It is a beautiful view from this bridge looking over to the Cabausn side, the city lights and the Falls. Recommend go off -season to avoid the crowds. Bring a winter coat, hat and gloves and it will be fine. Niagara Falls is mesmerizing, it never gets old.

Thoroughly enjoyed our two night and three day stay in Niagara Falls. We stayed at the Embassy Suites on the Canadian side, falls view, 39th floor and the views were amazing! On our last day we walked from the Canadian side to the American side of the falls via the Rainbow Bridge. A moderate walk with easy access across the border. You just pay one dollar and show your passport. The round trip walk and viewing of the falls was around 7 miles, but there are plenty of nice park benches to sit and rest or gaze at all the water wonders. Snack vendors are available as well as gift shops. Such a miraculous place to visit!

Incredible views of Niagara Falls from this bridge. Loved walking with with my family, including stroller so definitely accessible. Remember to bring your passport since it is an international border. Also need quarters to return from Canada. Walk takes about 10 minutes.

Ride. The boat, walk the tunnel, have lunch in revolving tower restaurant for 39.00 including the 20.00 ride to the observatory deck. If you pay with us credit card is like 30% off because of the exchange rate.

The bridge allows you to walk to Canada and admire the falls from the front. On the way out, on the U.S. side, there are turnstiles to access the bridge, which pass without undergoing any control. On the other hand, when you arrive on Canadian soil, your passport will be checked very quickly. The reverse path is a bit more cumbersome. To leave Canada and re-enter the bridge, you must enter 1 Canadian dollar each in coins in the machine. Okay, there are also money change machines: you put in 1 U.S. dollar, and you get four Canadian quarter-dollar coins. The problem is that the two of us only had a $5 bill, and so we have $3 left in Canadian coins that are impossible to spend on the other side, so try to have exactly the cash you need By the way, the exchange rate is not at par, the Canadian dollar is worth much less than the American one. I suspect this is why you can't pay the toll by credit card, Canada would lose out. Back on U.S. soil, this time you do not pass the turnstiles freely, but a real customs check, with lots of questions about how long you have been in Canada, what you have done, and what programs you have in the U.S. Anyway, it's all pretty quick.

When you’re in Niagara Falls you will probably see the Rainbow Bridge. It’s not a multicoloured bridge, but a pedestrian and vehicle bridge that connects Canada and the US. This is a legal border crossing and you’ll have to go through customs in the US and Canada. You’ll need to have your passport (and any visas you might need for each country). Crossing as a pedestrian from NY to Canada is free and the reverse route costs $1 but make sure you have cash; there is a machine to get the change from if needed. Rainbow Bridge is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Typically, there are no delays in crossing on foot but traffic can impact delays crossing via car; especially during the holidays. The Rainbow Bridge is also great for viewing the Falls & Friday night fireworks.

From Horseshoe Falls we hiked along the Niagara River to Rainbow Bridge, which could be seen from afar. Take a passport to cross the bridge, as you enter the US on foot from Canada at the end of the bridge - it's funny. Costs: 11 US and close control.
