GREW UP NEAR ENOUGH TO THIS BRIDGE THAT SUMMERTIME WALKS ACROSS BRIDGE TO BABY HOLE BEACH WAS EASY BEFORE I HAD A CAR. WONDERFUL OLD MEMORIES. ( Now live in Reno, NV IN APT COMPLEX NEXT to the Truckee River where I can easily walk to banks FROM APT door & picnic with my cat.

Of the three bridges to Canada in WNY this is the largest. Timing makes all the difference between it taking a long time or being quick. The size of parties in vehicles and how well people are organized make a difference as well. You pick a lane and hope it moves quickly.

Not a bridge over troubled waters.....well done Peace Bridge....after several years of construction it finally looms finished. 3 clear and open lanes for those coming or going cross border. I cant think of a better way to get to or from Buffalo. Whether your going to get wings at the Anchor, watch the Leafs lose to the Sabres or the Bison hit for the cycle, this is the bridge for you. Keep in mind that the Duty-Free shopping on Canada side is arguably better than on the US side, but maybe theyll brush that up now that the bridge is done.

The Peace Bridge span the Niagara River connecting the United States to our neighbor to the north, Canada. Since crossing the bridge means that you are entering a different country, you will need to have your passport (or passport card) with you. The lines at customs, especially the return to the U.S. side has been getting longer. Rumor has it, the increased wait time is due to the relocation of CBP agents to the Southern border. As many of stated, at least when youre stuck on the bridge, you get a nice view of the river and Buffalo.

Great bridge to cross in Canada. Dont ask for a stamp for the kids in their passport. They took more time explaining that is takes too much time to do it than it wouldve taken to actually do it. no big deal. Border agents were friendly and do an amazing job keeping everyone moving and safe

Review №16

Rating a bridge is challenging. Physically the bridge did its job by allowing us safe passage. The bridge joins two countries that are both friends and neighbours. The relationship is complicated. The bridge and its name reflect the usual nature of the relationship. So, in the end the bridge is a important structure. Both countries are lucky to have it.

Great way to reach Canada and it is a terrific view crossing the Niagara river into Ontario. Even the process to go through customs was thorough but pleasant. Definitely if you are in the Buffalo area, you should take a ride over but make sure you have your passport or your enhanced license for entry.

An excellent bridge. Worked very well at keeping our car above water while also connecting 2 countries. If you are in the area and dont want to sink to the bottom of the Niagara River, the Peace Bridge is highly recommended and gives you peace of mind you can count on.

Service to cross the border could have been faster. Seemed like little movement, to the point where we changed lanes. Lucky it wasnt crazy busy this year.

They ask:1. Where you going?2. Why3. Who are you visiting4. Do you have anything besides personal itemsThats it and it was fast both times! Only saw 1 out of 50 cars get their trunk searched. Just dont carry anything illegal and your fine

Review №24

Very long wait at 5:25 PM, looks like at least 30 minutes or more when you first get to the bridge. They should have a timer giving you an ETA.

If youre traveling to either Canada, or the USA... and need to travel through the Niagara region, dont waste your time crossing the border in Niagara Falls. I mean that literally! Lineups at the border in Niagara Falls are insane!Instead, go to the Peace Bridge, where you can quickly cross via Buffalo, NY. Rarely do I ever have to wait in long lineups there. In fact, in the time that it takes for the average border crossing in Niagara Falls, you could drive to the Peace Bridge; cross over; drive to Niagara Falls (NY, or CA, depending on which side youre on); and then get a 20+ minute headstart to wherever it is that youre going to)

The bridge from Canada to USA runs across the Niagara River into Buffalo NY its the fastest way to the Buffalo Airport. You can get a great view of Downtown Fort Erie ON. Or Buffalo NY on the bridge!

The bridge itself looks good from the shoreline. Crossing the border was simple and easy. They ask you where you live, where youre going and why. Dont lie, dont take anything illegal across the border, have your passport handy and youll be fine. Crossing the border will take no time at all.

Well to be honest, this doesnt usually happen but this time, it was very fast to get over the border and we had a really nice officer on the way there and on the way back. It seems that were the lucky people that always get pulled over but this time it was smooth sailing!

Excellent experience going on a road trip to New York with my sister. It was the first time on the border for me.Jaja make sure you have your passport though to cross into Canada.We wanted to go to Niagra Falls and the GPS apparently guides you to cross the Peace Bridge to go to Canada It is so beautiful though, especially at night. Oh and the American side of the falls is so breathtaking and amazing in person.It was a dream of my moms to visit NY and see Niagra, so it was very special to see the falls on a roadtrip with my lil sis.

A good alternative to crossing at Niagara Falls because you can avoid the throngs of visitors during the summer tourist season. The bridge is steel and old and there has been extensive work done on it for all of 2019. There are 3 lanes and the center one is a flex lane meaning it can change directions depending if the flow of traffic is more busy southbound or northbound. The customs folks in Buffalo are usually quite nice and can be quite inquisitive about the smallest details, but usually only takes me / us less than 3 minutes to get waved by. On the Canadian Fort Erie side is the same, but they are primarily interested in how long youve been away (ie more than 24 hours) what you bought because there were a lot of same day cross border shoppers, especially when the CDN dollar was high or there is some Black Friday sale. The river below is quite swift and it is often windy. Once you are on the ramp to the bridge on the Buffalo side, you are committed to crossing the border. There is no other opportunity to veer out.If you found this review helpful in your decision, please click the like button.

Review №62

Im a commercial truck driver. I asked at the Queenston-Lewiston bridge if it made any difference if I used the Peace bridge if it was closer to my destination, or if I needed to reenter from the same bridge I entered at. They said it didnt matter at all and to use either bridge that was closer.When I crossed at the Peace bridge next trip, I was held at the gate for about 15 min without a word as to why. The person in the booth left and a new person came on duty... all without a word to me. Then I got a lecture from the new person that the rule has been for 3 years that I needed special paperwork to reenter at THIS bridge and when I inquired what papers those were, the person scoffed, Youre a truck driver and you dont KNOW? They then informed me that the whole conversation had been videoed and all my information recorded so I was without excuse to ever enter without the necessary papers again... without a word as to what any consequences might be if I were to forget.Extremely rude and condescending.

They treated me very well. Very professional Border Patrol Officers. Didnt take long. Needed paperwork to cross border in future. Nice place, comfortable atmosphere. There were some upset people up front but other than that everything was very nice. So was the lighting. As comfortable seating as your going to get for a waiting room.

I did a wrong left turn by mistake for the second time in the last 2 weeks but this time I just turned back in the middle of the bridge...

This is my second time crossing here on Greyhound leaving Canada and arriving in New York. Quick and easy experience. Plus all the police and border patrol officers were super friendly and helpful.
