Niagara on a Budget

This article details my first trip to Can-A-da (aka Michael Scott “The Office” joke).  I have never been out of the country, and I honestly was so excited to use my passport.

My husband and I decided to drive from Philly to Niagara Falls, Canada, for a much-needed getaway.  With two weeks to plan this trip and going in with a limited budget, I was trying to plan a Niagara on a Budget Vacation.  First, I went to Hotels.com to look for cheap rates in the central area of Niagara. I was surprised to find the Econo Lodge by the Falls (located at 5781 Victoria Ave. Niagara Falls, ON L2G 3L6) was a great rate. I reserved (August 18-22, 2019) four nights and five days for just $427.48 – (CAD), which is $327.11 – (USD). I was on a high that I could not even explain, to get this price in the middle of August was such a great deal.

I was also able to find a page Full of Coupons, Discounts, and Special Offers for Niagara Attractions! (Don’t miss out on these awesome deals)

Next, I went onto Groupon to look at deals that I could use for our getaway. I was pleasantly surprised at what I found. Check out some of the deals that I found :

The Greg Frewin Show was a great date night for my hubby and me.  They do offer a food and drink menu at your table to order while watching the show.  As expected, he sawed his female assistant in half, did a card trick involving the audience, and brought out his beautiful tigers.  This was my first magic show, and I was pleasantly surprised at how entertaining it was. The hotel was a few steps away from our hotel.  Location: 5781 Ellen Avenue, Niagara Falls ON L2G 3P8.
