Niagara Falls Getaway Roundtrip from New York City

New York City to Niagara Falls roundtrip getaway on the Maple Leaf

Illustration of Niagara Falls Getaway Roundtrip from New York City

Amtrak Vacations runs this three-day, two-night independent rail getaway between New York City and Niagara Falls, Ontario, using the Maple Leaf train roundtrip in Coach class. Two nights in a Niagara Falls hotel are bookended by the rail journey, and admission to the Skylon Tower Observatory Deck is included, giving you an elevated view of the Falls. The evidence also describes a sightseeing boat cruise close enough to the Falls to feel the mist, though it is not listed among the included items alongside the hotel, tower admission, and train travel. Because the Maple Leaf runs as a single named train each way with no connection described, this is a simple route for a first rail trip. The operator's listing does not include a day-by-day itinerary, so this suits travelers who want a short, straightforward rail trip to see Niagara Falls from New York City.
