Parking Tips & Maps
Finding parking in the Clifton Hill Tourist Area and the Fallsview Casino Entertainment District is never a problem.....finding affordable parking, well that's another thing.
-
Public Parking is scattered throughout the city streets, most within a reasonably short walk to all the action. You'll find large public cheap Niagara Falls parking lots and cheap Niagara Falls street parking in the Clifton Hill tourist area, but only random street parking in the Fallsview District. Next to offseason rates in some of the privately owned lots, this is your cheapest option for discount Niagara Falls parking. Rates start at $1.50 / hour, but maximum stays vary from each area. Make sure you have CDN change on hand. If you're lucky, you just might land one of the rare metered parking spots located directly on Clifton Hill.
- Family Operated Parking Lots are a great option for that extended stay when you're on your way to Niagara Falls. Prices vary dramatically from both the day of the week and the time of the year. Cheap Niagara Falls parking can be found here during most of the year, but be prepared to pay top price during the summer months. Most private parking lots in these areas offer full day flat rates starting at $3 (weekdays in winter) and up to $20 (weekends in summer). These lots are manned during most of the day, but security is relatively non-existent after midnight.
- Hotel & Attraction Parking Lots are not a cheap Niagara Falls parking option, but they are very convenient options. Most of these lots are located in prime locations, only steps away from the many attractions, restaurants and of course on your way to Niagara Falls. Parking here will take a bite out of your Niagara Falls budget, as this convenience does come with a high price tag. If you can, book a great Niagara Falls Package Deal that inlcudes not only on-site parking in these busy areas, but free shuttle service to the numerous Niagara Falls Attractions. Flat rates can start at $5 (during the winter), up to $25 (weekends in the summer). Make sure you ask in advance as to how long you're allowed to park.
