Niagara Falls Nightlife

These are the horseshoe falls at night, the best viewing can be caught on the Canadian side. This is a great night time thing to do and rather romantic too! So grab your partner and your camera and head over the bridge to the Canada side and enjoy the show! The time is from dark to about midnight and the lights change about every 15 minutes or so. It gets very cowded and some times you may get wet from the mist depending on how strong the wind is and what direction it is blowing. Bring extra batteries!

You must go see the falls at night, they light them up and change the colors every 15 minutes. This is a very cool thing to do at night if your not into the party thing or gambling. It usaully last about 3 hours or so. They shine some very bridge lights on the falls from the Canadian side on both sets of falls. Depending on the time of year will depend on what time and for how long. Bring your camera and a tripod if you have one so you don't have camera shake and you will get some very nice shots.

Every evening at 10:00 p.m. there is a fireworks display over the Falls. Grab a seat at the Red Coach Inn's outdoor patio, have a drink or coffee, and watch the splendor. It's an excellent view.

We stayed at the Holiday Inn. The bartender there used to work for the Red Coach and, coincidentally, an elderly gentleman sitting at the bar was once the head chef. They had wonderful stories - I could have sat and listened all night, but my intention was to get a nightcap for hubby and me and return to the room.

According to the these gentleman, the Red Coach has the freshest seafood, flown in daily from Boston. Had our stay been longer than one day, I would have liked to sample it.

Dress Code: Anything goes - dress according to the weather.

If you're a sports fan the Niagara University men's basketball team is worth the $7 ticket price. The Purple Eagles are competitive in the NCAA and are looking to make the March Madness tournament this year for the first time in 30 years. The level of play is exciting and the campus is beautiful. The hockey team is also nationally recognized and play on campus as well.

Dress Code: None

There are three casinos in the area. One on the American side and two on the Canadian side. Any one should entertain you for an evening. They usually have some form of entertainment at night as well. Bill Cosby just performed at the casino on the American side.

Dress Code: Come as you are.
