How Many Days Are Needed in Kingston, Ontario

Kingston is a flexible destination suitable for various travel styles.

Day Trips: If your itinerary includes Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal, Kingston makes an ideal stopover. Spend a day exploring downtown and the waterfront, and take the tram for a quick Kingston city tour.

3 Days: This is the perfect amount of time to fully appreciate the city's historical sites and museums, and to take a tour of the Thousand Islands.

The Weather in Kingston

Summer: Kingston's summer months from June to August feature warm weather, with average temperatures ranging from 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F). Ideal for beach activities and boat tours in Kingston, Ontario, this is also the best time to visit.

Autumn: Secondly, autumn from September to October offers beautiful maple leaves to admire, with average temperatures ranging from 7°C to 15°C (45°F to 59°F).

Spring: Temperatures begin to warm from March to May, ranging between 4°C and 12°C (39°F to 54°F). However, this period sees fewer tourists and is considered the off-season for travel.

Winter: From December to February, the weather is cold with frequent snowfall, and temperatures can drop to -8°C to -1°C (18°F to 30°F).

Get Around Kingston

Best Time to Visit Kingston

Winter 2026/2027
Kingston's winter will bring snowy weather, with average temperatures ranging from 37 to 13 °F (3 to -10 °C). The proximity to Lake Ontario brings significant snow and high winds, but also offers unique winter activities. You can enjoy outdoor ice skating at the historic Springer Market Square right downtown or embrace the cold by exploring nearby Frontenac Provincial Park for skiing and snowshoeing. The city’s historic "Limestone City" architecture looks particularly beautiful under a blanket of snow. Winter is the least crowded and most affordable time to visit, perfect for history buffs to explore the warm interior of the Fort Henry National Historic Site or enjoy the cozy atmosphere of a traditional pub.
Show All
Spring 2026
Spring gradually warms up but remains unpredictable, with early spring still feeling like winter, averaging temperatures between 50 and 63 °F (10–17 °C). This is an ideal time for historic walking tours and enjoying the city before the intense summer humidity arrives. Highlights include the reopening of 1000 Islands Cruises, allowing visitors to view the scenic St. Lawrence River islands, and exploring the newly blooming grounds of Queen's University campus. The moderate weather is perfect for cycling along the Great Lakes Waterfront Trail or exploring the Kingston Public Market, Ontario's oldest continually running market, as fresh local produce begins to appear.
Show All
Summer 2026
Summer, Kingston's peak tourist season, offers the warmest and most comfortable temperatures for water activities and outdoor sightseeing, ranging from 72°F to 77°F (22°C to 25°C). This is the best time for water-based excursions, including kayaking, paddleboarding, or taking a sunset dinner cruise to explore the famous Thousand Islands. You can spend time at Breakwater Park or Grass Creek Park Beach, or take a fascinating guided tour of the decommissioned Kingston Penitentiary. The city's downtown core thrives with energy, hosting major festivals like the Busker Rendezvous and the Princess Street Promenade. Of course, you can also visit Niagara Falls during the ideal season to witness the spectacular water flow.
Show All
Autumn 2026
Autumn in Kingston brings fewer tourists, blending comfortable, crisp air with breathtaking natural scenery. Temperatures range from 69 to 45 °F (21 to 7 °C). The main draw is the fall foliage across the region, which is best viewed on a scenic Thousand Islands cruise or by hiking through Lemoine Point Conservation Area or Frontenac Provincial Park. Tourist crowds significantly decrease after the Labour Day weekend, offering a more relaxed atmosphere for exploring the historic sites, such as the Bellevue House National Historic Site. The season is perfect for enjoying local craft breweries and distilleries, attending the Kingston WritersFest, and experiencing the start of the spooky Haunted Walks and tours through the city's ancient.
