3 Reasons to Arrive at Niagara Falls Before 10 a.m.

Beat the tour buses Show up at 11 a.m. and you’ll be circling lots while families from three tour buses unload into the spot you were eyeing. Before 10 a.m. is the magic number on both sides of the border during peak season.

Avoid midday sellouts On weekends and holidays the popular lots fill by midday and don’t clear until late afternoon. Arriving later means you risk finding no parking at all.

Save money and walking time Drag yourself out of bed an hour earlier, or pay $30+ for a spot that’s a 15-minute walk from the falls anyway. The early arrival is the cheaper and more convenient option.
