I visited the Niagara Falls NY Amtrak Station in late August/Early September 2022. This is the first or last stop in the US/NY before crossing over into Niagara Falls Canada. If you’re coming into the US/NY be sure to fill out your customs form. Coming from Canada once you arrive at this station, everyone has to get off the train with all your belongings including luggage to go through customs. Once we were cleared through customs we went upstairs to the station where we waited to board the train to continue our journey. The station was very clean and spacious with plenty of seating. There are vending machines to purchase snacks and beverage which accepts cash or card. There is an information desk as well with Amtrak employees to assist and answer any questions you may have. The information desk also has a map of the Niagara Falls area. There is a ladies and men’s room. The ladies room gets really crowded as there is only 2 stalls inside. Surprised to have a limited number of restrooms.

A peaceful place to wait for delayed transportation. Friendly staff and clean facilities. Attached to a wonderful museum about the Underground Railroad. [Closed on Mondays].

Very clean station and efficient immigration processing. My passport had some issues in the digital system because of some mishaps at Pearson airport (absolute chaos, 6 hour long line, missed flight) and the CBP officer here went out of his way to get my passport processed manually.

An official U.S. Passport and/or an enhanced drivers license from NY state. If you have a passport, that is the best ID to use.

I dont understand Amtrak website (im from argentina). It looks like some trains departure at 3:52 am? How can that be possible, i mean the station opens at 7:30! Or maybe i am misunderstanding the website? What is 3:53a ?

I'm traveling for my birthday weekend...is there a currency exchange booth at the train Station?

If you're staying in Niagara Falls NY then America cash is accepted everywhere. However in Niagara Falls Canada you will most likely need both currency as it tends to fluctuate and certain credit cards don't always work over the border. As far as the closest currency exchange I would suggest finding a local bank rather than a mall to get your money exchanged.

what's the best way to go from amtrak niagara falls new york to embassy suites in niagara falls canada

anthony randall | Oct 28, 2019
Teria Armstead-Busby | Oct 28, 2019

We stayed on Buffalo side I would see if a bus goes through. Waiting to go through SECURITY into Canada takes a long time and a cab would cost a fortune. Amtrak goes directly into Canada so that's the best option.

Which taxi service is available at the station?

Theresa Hopper | Oct 28, 2019

The US and Canada don't care about you leaving their country, just entry. By the way the Whirlpool Bridge is Nexus ONLY.

Jessica Vandewall | Oct 28, 2019

If the train/station allows checked baggage, yes. Your best bet would be to call the station. I believe the rate is ~$25 per bag besides the 2 free carry ons.
