Advice on Labor day for Niagra?

[wtrmlnlabs]

Due to hubby's work, our trip to Niagra is being forced onto Labor Day weekend. I'm finding the hotel prices are definitely more that weekend so it must be busier. Can anyone tell me just how bad it may be? How bad the crowds tend to be? I imagined it wouldn't be a great Labor Day getaway place, but looks like it's at least a bit in demand. We always travel off season so I'm getting quite worried about it!

TIA

I was in Niagara Falls last year for Labour Day (note that in Canada we have a "u" in "Labour" ) for a wedding and prices were through the roof. We ended up staying way way way off the strip and it was still quite pricey. And the crowds were very busy all weekend but kept moving. We just had to park a long way from everywhere we were going and walk. I think parking was generally $25 for anything close to the falls.

Everytime I have been near Niagara during Labour Day weekend it has been very busy.

Thank you!! The hotel prices weren't TOO bad, about $100 a night more. A lot more for sure, but due to the circumstances we'll deal. I wanted to stay close so we can walk everywhere. I hate paying for parking. (We ran up there this winter to see the falls frozen and paid 3 times to park, over $20 each time.) I'm mostly worried about the crowds. I'm not good with them at all, and I'm afraid of not being able to get on things. That and the fact I can't book yet because we're only about 90% sure we have to go then. Here's praying the 10% goes through and we can go another date
Thank you again very much!!!
