About
Niagara Falls sits on the border between New York and Ontario. The Canadian side has a Chabad welcome centre for visitors, and the US side has the state park. Kosher food is limited, so bring food or check with Chabad first.
Best time to goMay–Oct for the boats and trails; the falls are also striking in winter.
Local time
Before you goPlaces come from OpenStreetMap and can change. Call ahead for minyan and Shabbos meals, and check the hechsher yourself.

Walking times are estimates: straight-line distance × 1.3 at about 80 m a minute. Driving times are road routes without traffic (OpenStreetMap routing); where a route is missing we show “≈”, straight line × 1.4 at city speed. No prices or ratings here; each hotel links to Google Maps reviews and a Booking.com search.
