Getting there

Car

If you are driving from anywhere within the Niagara Peninsula, take the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW) towards Niagara Falls. Follow the signs for Niagara Falls and take exit 30 for Highway 420. Continue on Highway 420, which will lead you directly to the falls.

Board the WEGO bus at designated stops and take the red route directly to the 'Fallsview' stop, which is a short walk from the main viewing areas of the falls.

Taxi or Rideshare

If you prefer a more direct route, consider using a taxi or rideshare service like Uber. Depending on your starting location in the Niagara Peninsula, fares can vary, but expect to pay around CAD 20 to CAD 40 for a ride to Niagara Falls. Ensure you confirm the estimated fare before starting your trip.

For the more adventurous, biking to Niagara Falls is an option. There are dedicated bike paths along the Niagara Parkway. You can rent bicycles from local shops in the Niagara Peninsula, with rental fees typically ranging from CAD 15 to CAD 30 for a few hours.
