Your daily guide to both sides of the Falls

Today's Weather

NY side: showers are continuing this afternoon with a possible snow mix creeping in late — high of 46°F. Ontario is tracking nearly identical: cold, wet, and breezy. Layer up, bring waterproof boots, and save the gorge hike for a sunnier day — today is an indoor day, full stop.

Eat Today

🍷 Weinkeller — weinkeller.ca

A rainy Sunday in March calls for a cozy brick-walled basement, and Weinkeller delivers exactly that — house-made wines, hearty bistro fare, and a warm vibe that'll make you forget it's sleeting outside. It's a local favourite on Victoria Ave that tourists somehow keep missing. Go for the wine flight and stay longer than you planned.

Do Today

⚡ Niagara Parks Power Station & Tunnel — niagaraparks.com

A cold, grey Sunday is the ideal day to go underground. This restored 1905 hydroelectric plant takes you through industrial history and down a 180-foot glass elevator into a tunnel beneath the Niagara River — no poncho required. Book tickets online in advance (Adults $33 CAD); it sells out even in shoulder season.

Stay Tonight

🏨 The Brock Niagara Falls-Fallsview — thebrockhotelniagarafalls.com

Niagara's only Fallsview boutique hotel just wrapped a $15M renovation and it shows — historic bones, sharp modern rooms, and the excellent Prime Steakhouse right downstairs. Perfect for couples who want character over cookie-cutter. Insider tip: corner Fallsview rooms offer surprisingly dramatic angles of Horseshoe Falls.

Quick Tip

Winds are running 10–15 mph from the west today, which means extra mist spray at all open viewpoints — great for drama, bad for camera lenses. Pocket a microfibre cloth or grab a zip-lock bag for your phone before heading out.
