From Jaunted: The Pop Culture Travel Guide:
Even though the winter storms have started to blow across North America, believe it or not that now is a great time to visit Niagara Falls. Ideally you’d want to drop by one of the nation’s biggest tourist traps during warmer weather, but if you’ve already been during the tourist season, then you’ll discover a new side of the place when things chill out a little bit. The Falls are obviously still doing their waterfall thing, but the Winter Festival of Lights helps transform the area into Canada’s largest lights festival.
Grab a cup of coffee from Tim Horton’s—there’s a huge one right on Clifton Hill—and head down to where the water is flowing. The falls are illuminated in rainbow colors for the holidays, and on certain nights, they even shoot some fireworks to close out the evening.
scenery wise….the falls in the winter is the BEST time to see..the ice is incredible!!!!…make sure you go under the falls to see the ice…or up top along the falls is kewl too..especially when the lightposts have icicles hanging off of them…just kewl….
