Niagara Falls Ultimate Getaway Roundtrip from Chicago
Six-day Lake Shore Limited roundtrip, Chicago to Niagara Falls
Amtrak Vacations runs this 6-day, 5-night roundtrip package between Chicago and Niagara Falls, Ontario on the Lake Shore Limited, traveling in Coach class. Of the 5 nights included, 2 are spent onboard the train on the overnight legs each way, and 3 are spent in a hotel near the Falls, with roundtrip transfers arranged between the Buffalo train station and Niagara Falls. The package bundles a Niagara Adventure Pass covering Journey Behind the Falls, Niagara's Fury, the White Water Walk, 2 days of WEGO bus transportation and Skylon Tower Deck admission, where the operator describes panoramic views of Niagara Falls' three waterfalls, American, Horseshoe and Bridal Veil. No day-by-day itinerary is published, and it is sold as an independent rail vacation rather than an escorted tour. This suits travelers who want the overnight train ride itself to be part of the trip, alongside a bundle of paid Niagara Falls attractions.

- The operator publishes no day-by-day itinerary for this package; confirm what happens on each of the 6 days before booking.
