It may be cold, but there are still plenty of reasons to visit Niagara Falls in winter. Not only will you avoid having to wait in long lines and battle crowds of people but there are still plenty of things to keep you occupied!

Check out the Winter Honeymoon in Niagara Falls to find out more details about each stop.

1. The Niagara Falls (Day and Night)

Split screen photo of the Niagara Falls. The top frame is Horseshoe Falls during the day. The bottom frame is at night with the fall lit up in orange.
Make sure you check out the falls during the day to see its full glory and again at night to see it lit up. The colors change every so often and its gorgeous!

2. Louis Tussaud’s Wax Museum

Wax sculpture of Wonder Woman holding her shield out in front of her.
So many different wax sculptures. Some were creepily identical to the real people.

3. Ripley’s Moving Theatre

Paper ticket for 4 different attractions with Ripley's in Niagara Falls.
Sorry guys- no picture of the Moving Theatre BUT this is a pick of the combo deal we got with 4 attractions in the area. The Moving Theatre was entertaining but in my opinion, I would only go if it came as part of a package deal.

4. Ripley’s Believe it or Not

Ripley’s Believe it or Not was filled with so many different things. If you have never been to one, you should go at least once.

5. Nightmares Fear Factory Haunted House

Blue tank top that says "I survived nightmares Fear Factory" in red. It is next to a black T-shirt with similar words in the shape of a skull. There is also a card for the establishment on the blue shirt.
Our souvenir shirts and card showing we were brave enough to make it through Nightmares Fear Factory. This is the only haunted house that I have ever actually been scared in.

6. Journey Behind the Falls

Close photo up Niagara Falls from the Journey Behind the Falls. You can see the Falls from the side.
It was so cool to see Niagara Falls from such a different viewpoint.

7. Niagara’s Fury

2 wonder passes on light blue lanyards displayed with 3 brochures for Niagara Falls attractions with the middle one open.
No pictures of the movie, but here are the Wonder Passes that got us in to Niagara’s Fury and other places at a welcome discount! I loved the pre-movie it was super cute and the 4D experience itself had Danny and I laughing the whole time as we experienced the actual ‘show’.

8. Butterfly Conservatory

Large green vertical leaves fill the frame. There is a single butterfly that is orange and black with white dots on the tips of the wings.
The Butterfly Conservatory was a nice peaceful escape from the cold weather

9. Floral Showhouse

A white statue of three small children. This statue is in the middle of a pool filled with green plants and pink flowers inside the Floral Showhouse
Not only do you get to see beautiful flowers but there are also some cool tiny villages behind the building.

10. Clifton Hill

A man in a black jacket leaning towards a green frog with red eyes sitting on top of a Rainforest Cafe sign. They are in the entrance to the restaurant and the man is smiling.
This is the main strip with countless restaurants, stores, and activities. Cliff Street will lead you straight to Niagara Falls.

11. Hershey Chocolate World

Woman in a heavy leather jacket sitting inside a bench in the shape of a hollowed out Hershey kiss.
So much Chocolate! There are some bakery type desserts you can purchase here too.

12. Falls View Water Park

We didn’t get a chance to go due to unforeseen circumstances, but I imagine this would be a fun stop even in winter!

If you are looking for a great place to eat, I suggest Antica Pizzeria in Niagara Falls, Canada. It was recommended to us by a local and it didn’t disappoint!
