When is the best time to go to Old First Ward?

The best time to visit Old First Ward is during the spring (late April to early June) and autumn (September to October) months. These seasons offer pleasant weather with comfortable temperatures, making it ideal for exploring the area's outdoor attractions and walking through the historic streets without the extreme heat of summer or the chill of winter. The spring brings blooming flowers and a fresh feel, while autumn is known for its beautiful foliage, adding to the district's visual appeal. Couples often find these times particularly romantic for strolls along the waterfront or enjoying outdoor dining. The milder temperatures are superb for visiting local breweries or the nearby Canalside district, which hosts various events during these shoulder seasons. Solo travellers will also appreciate the comfortable conditions for independent exploration of the neighbourhood's art installations, architecture, and local eateries.

Quality Hotel & Suites At The Falls

8/10 Good

"Amia at the front desk was so incredibly helpful. She really made this stay enjoyable! The bar was awful the food was awful, the pool was too dirty to swim in but there's so much in the area to do we didn't really care. The location cannot be beat! We walked everywhere we wanted to go. Definitely would stay again!"

Cambria Hotel Niagara Falls

10/10 Excellent

"This was a very nice place to stay probably one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at. We stayed 3 nights with adjoining rooms. Very comfortable. The hotel did get pretty busy when we stayed and the rooms were very quiet with very minimal noise we could hear. Short walk to casino and to the park. Beds were very comfortable and room was super well maintained and clean. No issues with hot water. Water pressure was a little weak but still acceptable. Great place to stay with a family. The bar and restaurant were very good also. If we ever go back I would plan my trip around being able to stay at this hotel."

Hyatt Regency Buffalo / Hotel and Conference Center

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay at the hotel. Although the neighborhood is sketchy at night. Had 2 different incidents where sketchy individuals tried to get my attention. The first to ask for directions and do I know my way around the neighborhood? Second, strange couple, tall black man and young white woman in a wheelchair. Both were trying to initiate contact but I am from NYC so I was able to easily handle that, but others should be aware. Also the next morning I was awakened by 3-5 children using the hallway as their playground by some unscrupulous parents. When I called downstairs, they immediately sent security and it was taken care of."
