Plan your trip to Niagara Falls during the off-season. This season can vary for different hotels; however, it generally runs from November to the end of March, when the flow of water over the falls is reduced by half. Call the hotel you plan to stay at and ask what discount rates are available for the offseason or weekdays.
Request a copy of the Niagara Super Saver coupon book. This book has special deals on many activities, restaurants and hotels in the Niagara area. You can also sign up for text alerts to get coupons straight to your cell phone.
Cross the bridge from the USA to Canada as little as possible. If you plan to visit both sides of the falls, try to plan all your activities on one side before crossing to avoid paying multiple tolls. If the weather is nice, you can cross on bicycle or foot for only 50 cents.
Scout out the welcome centers and hotel lobbies for coupon books. On the Canadian side, check the park welcome centers were you can buy an all-day Peoplemover Pass.
Avoid exchange rates by using your credit card to pay for things out of your country. This guarantees you the most accurate exchange rate, giving you the most for your money. Check your credit card company's policy first, because some companies charge additional fees for currency conversion.
Combine entertainment with dinner by eating at the Skylon Tower. Admission and the ride to the observation deck are included with dinner.
Avoid going to the casinos for entertainment. If you do, plan on a set amount to spend and leave when you have reached your limit. It you have to, leave your credit cards at home, so you are not tempted to overspend.
