the-Lake, via the Floral Clock. I have been on the Maid of the Mist twice, as well as behind the Falls. Also the Butterfly Conservatory was highly recommended by more than one traveller.

Well I guess everyone is differnent. I have not yet been to the butterfly conservatory or actually walked behind the falls actually never new you could do that but I still hold firm that if you hit Ontario there are far greater things to see. I believe Algonquin Park at anytime of the year is a gem that alot of people never mention. But hey I thank you for teaching me things about my own province I never knew. I will be going there just to walk behind those fallls.

I hope that with these replies that you do indeed choose to use the shuttle service. My husbands family reside in Nigara Falls and we take the grandkids on the downtown shuttle tour each year. With such limited parking in the city this is the only smart way to get around & the cheapest way. Have a good time!
