On Labor Day weekend is Niagara Falls less crowded on Saturday or Sunday?

Question

I want to start with a ride on the Maid of the Mist from US side late morning, then visit Crow's Nest follwed by Cave of the Winds. Then I want to crossover to the Canadian side and visit Behind the Falls. I only have a day, either Saturday or Sunday on the Labor Day weekend, and would like to know which of these days the lines would be shorter.

Answer 1

Out of both days really the line alone to get over the border will be absloutly mobbeed youll be stuck probably right from the tolls on the american side to the canadian side. both days will be equally crowded but yout best chance however small will be belive it or not Saturday only because more will stay overnight Sunday into Monday and thats when more will arive my suggestion really theres no other way then to get up early and do everything early. Then cross the border but both days WILL be bad crossings. My suggestion in the end is not do no go that weekend. It's like going to Marineland on Labor which some of us may know is a nighmare 20,000 cars were actually in the lots at once. Thats the same traffic youll get at the falls themselves.

Answer 2

Lets begin with saying that the Maid of the Mist goes from both sides.

Jim B. Doesn't know what he is talking about.

Second, Sunday will be less crowded but still busy as school starts two days later on Tuesday for the school children.

You can get Priority Time Ticketing for Journey Behind the Falls.

But why only do one attraction How about hte Fury Niagara's newest attraction, how about the White water walk or Aerocar....

Your better bet would be to do the cave of the winds on the US side early in the day and then WLAK ACROSS the rainbow bridge on the Canadian side buy the Niagara Parks Adventure Pass and do more attractions. There will be Fireworks on Sunday by not Saturday.

I live in Niagara-on-te-Lake and know what to see, when to see and how to see Niagara Falls.

Answer 3

Labour day week end is going to be busy on BOTH days.

The Maid Of th Mist tour boats only operate from the Canadian side of the river.

My best advice is to  be early.

Answer 4

Labour Day weekend will be CRAZY on the Canadian side. It is the highest grossing weekend of the year in Niagara Falls. You should be able to fit all these activities in no problem, just expect long waits at each attraction.
