As you hop around the city & its attractions, you’d be taken away by the heavenly beauty of happily blooming roses [giving off superior romantic vibes], fields of daffodils [emanating jovial vibes], organized beds of chrysanthemums, violas, and mayflowers, and plenty of wildflowers. With so many flowers around, you’d be filled with contentment to the inner core – and who wouldn’t want to feel that?


The Day Temperatures are Ideal for Outdoor Fun

With average daytime temperature at 19.4°C (66.92°F), May-days are too pleasant for outdoor fun. It’s not cold, but not too hot either – and sometimes the temperature would be so well-balanced that you’d wish for it to stay like this whole year! Sun heat feels pleasant [though at times it may feel scorching, but such instances are few in May], and chilly winds blow occasionally to cool you off.


Nights are Cold but Vibrant

May also witnesses a full fledge come back of full-of-life & filled-with-energy nightlife [that slows down during preceding winter]. The average night-time temperature at 8 °C (46 °F) make May-nights perfect for night outs. You might feel a bit cold as you bop around the city, but imagine having freshly brewed tea/coffee on a May-night on a roadside café somewhere in downtown Niagara Falls – Eh? Too poetic? Well, that’s what Niagara Falls’ May-nights are! Didn’t like this slow-paced idea? No worries – Niagara Falls has endless list of night spots where you can enjoy fast-paced nightlife binge.


All Attractions & Destinations are Fully Operational 

Attractions & destinations closed down during winter season [due to off-season] become fully operational. This means you aren’t at the risk of missing out on iconic Niagara Falls experiences including Maid of the Mist (United States side), Hornblower Niagara Cruises, White Water Walk, Whirlpool Aero Car and others.


Tourist Footfall Increases

Tourists round the globe lurk for Niagara Falls winter to fade away and summer to step in – for summer is the best season to visit this place [exception granted to those fondly love winters and winter-outings]. In May, tourist footfall in Niagara Falls increases as peak season continues to set in. By default, this means the city getting more crowded. Well, if you’re a social person and love high-energy vibes you get from crowds, May is your month for Niagara Falls visit. But even if you aren’t a crowd-lover, Niagara Falls has plenty of slow-paced options for you ranging from botanical getaways to quietude at beaches.
