 Take the trolley by tpangelinan You can take the trolley to catch all the views around the Niagara State Park for only $2.00 all day. You can get on and off all day with no issue, they give you a wrist band to wear which I the rebel put around my belt so I wasn't stuck with it on my arm all day and could take it off when I felt like it. If you are handicapped this is a great way to see the sights, it take you all through the park and over to Goat Island also. You can get on the trolley any where in the park and pay at the next station. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

by Cielo_Algaeed The Niagara Scenic trolley runs throughout the whole park with designated stops (stops are close to major attractions). You can purchase it seperately for $2.00 which entitles you to hop on and off the whole day and you will be given a wrist band to wear. You can get on the trolley and pay at the next station. During the ride, there is a tourguide who will tell you more about the park, the Falls and its islands. Its a very relaxing way of seeing the whole state park. Note: A whole day trolley ride is also included in the Passport to the Falls ticket. If purchsed seperately: Adult: $2.00 Child (6 to 12): $ 1.00 Children 5 and below are free

 Walking bridge to Goat Island by tpangelinan There is a really nice walking bridge to get over to Goat Island that crosses over the fast moving rapids, it's very wide and you can bike over too. Goat island is the access to Luna Island, Three Sisters Islands, Luna Island, Terrapin Point and the Horseshoe Falls. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Explore Niagara Falls State Park in the comfort of the Niagara Falls Scenic Trolley. Enjoy an overview of the park in half an hour as a knowledgeable guide shares the history of the park with you along the three-mile route, or get off at each of the six stops and explore the Niagara Falls attractions. The Niagara Falls Scenic Trolley is a favorite because they allow you to see the park while you relax and enjoy the ride. Each vintage-style trolley is equipped with modern conveniences and tickets are available at various locations throughout the park, so you can zip from one Niagara Falls attraction to the next. Trolleys run every 30 minutes First trolley starts - 9 a.m. Last trolley starts - 11:30 p.m. Ride all day for just $1 visiting downtown Niagara Falls USA hotels and attractions. Just purchase a Trolley Day Pass when boarding. It is valid for one adult and two children, age 11 and under. Senior citizens (age 65+), disabled and Medicare cardholders with valid ID pay 50 cents. Exact change is required.

 Scenic Trolley in the background by Faiza-Ifrah Although there could be a convenience factor when little ones are along for the ride, but we discovered that during American long weekends, they can become jam packed. It is then better to hike then to ride the trolleys. However, even when they were crowded, we had to take the trolley to cover one long stretch from Parking Area P3 to Parking Area P1. The trolleys make six stops on a three-mile route. We could have stayed on for the full 30-minute loop if it were not very crowded, but we took advantage of the hop-on/hop-off system.

by Krystynn If you go BY AIR: You have to fly into either Toronto (Ontario) or Buffalo (New York). Bus and train service(s) are available directly to Niagara Falls from the airport. The plane ride from NYC to Buffalo is just 45 minutes (flight time). But from terminal to terminal check-in and check out it will usually take 3-4 hours... and that is only if there are no delays! Maybe you've already guessed... yes, we took this option. If you go BY TRAIN: The train station is approximiately 5 miles from the Falls. The train ride is relaxing if you have the luxury of time to spare.... and the ride is about 8-9 hours long and costs US$58.00 each way. There are usually four departures daily starting from 7:00 A.M until 4:00 P.M. Amtrak offers service from Penn Station in Manhattan. You may wish to surf to Amtrak's website to check their daily schedule. And it should costs you US$10 for a cab ride from the train station to the Falls.... If you plan TO DRIVE: God bless you... It's gonna be a long drive! New York City is 406 miles from Niagara Falls. So, it will take you about 6.5 hours to drive from NYC to Niagara Falls.... If you plan to TAKE A BUS: Greyhound has a bus service to Niagara Falls. And this route takes about 9-11 hours. The fare is roughly US$55.00 one way or US$105.00 for a round trip ticket. You can surf straight to Greyhound's website to check on their departure times but be warned - the ride is exceptionally long. :-( Theme: Train

Tour buses from either side of the border will get you there. You can fly into Buffalo or Toronto (the closest major cities to the falls, and bus there or rent a car. I drove my own car, as I was on a Canadian mini-tour. From Hamilton, it is less than an hour's drive, and from Toronto, perhaps an hour, hour and 15 minutes depending on traffic and weather conditions. Walking is the easiest way around the falls area. Nothing you will want to get to will be more than 10-15 minutes walking. I do not recommend driving during peak times as the pedestrian and car traffic increases. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

If you are in reasonably good shape and enjoy walking, then I do not recommend you take the Niagara Scenic Trolley. You may end up spending a lot of your time waiting for a ride. However, for some the Trolley might be just what the doctor ordered. At the Visitor Center you can purchase an all-in-one admission to the six major attractions in and around Niagara Falls State Park, and it also includes a Trolley pass. You'll save 20% off single admission prices, so if you want to see everything - and why not - you may want to get the "Passport to the Falls." The Trolly circles Niagara Falls State Park, and has stops at or near all of the major attractions. Leave a Comment

by GUYON There is an heavy traffic in Niagara. As we progressed and we were closer to the Falls the price of the parkings were increasing. The first one was at 5$CND, then 7$ and close to the falls : 10$. The streets are crammed by touristic shops, all tourist traps. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

by Maggies You can take a plane to Bufallo Airport - 32 miles from NIagara Falls. Driving a car from east take I-290 West to I-190 North and follow sign to Niagara Falls. Walking is the best choice here. Theme: Other
