The winter months can sometimes get a little quieter around Niagara Falls as people shy away from what they may perceive to be harsh weather at one of the nation’s most spectacular tourist attractions. However, rest assured that there are dozens of reasons to indulge in a Niagara Falls tour during the winter months.

During the tourist season from April 1st to October 31st, an agreement by the Canadian and American governments stipulate that the water in Niagara Falls flow at 100,000 cubic feet per second, bringing more than 12 million people to visit Niagara Falls. This drops to 50,000 feet per second from November 1st to April March 31st, which is the reason the Maid of the mist ceases to operate by Halloween each year. Still, there are plenty of other things to do when you take a package tour of Niagara Falls during the “non-tourist” season highlighted by The Niagara Falls Winter Festival of Lights. See why this attraction brings people from all over on a sightseeing tour of Niagara Falls:

• Niagara Parks Winter Wonderland includes more than two million lights and over 100 lighting displays including Enchantment of Disney, the world’s largest animated Canadian-American flag display, a “‘Twas the Night before Christmas” audio-visual display” and a Menorah display

• A beautifully decorated five kilometer route with more than three million lights stretching from Dufferin Islands along the Niagara Parkway adjacent to the Falls.

• A fireworks display over Niagara Falls occurs every Friday evening at 9 p.m. starting in early November and winding up on New Year’s.

• The Niagara Falls ice bridge is created by the mist from created by the falling waters that will freeze into layers of ice that create a bridge of sorts that’s known as an ice bridge.
