My wife and I are taking the kids to Niagara Falls for a few days this summer, and we’re planning to drive from NYC. What’s the best route to get there with stops that the kids will enjoy?
City is via I-81 N and I-90 W. The 6 hour and 28 minute drive is loaded with things to do!
Here’s how to get there:
Take Hudson St and I-78 W to NJ-139 W in Jersey City
Continue onto I-78 W/Holland Tunnel
Keep left at the fork to continue on NJ-139 W, follow signs for Pulaski Skyway/W 139 W/US 1-9/I-280/Kennedy Blvd/Jersey City
Stay on NJ-139 W, follow signs for Pulaski Skyway/West 139/Route 1-9/I-280
Take the exit toward US-1-9 Truck/I-280/Newark
Continue straight onto NJ-7 W/Newark-Jersey City Turnpike
Take the ramp onto I-280 W
Merge onto I-80 W
Take exit 293 for I-380 N toward Scranton
Continue on I-380 N before merging onto I-81 N
Take the exit onto I-690 W toward Fairgrounds/Baldwinsville
Take exit 1 to merge onto I-90 W
Take exit 50 toward I-290/Niagara Falls
Merge onto I-190 N toward Niagara Falls
Take exit 21 for Niagara Scenic Pkwy
Continue on Niagara Scenic Pkwy. Take Falls Ave/Roberts St/Regional Rd 420 to Stanley Ave/Regional Rd 102 in Niagara Falls, Canada
