Can people go over the Rainbow Bridge?


Can people go over the Rainbow Bridge? We receive many inquiries asking if you can walk out on the Rainbow Bridge to view Niagara Falls. The short answer is “yes” as long as you have your passport. Construction of the Rainbow Bridge started in May of 1940 and opened November 1st 1941.


Do animals go to the Rainbow Bridge?

The Rainbow Bridge (as beautifully encapsulated in a poem of the same name - see below) is a mythological place to which cats (and other pets) go upon their death, eventually to be reunited with their carers.


Is it better to cross Peace Bridge or Rainbow Bridge?

The Rainbow bridge can be hit or miss (as far as traffic is concerned), and The Peace Bridge, except for rare occasions, is usually quieter. If you know for a fact that the Rainbow bridge is clear, I would use it to go back to the US. The right lane offers some pretty impressive views of the falls.


Do you need a visa to go to Niagara Falls Canada?

Yes. If you're an international tourist [not from the European Union, Canada or USA], you'd be needing a passport with a valid visa to enter Niagara Falls on either side of the border. If you're a US citizen, you still need a passport to be shown as you re-enter the US after your Niagara Falls, Canada trip.
