The Niagara Falls International Rainbow Bridge, commonly known as the Rainbow Bridge, is an arch bridge across the Niagara River gorge. It is very peaceful to walk on. If you are on the Canada side you will be able to walk to the whole bridge.

Amazing beautiful bridge especially since its on American side. Since the bridge is made and is on the American side makes it a little better! I love Canada too

Splendid bridge at the gorgeous Niagara Falls. This is such a grand and a very very important bridge. The road is well maintained and there are immigration checkpoints on both the sides of this bridge. Its aptly called as rainbow bridge which of course looks like a rainbow as well as it proves to be a beautiful rainbow between the two great countries USA and Canada. Also the name is perfect as we also can relate it with the famous Niagara Falls mist rainbow. Really awesome atmosphere and great views !!

We walked the bridge from the US to Canada to enjoy the views of the falls and the Canadian side. It’s gorgeous! Make sure to take a moment to pause with one foot in each country’s territory. Overheard on the bridge: “I wish every border was this easy to cross.” Amen and amen! May it be so.

Just crossed a to do of our bucket list - the visit to this area around Niagara Falls lives up to highest expectations. Both sides, Canadian and the USA, have their own amazing offerings of sights, foods, and accommodations.Our favorites include the Duty Free Shop in Canada, and the MADE IN USA shop in America.

Highly recommend! This walk to Canada gives you an opportunity to stand with one foot in each county AND a gorgeous view of the falls. In fact, The Canada side view In general is far superior. You do need a passport (both ways) and a dollar in quarters (on the way back) to make the trek. It’s 100% accessible, too, which is a major benefit!

Just a beautiful place to be. There are many vantage points to see this bridge from. Many beautiful spots in niagara as well.

It was a breath taking view of the falls and a cool way to go to another country. People are able to walk on the side. Just keep in mind that when you go back to US, the border officers are stricter and take more time, so add that to your travel time. Approximate waiting time at the border is 30-2hrs, depends on the rush hours and holidays.

Crossed through here both ways on a summer weekend and each side was quite efficient in terms of Canada-US border crossings - much better than I had heard it would be. Crossing into the US took much longer than crossing into Canada. There are wonderful views of the falls as you enter the US while you wait in line in your car for the booths, so have the camera ready!

Great Scenic View Can See A RainBow Almost Every Time

Niagara Falls is so AMAZING & BEAUTIFUL it is a BUCKET Off from your list for sure.....

If you have the opportunity to walk across this bridge I highly recommend it. You can see a clear overview of the Niagara Falls and also see the whole river. It is very peaceful to walk on. If you are on the Canada side you will be able to walk to the whole bridge. If you are on the United States side you will have to go through Customs to be able to see and walk the whole bridge. Again, recommend walking on this. It is also a nice view if you are going through Customs in your car.

Great expereince to see niagara falls. Be prepared to spend a few hours when crossing the border during peak times. Views are amazing... kudos to border security for keeping us safe!

What an awesome, amazing, beautiful place. The USA side, very nice, but to get the full view and experience the awesomeness of the falls, you have to visit the Canadian side. So many different places to see the falls, and then the fireworks. Just amazing. If you never been there, you will be shocked with the price of food and drinks. Almost $100.00 US for hamburger, french fries, 2 hotdogs. 1 beer, 2 glasses of wine, and 2 soft drinks. Again, for the views, just amazing

Quick to answer the phone, polite and helpful.

Really a beautiful spot! We were recommended to cross the rainbow bridge to enter Canada and Im so glad! It was absoutely beautiful! Getting into Canada was a short wait but getting back into the US was a little longer of a line. We made it though! Had a great time at the parks and took tons of pictures.

Walking over the water was both scary an awesome.

This is usually our go to bridge to cross the border. You have 2 options for crossing here. You can drive over or you can walk across as well. Depending on the time of day, this bridge gets you onto the otherside quite quickly as long as you have the right documents to cross. Going back into Canada will cost you $3.75 US or $5 Canadian whereas going back to the United States from Canada costs $1. Lots to do and see on the Canadian side from amusement rides, haunted houses, wax museum and zombie hunts and most importantly..has the better view of the falls!! The American side of Niagara is vacant for a lack of a better word. Abandoned houses and businesses everywhere, totally run down. Outlet malls are your best bet here, but the deals arent that good when factoring in the exchange rate. Better bang for your buck when $$ is close to par. Great for walking or cycling ...

This was cool, cool, cool.. Walking into Canada and standing on the bridge one foot in each country was super cool!! Read the signs carefully and be absolutely sure you have the proper documents to cross the borders they dont mess around and watched several people get turned back without their passports.

Landmark establishment of the area. You can have a stunning view from the ferry either you are from Canada or the USA. A bridge that connects two important countries in the world.I have a feeling to visit this bridge but later found out that it’s needed visas for visitors due to the strict immigration rules.

I loved the option to park on the American side and walk over. The view of the falls from the bridge were incredible. At the middle point there was a plaque notating the dual nation location. It was a bit breezy on the day we were there, but comfortable. It took about 30 minutes to get into Canada as there was only one person working. From what we’ve read & heard that is pretty normal. Going back over bridge to the American side you’ll need a $1 in either Canadian or American quarters. Getting back into the American side was really quick & they were very nice. If you enjoy walking this is a must experience.

Quick, easy access to Canada/US. Not much of a wait and the custom officers were pleasant, polite and efficient. You can also walk this short bridge and take awesome pictures of the falls.

Best view of the Falls. Take your passport and a bunch of quarters for the toll and stroll across for a new perspective of the Falls. Take some time to walk around Goat Island and try to head over to Three Sisters islands, you wont regret it!

Love the Canadian side of the Falls.

Its very nice to walk between USA and Canada on this bridge, the border passing is much simplier as a pedestrian than by car, there are long lines of wainting at the border. The scenery is beautiful!

REMEMBER TO TAKE PASSPORT/PAPERWORK. Costs $1 to enter the bridge from Canadian side. The view is spectacular on a sunny day. There’s very rusty sign to mark the border. It takes about 10 minutes to cross the bridge.

The Rainbow Bridge is a beautiful way to view Niagara Falls while crossing between Canada and the United States. The view from this bridge is breathtaking and not only can you drive over it but you can walk across as well. My husband and I recently walked with our dog from Canada to the US and back. It was so worth it! If in the area definitely take the time to make the walk across.

Cool bridge. Absolutely breathtaking views of the falls. Very friendly custom officers on both ends.

Beautiful bridge. Main gateway between cities.

What can I say that others havent?

Realy nice attention once you get to the Canadian side, nice to take pictures and a cheap toll on the American side ($3.75)

I had an unforgettable experience here with my friends in 2013. Five friends from five countries had fun here. The Rainbow Bridge is a nice landmark to experience. People on the U.S side could have conversations with people on the Canada side without crossing borderlines. That was really epic. We couldnt go beyond the borderlines into Canada , so, we made temporary friends with people on the Canada side and enjoyed our friendship while it lasted. I enjoyed watching the falls, and also enjoyed my cruise on the Maid in the Mist ship. Whenever you visit Niagara, make sure you see the Rainbow Bridge, and try to make friends with people on the other end

I had always dreamt of standing on this bridge and witnessing both sides. I enjoyed every second of the view on the American side. Then, when crossing the bridge I noticed that instructions considers only few countries for which reason I passed onward with much confidence that I could simply ask to see the view from the other valley. Surprisingly, the lady at the border toasted a document for me to sign it stating that I am violating the bridge law and did not even allow me to breath or speak! Neither did I have the right to keep a copy! Returning to the other side I realized the difference.

Beautiful bridge A lovely view of the falls and the main pedestrian border crossing. Entering both countries here is easy and cheap, though entering the Canadian side can take a while (20ish minutes) when lines build up in the middle of the day.Great bridge that is structured perfectly. Lines go pretty quick and it is a good place to take a few snaps.

Yeu can definitely take some amazing pictures from up there.

Incredible and amazing views of both falls. Fairly easy walk to Canada and back to USA. About 15 min walk to immigrations.Must have a passport or other supporting document to pass. You need to pay a toll of $1 in quarters at turnstile exit from Canada and get back to US!

The view while you wait to cross into the United States of America is simply beautiful and also some good people watching. The bad news is the line back into the United States of America is really long and take more time than other boarder crossing. However, if you have time to kill it is worth the wait. Be sure to get food on the Canadian side as the United States does not have much to offer

Bridge between USA and Canada. 2 lanes each side, speedy processing at the immigration. Duty free on both sides. Convenient and fast specially to view the Niagara Falls from the Canadian side, which has a great view.

Very good experience!! The view from the bridge is incredible. Bear in mind you are crossing international borders so bring your passport and other documents you need.

Although going into Canada was exciting, the long wait to cross the bridge (over an hour) ruined our good moods. Even coming back to the US at midnight was a very long wait!

The bridge is a beautiful place to see Niagara Falls. Note crossing into the US from Canada walking you need $0.50 to walk in quarters. You can take some great photos from here as well walking across. When going into Canada we chose to walk vs driving in and and we experienced Canada that way. It saved driving through the border. When driving across make sure you leave plenty of time as it can take some time to get across especially during the peak hours.

Awesome views over the falls on your way to Canada. Duty free shopping is nice and the Canadian dollar is worth less then the US one, so its a discount of +/-25% which helps on cigarettes and booze.

Rainbow bridge, loved the view. Not a terrible walk. Wear good walking shoes!

Its a bridge. I didnt fall off it. It didnt collapse. Ill give it 5 stars :)

This bridge is one amazing engineering structure which has its own of beauty and also beautiful view of Niagara falli highly recommend it to all to visit it at least once

Moderate traffic due to Covid but a beautiful view either way

Lovely view to Niagara falls! Very impressive!Easy to walk from one edge to the other, actually changing countries!

We decided to walk over the rainbow bridge into Canada and were able to watch the 10 PM fireworks over the falls.

Very easy experience to cross into Canada via foot. Beautiful views!

Cool activity and view but just remember to bring 4 quarters or a Canadian dollar for each entry.

Went in a Sunday around noon, and it was smooth, hardly any cars where there waiting. The only thing that I missed while doing my research about what and how to cross the Canadian/USA border was a permit that non Canadians need to have along with the visa. The entry permit is good for 6 months and its $6 per person. For that we had to get down from our vehicle, go to a very busy office, wait for 45-1 hr (with a toddler who was loosing it after such a long wait) but after that, everything was speedy. They way back home was hassle-free.

It is lovely , wonderful and amazing falls I ever seen, i view only US a side not Canadian side. Unfortunately I came before the season start, the River was frozen. Hopefully for the next time‏ ‏شلالات نياقرا ‏من أجمل شلالات العالم، ‏موسم الشلالات يبدأ في اواخر شهر مايو حتى شهر نوفمبر

Make sure you have your passport handy when crossing to and from Canada or USA side. Passengers seem to get out of cars to take selfies with the wonderful view of the Falls

Beautiful view of the falls, wonderful stretch of the legs to get across to Canada and back for only a dollar each

Wonderful place . Must see for everyone. I have been on both Canada and USA sides. The view from Canada is obviously more beautiful. Canada has a lot of activities. Stop by the Table Rock to get the best experience of The mighty Niagara Falls. Visiting both sides doesn’t hurt. A walk on the rainbow bridge would add to the experience.Maid of the Mist ride at night is my Best experience so far.

Great views. Well worth the $1 to venture out.

This place has to be the best place the cross that. Staff are always happy and friendly on the American side. Tired and worn out on the Canadian side, but I dont blame them. I just have to say that these people here are human and humane when they deal with people on either side. Thanks for being great

Cool bridge but both customs are slow

One of the most beautiful places to cross the border into and out of Canada! Love seeing the falls while waiting to cross and driving directly to Niagara on the Lake. It is a popular bridge so the wait times are often long, but I would say they are totally worth it! I would suggest coming here if you have the chance!

Waking from Canada side to USA side. Breeze fast on USA customer side around 5:30pm. It take 40 min on Canada customer side around 8:15pm. Nice view on the bridge and good to walk to Niagara state park on the USA side.

The Niagara Falls International Rainbow Bridge, commonly known as the Rainbow Bridge, is an arch bridge across the Niagara River gorge. It connects the cities of Niagara Falls, New York, United States (to the east), and Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada (west).

A key attraction in Niagara falls area, you can get a good view of the falls & pictures.Its in walkable distance. Definitely check this out

Very busy but crossing is cool

It’s a bridge but nice to walk across. Very nice view

Amazing experience just to take walk and cross border between USA and Canada. Please carry some change if you are crossing from canada and entering in USA

Nice view of the falls from directly above the river. Especially nice during sunset.

Amazing view of Niagara falls from the bridge! It takes less than 10 minutes to walk across the border to the American side. It was fun to go across.

Meh, aging infrastructure and lots of rude drivers cutting into lanes at the Canadian entrance. They should improve signage explaining buses and trailers are serviced on right side at the border check.Advice - try to get to left lane at the very beginning of the bridge.View onto waterfalls from border line is awesome, line moving extremely slow allows taking photos (but you may want to be in slower right side lane for that - your choice!)

Nice view from atop of the bridge looking at the falls. Its easy to walk across but be warned, Canada wants .50 cents to cross. I went on the bridge to take photos and return back into Canada. I also wanted a passport stamp since they dont give them when driving across. Basically it was a 30 minute wait just to walk through.

Easy way to vist the Vanadian side of Niagara Falls. Getting through customs on both ends was very easy with a US passport.

Its a bridge. It takes you from one country to another US to Canada vice versa. You can see the falls well from here. One thing to keep in mind is the $1 toll you have to pay when going from Canada to the US

A feiendship bridge which connecting Canada and USA. You can walk or drive to go other part of the bridge border. I must say this border control officers are very friendly. You just need to face one border control either USA or Canada during IN from both side.How to go: From USA goto Buffalo then walk or take commercial/private vehicle to reach to destination.

Very beautiful scenery and great view of Niagara Falls. Very quick and friendly border agents. Took 3 minutes just to cross to Canada

Iconic bridge linking Canada and USA. Worth a walk onto/across from either side to obtain a different view of each of the Canadian and American falls.(NB. Much renovation work was being carried out at time of our last visit. This prevented downstream views of the gorge but still enabled clear and worthwhile views upsteam to both Falls).International visitors should note that, if walking across from the more popular Canadian side, you will need your passport and will need to go through the tedious US border control on the far side of the bridge should you wush to enter the USA, to enable you to then walk to the (arguably much less impressive) American Falls.

Crossed it on a bicycle. No problem. Also walked it with family. Quick and easy both ways on foot or bike. To cross on bike you have to cross with the cars.

Half way to canada,great views.

Pretty secure, a nice walk. A plaque marks the official boundary. (Not the plaque below)

Nice bridge, went mini hiking down to the river and touched the old bridge! Amazing!

One of the nicest bridges to cross into Canada and then back into the States. The view is breath taking looking at the falls and down at the gorge. If you get a chance you can walk or ride a bike down the pedestrian walk way. Canada is so beautiful.

Good place to have a time pass

How can you not appreciate this iconic place and of course the shared falls.

Crossed the border between 8 and 8:30a.m. and was amazed at just how smoothly everything went. We had never crossed the border since it became more of a hassle and were pleasantly surprised. The line up was relatively short and quick to be processed. It made for a happy start to the day.

A must walk! Great views US and Canadian side.

Its was amazing there enjoyed a lot

Cant say how much we loved being on the bridge and watching the falls!! Went on a mid August Tuesday around 4p. Weather was nice enough for no jacket. Walk from beginning to end is about a 5 minute stroll. It took us 15 because we took hundreds of photos. Bridge is wide enjoy ugh for at least two wheelchairs side by side, so even though there were others it never felt crowded. Wait to get into Canada was about 20 minutes, as only a couple of people/families were allowed to go in at a time. Canadian Border officials were super kind. Process, once in Border office was leads than five minutes. Theres an amazing duty-free store that you can shop in before you leave Canada. Theres a Starbucks, hard Rock Cafe, coca cola and Hershey store(the only one in Canada!) directly across the street from the bridge.You cross into Canada for free. When leaving the Canadian side, you pay a $1 toll (in quarters) to get back onto the bridge going to the usa. Unfortunately, the usa border agent was not as was and welcoming as the Canadian one.We parked around ten minutes walking distance from the bridge for $20 us dollars.There was ample parking closer to the bridge, but I did not see the cost.I cannot wait to return. I absolutely recommended!!!

Nice to walk between countries...but slow to go through immigration

It was amazing. Be prepared for crossing border and have passports ready and have no weapons. Makes it easier with border patrol agents

The walk across was beautiful and safe and breathtaking!! Cant wait to do it again with my boyfriend this time

Customs were rude towards questions and treated us like dirt

AMAZING time! Cannot wait to visit again very soon!!

Beautiful views, from a different perspective

Really nice place

One of the best cross boarder experiences. Wanted to avoid rush hour and construction. This was an alternative to Peace Bridge coming back to Canada from Erie PA. GREAT DIRECTIONS FROM GALLERIA Mall (side trip). Waited only a few minutes for the car in front of us at customs. Short, thorough and direct questions and we were on our way. A huge plus after two days of shopping!!

We love the view of Niagara.

Beautiful bridge nice scenery of the falls

A nice view of the Canadian and US side, once youre in the middle..

This was my first time to Niagara Falls. Everyone told me to take the Rainbow Bridge across to the Canadian side for a much better view... and they were right! It is absolutely incredible! Seeing the massive falls at night with lights shining on them is so beautiful!

This is a must if you are at Niagra Falls. An easy walk from the US into Canada. The Falls are a must see from both countries. Dont forget your passport!

Beautiful scenery, but why does it take hours to cross this bridge by car ?

If you can cross both borders, this bridge have a very beautiful view of Niagara falls
