We have been there when it was wall to wall people that was so horrible you had to walk sideways just to move on all floors. We went at 8am this time and it was awesome. All the stuff wasn't open yet but we had our run of the park and a front row parking spot in lot #1. No waiting in line for bathroom time was nice. True to NY fashion the baby changing station was even complete with graffiti in the men's room. If you have never been and want to see the falls go early in the morning and you will be much happier! By the time your walking to far everything will be open.

One of the best places I’ve ever been to. The key places to visit in Niagara falls state park are the observation tower, Prospect Point and three falls. The trails from the Niagara Gorge discovery center lead to other viewpoints as well. I liked the calmness of Niagara city as well. However the cost in American side is way more than Canadian side. If you have the option, they may want to stay over in Canadian side.

I got parking $15 for all day. Near to Niagara Falls and easy access to going at boat area. If you want to parking this place need to reach out before 9am.

Beyond any words . Where magic overcomes reality. Where night becomes shiny bright light hotspot on Earth. Where terrifying is adored with passion and 247 fashion. Just wooow. I will always come and visit this place.

Amazing view! Highly recommend going after 7 on a weekday. There was no crowd, parking was free, and the walk was really minimal to see the scenery! Amazing views that will forever hold a spot in your memory.

Very near to the park - ample spaces - filled up quickly on weekends and holidays. $10 parking fee but 5PM to 6AM free.

You have to get here before 0900 if you want a spot. By 10:00, hit or miss 😎 $10 all day parking on weekdays 👍

I’m sure this parking space is lovely — if you can find a spot. The parking system here will let you in even if the lot is already full, and it’ll be up to you to circle forever in purgatorial limbo until you get lucky. But good luck with that, since there’ll be at least a dozen other souls circling like hungry hawks, equally willing to dive into a spot to escape purgatory. It would be an exaggeration to say that hell is the Niagara Falls visitor center parking lot, since it is of course other people, but you can save yourself a lot of trouble by parking in the free lots on Riverside Parkway

It’s a never ending mystery as to how this place continues to excite you no matter how many times you visit. Their Cafeteria needs some good look. The staff were extremely rude and need to be more customer friendly and the food wasn’t great too..

Breathtaking….Mesmerizing…..and one of the Wonders most beautiful places on the 🌏Maid of the mist boat ride to Horseshoe Falls was awesome

We arrived at 7am so we didn’t have to pay to park. Even with ongoing construction around the visitors center it was easy to find your way around. A short walk to the area where you can view the falls and it was stunning!

It was better then I expected, it wasn't crowded that late fall day that we went but some of the vendors were closed up already., It is an amazing amount of water that is flowing and I whished I could see it when they divert water to the Canadian side for power generation.We did do the maid of the mists tour and while it's a tad pricy I guess you can do it once just so you can say that you did. You get wet and take home a blue paucho, (the Canadian version is red, go figure!) Theres plenty else to see, do espacially walk over to goat island and get an upstream view on the area and experiance just how fast the water s moving.

This is the best parking lot for easy access to all the attractions at Niagara Falls. The parking rates vary depending on the day, with a charge of $10 on weekdays and $15 on weekends. I visited on a weekend and was pleasantly surprised to be charged only $10.

Beautiful place! Nice park with lots of restrooms which is good when you walking with kids.

Great views on the American side but for a truly spectacular view you need to go across to the Canadian side.

If you have the numbers for a private tour it was so amazing and there is so much history and information about the falls that I never knew!

This place is absolutely one of the most beautiful sites on earth the falls ,the trees , the grounds good for photographs do yourself a favor and take the time in your life to see it youll be glad you did!!!!

One of the must beautiful places I have ever visit

Very convenient parking a stone's throw from Niagara Falls. $10 to enter, valid all day, payment is at the door. From the car park you can walk in a few minutes to the part of the park next to the waterfalls, and it is next to the Rainbow bridge to cross to the Canadian side.
